Okay, time to get off the trich/pick pity pot…

March 31, 2011 – 10:25 am

Sweet Ones,  this is you, whoever is reading this at this very moment! Time for me to forge ahead, get off the pity pot of  “why don’t more people get involved for real, instead of watching from the sidelines…”  regarding trichotillomania and skin picking that I have been on for a few months.  Some of this [...]

Why do I work so hard to help with trichotillomania?

October 9, 2010 – 9:43 pm

Tonight, I am sad. I have just been reading so many posts, from parents of trichsters, from adults with pulling and picking, and from teens, all wondering what to do, looking for answers, looking for hope and guidance. Sometimes, I do not feel like much has been accomplished in the field when I read such [...]

My Trek for Trichotillomania

October 6, 2010 – 1:10 pm

I did it. Last Friday, I walked 20 miles through three towns, to raise money for TLC and the work it does for people struggling with hair pulling and skin picking. I raised $3500, for which I am very grateful – even though I had grand dreams of raising =$20,000! Here’s the thing: it was [...]

Time…

September 20, 2010 – 9:26 pm

Dear World, Time. Is a funny concept-thing-process, whatever. Here it is a bit after 9pm, and I have so much I want to do, yet I do need to sleep. I have just spent the past hour or so researching brain imaging studies in trichotillomania, and it has been profound to see the evolution from 1989 [...]

Today is a good day…

September 19, 2010 – 9:44 am

Good morning world! Today is a good day. Not for any particular reason, but I woke up late, and just made myself a cup of coffee. When I used the potholder (you know, the kind you made as a kid with cotton loops and wove them together…) to grab the teapot, I noticed the texture [...]

Wednesday mid-week musings

September 15, 2010 – 9:01 am

hmmm.  Still feeling sleepy from my late night last night – and waking up so early today! On Tuesdays, I am now taking a 10 week training course in MBSR to learn how to teach it. MBSR stands for Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction, and I kind of “fell” into it last December when I was [...]

Another Monday

September 13, 2010 – 7:58 am

Good morning! I have such a strong desire to write – my story, essays, musings, I am not even sure what wants to emerge – I just know that something does! I grew up in a household of writers, and I do know that an important key is to write every day. So, here I [...]

Trichotillomania and raccoons at 5:00am…

September 11, 2010 – 6:32 am

Good morning! Well, woke up about an hour ago, not sure exactly why, but got up to put the water on for a cup of coffee. As Rex was still asleep, I didn’t turn on any lights, as I could see well enough to get around. I did notice our calico cat, Isabella,as she scurried [...]
