Help For Hair Pullers is the name of the book.
Go and buy it. They have it on Amazon and Barnes and Noble.
It's a great book. Really enlightening. Might not help stop pulling, but at least you won't feel so bad about it.
Tips from shrink:
I've been pretty bummed lately for a few reasons, so I've been doing quite shitty at my techniques.
He suggests muscle tensing. It's hard to explain, but I haven't really done it anyway.
Logging helps, but yesterday, I pulled like, 24 times at work. Horrible!
Having supportive people around is a big plus.
My boyfriend gently says my name if he sees me messing with my hair and I have him ask me everyday how I "did" which is code for "did you pull?"
Time will tell.

I'm seeing a shrink!
So, I started seeing a psychologist that specializes in trich.
Rad rad rad.
I'm super excited.
He gave me this book. I can't remember the name. I'll post it. It's super interesting.
I've been logging (at work) all the times I pull.
He's also teaching me habit-changing techniques.
I'm so lazy. I really need to try harder.
Booyah!

Goodbye Fat Ass, Bald Head
So, I'm working my way to eating better and not pulling.
Today is Day 3 of No Pull Week for me.
Let's see if I can reign surpreme.
Booyah.
I also weigh like, 148 lbs, which is fine and dandy, but I want to lose 10 pounds.
This will be very hard, since I'm in a good place where I don't gain or lose weight.
Don't worry, I'm 5'7", so weighing 138lbs isn't unhealty, it's normal.

Tips? Tricks? Ugh.
It really seems to me this "disease" or whatever the fuck is a joke.
I mean, I can't stop, but at the same time, it feels like I make no effort.
Is my brain really that jumbled that I don't think about being bald? Not being able to get a haircut for years?
It's lame.
I'm in my 20's. This is about as hot as I'm ever going to get(not saying I'm super hot or whatever). Why ruin it with a lame haircut and low self-esteem?
Fuck it.
I need a change.
I've said that 1000 times before.
How do I get it?
Change is easy to talk about. Fucking hard to do.
Blah.

Blah
I'm doing okay.
There is this one spot on my head I keep going for.
Dammit.
I am wearing my hat when I study more frequently, so that definitely helps.
What doesn't help is that Geology is the most boring ass thing ever.
I can't keep my interest in it.
I started reading The Dark Tower series by Stephen King again.
I've read 1-4, but I've owned the 5th book (wolves of calla) forever and never read it.
That shit ends right now.
I love those books.
I almost bitch slapped my crazy Christian friend for saying some dumb shit about how Stephen King has assistants to write his books.
This coming from the guy who thinks the world is only 6000 years old.
Dumbass.
