It's a bit late, but I wanted to update this tonight so I will make this entry shorter. Over the weekend I took skiing trip with some friends and family, and paid close attention to my pulling habits when I was in a different environment. I wasn't surprised that I pulled a lot less. This was probably because I was around friends most of the time. I didn't want to pull in front of them, nor did I feel the need to. When I'm not stressed, I generally don't pull. Sometimes when I pull I get confused because I'll say to myself that I'm really not stressed. I don't know why I'm pulling. But I think that when this happens I am more stressed than I think I am. I may be watching a movie, but I'm worried about what I have to do after the movie. So this explains why over my vacation I did end up pulling when the homework came out. At one point I reached up just to feel my eyebrows and was excited to find that they were definitely growing back. An hour later after reading in my English book they were gone. Hey, it's still progress. Tonight I did have an unusual, not so fun urge to pull just one hair from my eyebrow. Anyone with Trich understands the feeling that you just have to get that hair out. It's the most important thing in the world. I probably spent a half an hour trying to get this single hair out, which was of course, frustrating. This rarely happens though, so I'm hoping that writing about it might cause it to happen even less. Here's an updated graph from stoppulling.com. I'm still taking the NAC and I'm going to start trying to find some hand toys to distract myself from pulling soon. Thanks again for reading!
