Tips for managing trichotillomania

1. Accept that you have trich. The first step to overcoming trich is to accept that you have it and that it's a real condition. Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed. Once you've accepted that you have trich, you can start to work on overcoming it.

2. Know what your triggers are. What things make it more likely for you to pull? Some triggers can be stress, anxiety, boredom, or certain activities (like watching TV). Once you know your triggers, you can start to avoid them or find ways to cope with them.

3. Replace pulling with another behavior. When you feel the urge to pull, try to replace it with another behavior. Some examples could be squeezing a stress ball, fidgeting with a toy, or doing deep breathing exercises.

4. Talk to a therapist. If you're struggling to overcome trich on your own, talking to a therapist can help. They can help you understand your condition and develop coping mechanisms.

5. Don't give up. Overcoming trich is a process. There will be ups and downs along the way. But if you persevere, you can overcome trich and achieve your goal of having healthy hair.

Here are some additional tips that may be helpful:

* Keep your nails short and trimmed.

* Wear a hat or scarf to cover your hair.

* Use a fidget toy or other distraction when you feel the urge to pull.

* Talk to your friends and family about your trich and ask for support.

* Join a support group for people with trich.
