Re: Trichotillomania (hair pulling) support
Hi. Sorry to learn of your affliction and the severity of your OCD. :(
I've suffered from minor OCD my whole life and have develeped a personal program which helped immensely after a period where it had gotten quite severe following/during horrific tragedy, a deep
Depression and (--->) serious drug use.
I essentially came to a conclusion that 'thought' and specifically negative and painful never_ending repeating spirals of thought were completely failing me so I decided to attempt to bypass them completely. eventuially designed a process/which is a form of symbology combined with color therapy. it sounds weird but it has worked for me and a handful of other friends. actually, a few therapists think it is pretty amazing but I won't really know until a lot more people try it..
but your condition may be so serious that such an idea may seem ridiculous. you know, conceptually. If your goal is to find medication or something, this may not be very effective.
anyway, if you would like me to share this with you, please write me privately. It's pretty detailed and long winded plus I am including it in a book and am not ready to share it with anyone who is not in
