YAY!!!!!! (and analysis)

I'm SO excited!!! I cannot calm down! This is the greatest thing to happen to me since I got Trichatillamania!!!!! This is the one thing I have wanted to happen for SO LONG!!!!! Finally happened!!!!! AH!!!!!! I have never been so happy to have a "bad hair day" (meaning a day where I pull a lot)!!!!  The Lord used something that I always get upset about- embarrassed about and feel ashamed about- to give me great joy and grant me my largest, most important request!!! Something that could be CRITICAL in setting me free from the bonds of my addiction!

I found ANOTHER TRICHA!!!!!! I am so giddy and happy and cannot stop moving!!! I am overflowing with joy and excitement!!!! We swapped phone numbers and I sent her a link to this blog... We see each other at least once a week already. We're going to be partners in tackling this monster! We now have a such a deep connection! SO FEW people understand our struggle!!! But she understands me and I understand her!!! More than my other friends could ever understand by talking to me or even reading this blog, where I am very open, honest, and real about what's happening in my head and how I feel...

I was planning on posting tonight anyways- today was not a real good day... I tried a new technique in one of my classes. Everytime I pulled out a hair, I wrote down the time. ...like this:

 1445-58-1503-05-10-23-24-27-32-36-37-41-43

The class is one hour and 15 minutes long (1430-1545)... and I pulled THAT MANY times. Another note: I only wrote down any one minute once. Some of those were multiple hairs. Notice the fluctuation. I'd be going for a while (i.e. 1510-1523) and then I'd pull out in close intervals right after that. This is pretty common. I did this to try to evaluate how this actually goes. I wasn't sure if the pattern was really like that... or if I was imagining that progression. As I wrote down times, I tried not to analyze how often I was pulling, but just make note and continue to try not to pull- regardless of the number of hairs I had pulled or the frequency. I was just focused on "Don't pull now!" Then if I did pull, "Ok, what time is it? 1510. Ok." Then back to "Don't pull now!" There was no condemnation or analyzation during the process. It was pure research. I just wanted to share this information with all of you.

Anyway, I'm still SO EXCITED!!!!
