17 Days.

I am 17 days completely pull free today. It is a struggle every day. I work full time and have just started my master's degree. I am recovering from a break-up. I just moved into an apartment with a new roommate. I am trying to find myself again.
But. I am having a really hard time right now. I am trying to get through my reading for my homework. My hands were fiddling with my eyebrows, or reaching for my hair, or just gently itching my eyelids. The urge to pull is calling me, and it's terrifying. I have been working SO FREAKING HARD to get where I am. It's only 17 days!
I'm wearing a hat, and I took out my contacts so I can wear my glasses. I only have 8 more pages to go, and edit some papers and print them out.
I just hate this struggle so much, but know that I have to take it one day at a time. I don't want to slip up! I've been feeling so good. I actually have lashes on my top lids. My eyebrows... are slowing coming in. The bald patch on my head isn't so white as the hairs begin to stick straight up and grow. I am really proud of myself and the progress that I have made, but I am still having a really rough time tonight, and I wish there were more people I could talk to about it.
Wishing you all love and strength.
