I have a problem of pulling my eyelashes and eyebrow hair, it's not too bad now but, sometimes it's bad.?

Question

there will be no eyelashes in spots, I use eyeliner to cover it up what do i do to prevent myself from doing this and how do i cover up what I've already done.

Answer 1

There's a word for that...trichotillomania. It's a very common obssive compulsive behaviour, often occuring under times of stress or boredom. My dad did it for years, then suddenly stopped overnight when he retired. It's so wierd seeing huge bushy eyebrows on him now... I can't help but stare. Eating the hair after you yank it is common too. See the sites below for more info.

Answer 2

There is an actual medical psychological term for your condition. I cannot recall the name at this time, but please please please get to a psychiatrist IMMEDIATELY. They can definitely help you because this is a real lllness not just a bad habit.

Answer 3

It is called trichofilamania... It may not be bad now, but it can get progressively worse... My cousin has no eyelashes and a large bald spot in her hair... You have got to do something... she is on meds, but I heard drinking and applying apple cider vinegar helps... Oh and always keep your hands busy... Don't look in the mirror except when you need to get ready, BUT KEEP THOSE HANDS BUSY!!!

Answer 4

dont pull it out?

i dont get why you do......

if youre trying to take off your makeup and you accidently rip out your eyelash, just rub your eye with a washcloth and water and face wash...

Answer 6

I do it too.  Mostly my eyelashes but sometimes eyebrows.  Other places too.  I don't know why I do it.  Maybe a nervous thing.  Dunno

Answer 7

You have a form of ocd, obsessive compulsive disorder. You need to see a Dr.

Answer 8

well, i guess you have to just tell yourself not to be an idiot and then stop doing it. eventually they will grow back. if it looks really ugly, then i guess you can remember that, and use that image to stop the behaviour.
