I Have Trichotillomania
I've had trich for 4 years now and I pull my eyelashes. I won't have the urge to pull for days or months, but as soon as I even think about it I start plucking. Last summer I was completely eyelashless. Things have always been really tight with my family and I have a lot of stress with friends and school as well, so I know what stress causes it...but I can't really do anything about that. I have bald spots in my eyelashes right now. I'm worried they won't come back but they always do. It usually happens when I'm reading or watching a movie. Whenever I wear clumpy mascara I'll always pick at it and sometimes eyelashes come off. It won't really hit me until I go to the mirror after and do some damage control. My parents are concerned, but not enough to do anything about it so I'm sort of on my own.
