    Oh my gosh!!! I am the same age and I have the same exact situation. My eyebrows were once really thick and ugly, now they are uglier because they don't exist. I suffer from mild depression and OCD with hair. I'm not trying to sound like an internet stalker or anything, but we should talk sometime? I just recently joined, and this is my first time talking about my secret. I had never felt so alone in the world, until I learned I am not the only girl with this problem. Others feel my pain and they know exactly what I am going through. It just makes me mad that I can't stop! There's no reason I do it! It's an everyday battle to even look in the mirror...

      I would LOVE to chat with you too girlfraaan!!! :) we have a lot in common about this trich business. and depression! Mine probably wasn't as severe as yours. I learned how to toughen up and be a fighter through the pain I went through, emotionally. I've learned that I am strong, because I know I am weak. is that from a movie or something? I don't think that beautiful phrase just came from my brain! haha...
