I've pulled my left eyebrow out for 5/6 years (I'm only 19 now) and at the moment it is so patchy its basically bald. Because of the patchiness and wanting to keep it hidden I have a big side fringe to cover it up. Recently I've been pulling more than usual, my anxiety levels have gone up (I know its trich' and anxiety related) and just want to stop, the funny looks people give me and the shame I feel when I do it in secret is getting unbearable. I'm relieved I'm not the only one in this boat though, makes me feel like I'm not so alone as I've always felt dealing with it... I mentioned it to my doctor before at Uni, she prescribed Beta Blockers to calm my heart rate, refuse to take them on the basis that theres really bad mental side effects linked to them. Any one else taken them? If so, have they worked?

- sorry its so long, I've just joined, need help and answers. This condition is really confusing me and no one else I talk to (friends, fam, uni people, work colleagues) understands.
