I am trying something called n-acetylcysteine, or NAC. It's a supplement that has shown some potential as a treatment for trich. If you would like to know more, please visit the thread:

I linked some information on the study related to NAC. It's easy to find and order online, as well. It seems relatively safe (but don't take my word for it, talk to your doctor first). I'm going to make updates on how it's working for me (or not working, if that's the case). I think it's worth a shot.

In the past I have tried wearing hats or bandanas with my hair braided in pigtails, as I've gone as far as to chop all my hair off so that it was only about an inch to and inch and a half long, because that made it too short for me to grab and pull out. I also pull my eyelashes and eyebrows and found that wearing those thick, fake acrylic nails made it harder for me to grab on the tiny eyelashes or eyebrow hairs. Plus, if they're done well, they look pretty ^__^

Keeping my hands busy helps, too. I like working with my hands on craftsy projects, as well as playing computer games that require focus and constant interaction by pressing buttons.
