It is calming, mostly because when people suffering from trich have an urge to pull, it becomes increasingly more and more intense and stressful until you give into the pulling urge. Generally, the more I try to resist pulling, the more agitated I get - so much that I'd rather just give in and pull, because I am so agitated, restless, and uncomfortable otherwise.

Like I said, I'm still on this NAC supplement to see if it helps at all. So far, still not sure if it's having an effect. It might be, but I think it's too early to tell, really.

And odd thing that I've noticed SOMETIMES helps: while my eyebrows are growing in (as they are usually sparse) I tend to tweeze specific hairs - for whatever reason, they are ones that bother me in a really specific way. Maybe they are too thick, or are growing in a funny direction - whatever. But individually tweezing those specific hairs, helps keep me from pulling at all of them. Like, I try to systematically get rid of the specific bothersome hairs so save myself from going in on the entire eyebrow spastically.
