Chad,
Yep the form of hair pulling is called trichtillomania. I also suffer from it. I have pulled out all of my eyebrows over the course of many years and still do. I have been told that it is a form of OCD. Unfortunately no therapist has been able to help me. I have heard that Prozac is suppose to help with the urges but it never really helped me. I was told I would have to go to a behavioral counselor for years to help me reverse this disorder and that it might not even work!
I know how frustrating this is and that it is a constant struggle everyday. I wish that I had eyebrows but I just feel like I cannot stop. If you feel the need to talk to me about this some more please feel free.

Stay strong,
Jessica
