Hi everyone.

I've been suffering from depression and anxiety on and off for many years. In the past 5 or so years, I have been having an issue with my eyebrows.

I think it started because I kept over plucking. Then they all disappeared. And now they just won't grow back properly. I keep feeling the hairs growing back and I have this urge to get rid of them. It irritates me so much, I just can't stop picking them.

I don't know if this is Trichotillomania, but I can't stop myself doing it. I've tried one of those tangle toys to distract myself but it doesn't distract me for long, before I'm back picking,

I keep thinking maybe if they weren't so prickly I might not be tempted to pick so much. Putting conditioner on my eyebrows isn't working though. Still feels prickly.

Short of tying my hands together I don't know what to do. I'm a bit of a picker, so spots and things I can go overboard with. But you know if I have no eyebrows then it just looks silly. Glasses and a fringe hide things to an extent, but I just want my eyebrows back.

I tell myself when I'm picking that I'm doing damage but I just can't control the urge, hairs are prickly and I can't stand them being there.

Have I gone completely insane?
