hi.

i'm tara.
i have that too. i used to pull out my hair and i had a bald patch in the front and back of my head.
and then i started pulling out my eyebrows.
and now i stopped both of those, and i pull out my eyelashes.

this disorder is called trichotillomania, it is a chemical imbalance in the brain.

there are ways of overcoming it, i would suggest finding a new habit, or changing the area of yur body that you pull out hair from.

maybe try your arm hair because it is less visible.

but i would definetly not suggest your eyelashes, it makes you very self concious, and i have gotten to be very depressed about my appearance. i doubt my feminity sometimes.

good luck with trying to overcome it.
