I have trichotillomania and mostly pull my eyelashes. I've been stressed and so now on one lid I can literally count my eyelashes on one hand. I want to stop and be able to have nice looking lashes like the rest of my family. How?

Hi comicgeek007 My suggestion would be to try to avoid stressful situations. That's what seems to be triggering you. Make sure you discuss this with your doctor, so he/she can adjust your meds as needed. Take care..........

A girl on tumblr, who struggles with picking, made a post saying that the amount of notes will be the period of time without picking. She hasn`t done this in 20 days.

this will really only help if you are female and wear eyeliner- but i struggle with this as well, and i buy really sparse strips of fake eyelashes from sephora. this works for me because i am very self conscious (i dont want people to know that i wear them or have trichotillomania- dont want people to think im weird) and that if i do pull them off, i am going to have this very ugly bald spot in my makeup that the glue pulls off with the lash strip. so for me this is a very good deterrent.
after i buy them, i trim them down a bit ( i usually buy the Fringe Benefits package by Sephora Collection or the Makeup Forever False Lash Set in Julia 105) and i use Duo lash glue in clear- but if you rush out the door in the morning i would recommend the black glue since the white glue takes like 15 min to dry all the way clear. i use a bit of mascara to to clump the lashes so they dont look too perfect. it takes no time at all (after youve gotten the hang of it), i dont notice them, and i wear them even when im sleeping (the duo glue lasts like 24 hours). i do yoga, and i sweat a lot, and they stay on just fine during that too. the duo glue just peels right off the strip when you take them off and you can reapply in no time! hope this helps. i currently have no lashes either, and have just started this 24 hour routine these past few weeks. it seems to be working ! |

I'm not sure if this will help, but I put band aids on my thumbs to stop myself from pulling. Since I can't feel the texture of my hair when I'm wearing the band aids, I don't feel as satisfied when pulling. I guess this would only work if your pulling is conscious. I hope this helps!
