Hi guys! So, I wanted to come on here to ask for advice. Long story short, I struggle with trichotillomania. If you're unaware what that is, it's a hair pulling disorder. Basically, back in March of 2020, I started pulling out my eyebrows. I don't know how it started or why, but before I knew it, half my eyebrows were gone. It used to only be one, but I soon switched over to the other, and next thing I knew both my eye brows were gone. Obviously I can just fill them in with make up but I wish I didn't have to worry about that and not feel self conscious whenever I leave the house without make up. I've tried things like putting oil on my eyebrows, stroking paintbrugrowth serums, even putting on long fake nails. While the fake nails do work for a while, as soon as they start falling off, I'm right back to pulling. Even if I'm not pulling I'm touching or stroking them. It's like an itch that always needs to be scratched.
I used to enjoy the pain (I know, weird) but now it just hurts. But I've created such a bad habit for myself that I don't know how to break.
Anyone have any advice? xoxo
