Hello Dina,

I also suffer from the same thing. I even pull out my eyelashes and have done this since I was also 12. I also fill in my eyebrows. :0( Definitely a type of anxiety issue. Some of the things that I have tried have been keeping my hands busy- making beaded necklaces, crocheting, sewing, writing or doing something active once I realize I have the urges to pull. For me it has not been an easy fix and I have also gone to therapy over it. Some days are better than others but hang in there. Looking for support is the first step. You can also keep a pull log…so you can track what you were doing and feeling when you pulled. This can help you see some patterns in your behavior and then figure out how to change some stuff. Hope this helps a little. You are not alone in this.
