Eye Lashes out

[Shorty64743]

I pulled my eye lashes for about 20 years since.  I think it already damaged.  How can I stop it but bad habit for many years?

Thanks!

You can't do it alone as what you have been doing hasn't been working.  Time for therapy or a change in thinking thru self help books or therapy...

I think you should visit a dr and tell him/her about your compulsive eyelash pulling.  I used to do the same thing.  I pulled eyelashes, eyebrows and hair.  It was when I was a pre-teen and all through my 20's.  I sometimes still pull my eyelashes but not too often so I know when I'm under stress when I do it.  I believe it is an OCD called trichotillomania.  I never got "help" for it because it basically went away on its own.  But if you are still doing it, I would definitely recommend seeing a dr. about it.  My eyebrows will never be the same as a result of my pulling.  You don't want to do any more damage to your eyelashes.  Good luck to you!

It happened to me, I started young for some reason and its become an obsession, At one point my eyes became infected, and I had literally no eyelashes. I thionk tis gotta stop, its become better but when im stressed its always bad - does anyone know help?

I have the same disorder you have. It is called Trichotillomania, email me if you want the support site i am on for it. It is related to ocd because its the feeling of pulling your hair that keeps you pulling. I am a lash and brow puller myself and have learned alot about this, I am here if u need help.
