Another thing I need to stop

Not sure in which category this belongs. Trichotillomania. I have been tearing out every single eyelash since I was a child. Now, the top lids are permanently bald. The bottom ones, for some reason, still grow. But I always tear them out. Every single one. My homie does not understand why I do this. I don’t either. I just cannot seem to help it. It hurts nobody, really, but still, it is a stupid behaviour to which I am a total slave. I hope nobody else on this forum does this…but can anyone relate somehow and if so, has anyone had success overcoming something like this…?

There are other people here who do that - here’s a list of some of the threads about it:

It is something you can work on with a good therapist and some cognitive-behavioural therapy :+1:
