Yeah same, my eye lashes are gone I can't go school now

@@deannahenry8925 I was forced to go to school when I had no eyelashes it was really rough. Hope you get better soon, it's nice to meet someone else who has the same thing as me!

@@bangtan_kookies1166 it's so bad now my eyelashes are all gone on both eyes . It was just one before with a little bit of lashes but no there none

@@deannahenry8925 Dont panic! Now you've hit bottom there's only one way to go and that's up! If you're really struggling my therapist lady was really helpful. She's from the company healthy minds (it's a UK based company so if your not from the UK you might want to check if you can get it over there) healthy minds is super helpful and not judgemental at all! I really hope you can get better!

Same I get my phone taken away because of it

Aww that's so nice of you! I'm sorry that I made you cry :( I'm so sorry that people made you feel ashamed of it. It's horrible to deal with but it's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of!! (I'm not ashamed of it anyway!) I'm so glad I was able to help and that you were feeling happy. Thank you so much for leaving such a lovely comment, made my night xxx

Ginger Clements I am 54 and like you feel like crying seeing/hearing this. I have felt so alone and ashamed with this. So glad this is now 'out there' so it becomes more understood.

i have trich and i pull out my eyebrows and eyelashes. it started around 3 years ago although its only gotten really bad this year. ive told my mom about having trich but she doesnt believe it to be a real condition and claims that its just a thing of self control so anytime i tell her about it she just tells me to control myself and stop. its really frustrating.

Ginger Clements omg i thought i was alone and felt the same expect my mother supported me with it, Sending love and support 😊💗🇦🇺

Ginger Clements ❤️🤗 you are SO not alone. I thought for a while I was also the only one.

Tierra Genova i used to wear glasses and heavvvyyyyy eyeshadow or eyeliner to hide it back in middle school, im in 11th now and have had my eyelashes back since the end of 8th grade and sadly they aren’t as thick as they used to be but I expected that but i look better with mascara on

Tierra Genova girl I have it to and I hate the way I look without eyelashes but when ever they start growing back it looks weird and I pick em away or I just don’t even notice when I do it and I wish I could get myself to stop and let them grow back :/

Cassidy Josey how’d you get them to grow back?

I’ve recently started putting false eyelashes on, I have glasses so the lashes look pretty real. My habit has been dying down which I’m happy about. It really takes my confidence down which is a bummer but I’m trying my best.

I am 48 and I just got them back after months of being bold. I got a white lash right in the middle of my eye but this time instead of pulling them out I started petting them instead. My need to look normal is what drives me not to pull.

Aw thank you gal! I'm so glad you managed to find my video and that it has helped a little :) apologies for the late reply! xxx

Danella Johnson ❤️🤗

Danella Johnson I do it to my eyebrows but now it’s just one of my eyelashes from one eye and now I fake eyelashes but it hard to buy fake eyelashes to make my face look good boyfriend never ask me and my mom think I have a problem with that bc I don’t where fake eyelashes or makeup to favor it up bc I have no job and no makeup that my skill color to put them on me and my sister is way more different color then me

Yes you just gained another subscriber. Glad to have found someone else who understands the struggle. My boyfriend doesn’t understand at all and gets mad at me when I pull. He finds it so weird. He says he wants me to look my best at all times.

There are plenty of us everywhere. Eliminate the cause of your stress.

Hey! Definitely not alone, there are a lot of us out there looking this! Glad to have been of help xxx

Same breh I know that this comment is old but I just started pulling my eyelashes out in late September but I haven't even thought about stuff like this and I never thought anyone else was like this so same

I look the same girls! I just lost mine permanently. Feel so much better to know im not alone 😢

So glad it's been of help Jay!! xxx

This comment was so so nice, thank you so much! And yes, my eyes get swollen if I have been pulling a lot - it is pretty horrendous. I'm so glad it has been able to help with doing your makeup. Thankfully false lashes are all the rage at the moment - it makes it so much easier to cover it up!! xxx

Aw I'm sorry that you're going through that, it really is quite horrible. But I'm glad you've found a few ways to deal with it! Very positive. I like using coconut oil as well, although I'm useless at remembering to do it! Good luck and thank you for commenting xxx

Can you go more into detail about the coconut oil? Did it actually help and about how long did it take until they grew back?

Honey if you can make it 4 months without pulling them all back out and able to deal with them beyond that point, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE STOP WHILE YOU CAN!!! I am about to turn 37 and have been pulling my eyelids completely bald top and bottom since the 3rd grade. My last attempt of growing them out (which took over a month and was painful and endlessly annoying) ended with me rubbing my itchy watery eyes from pollen one good time and most of them just rubbing right off when I did... See, when you pluck a hair, you essentially damage the follicle and the scalp around the follicle cuz you are removing it with root intact. Well, if you do that for long enough, over time the accumulated damage is, well, extensive and more or less permanent. Eventually they won't grow back at all, and the few that do grow back are tiny, thin, and the roots are fragile and just aren't able to "hang in there" anymore... That last time I tried and failed was absolutely soul crushing and I vowed not to put myself thru it again. I've done it for so long now that living with the disorder and bald lids is much easier for me to deal with than trying to stop... But I feel like if I had tried harder to stop when I was younger when I had the incentive of the other kids bullying me, and before I damaged the follicles beyond repair, maybe I'd have eyelashes now and feel normal. But I just stay depressed all the time and feel awkward if I don't have my eye makeup on cuz I don't think I look right, and that makes me feel some typa way, like I don't feel like myself cuz I don't look like myself and so I don't act like my normal true self cuz I'm too busy doing mental gymnastics constantly... Yeah, I got issues, I know...

Thank you so much for your lovely comment. I'm sorry too, I think I would have struggled a lot if I wasn't able to talk about it openly. But I am glad that you have come across it and feel less alone xxx

Or when you give up on your fingers cuz now they're sore too and you grab the tweezers (which I am super picky about cuz most of them suck at their job!) and end up poking yourself in the eye with the really pointy part or if they're too good you end up pinching the skin on the lid!! Omfg that shit hurts so much!!!

Thank you Kate, that's so kind of you! Yeah, putting on lashes is such a nightmare - but it is doable! Thank you for commenting, hope you're well xx

Hi Gina, sorry for the late reply. Yes I know the feeling all too well. Honestly, the lash tweezers/applicators are the best thing for putting lashes on! I can't bear to use my hands of even normal tweezers anymore, they're the worst haha. Did you end up starting a blog? Do send me the link if so! xxx

g_beauty_blog Hi! No worries at all. Thank. You so much for replying! Yep, it’s tough. I made some progress with my lashes growing back a good deal and then a couple of weeks ago...well you know. I think I ended up using my fingers but I did try regular tweezers. I’ll have to go in search of a a good lash applying one. Thanks for the tip! We did start our blog yes! Thank you so much for asking and for showing interest. 😀👍🏻Our blog is: www.taittfitness.com, and please check out our Facebook page, facebook.com/TaittFitness and Instagram (@TaittFitness). Almost forgot haha we also made a KZfaq channel (just TaittFitness). But we only have two videos so far lol. We aren’t experienced like you! Thanks again for everything and for being awesome! Also please know that again your video was really helpful for me!🙏🏻♥️ Also forgot to say that the waterline tip is SO good. I just have very sensitive eyes so doing that irritates my poor sensitive eyeballs 😆.

Thank you so much Jodi, means a lot to me. Thank you for watching and leaving such a lovely comment xxx

Thank you sweetie. I have had Trich for over 45yr. Never worn lashes as didn't know how to. And I had no one to ask for help. Your beautiful xx

Omg yes! The baby lashes are the most satisfying it's frustrating af

Hey! Yeah, it really isn't very nice. So sorry to hear you have it. Glad you liked the video xx

Oh my god Gabby this makes me so happy, I'm so glad you felt beautiful and I hope you had the best day xxx

You're welcome Marsha, thank you so much for commenting! I'm glad it helped xx

Melonlicious 4 hey! Thank you so much for your kind words, I really appreciate them. I'm sorry that you have low self esteem, it's pretty easy to fall into that trap dealing with this disorder. I'm so happy that your friends have been accepting though! It makes a huge difference and I'm really glad you're able to be open about it. I hope you inspire people too! Xxx

Aw Morgan - thank you so much :) Really means a lot to me. Yes mine too! Mine have been blowing up like crazy recently - so inconvenient. Especially when putting makeup on it, ouchies. You are more than welcome. Hope you are well and thank you for commenting xxx

Thank you for commenting! I'm sorry about that, such a long time to have it as well. I'm glad it has helped you feel less ashamed! There is nothing to be ashamed about. Glad you like your pencil! xxx

Hi Rebekah, thank you so much for your kind words! I'm so happy you managed to watch it right until the end - it's a pretty long video! Falsies are a pain, but it really does cover up the trich and helps to stop you from pulling as well. Thank you again & good luck xxx

Oh wow - that's amazing to go from 30 years of pulling to pull-free. Do you have any tips for me?! I'm sorry that they've grown back like that. I'm assuming you've tested some serums and stuff to grow them? A lot of people rave about the Rapid Lash, haven't been able to tell myself because I pull out my lashes too soon! Otherwise, if you're in the UK, the LVL/Nouveau Lashes extensions look lush. Thank you so much for commenting xxx

Aw Linda, thank you! I'm so sorry that you have trich, it really is the worst. But I'm so glad you've been able to get some help through my videos, it really does mean the world to me xxx

I have the same problem ik you probly won’t see this bc this comment is 2 years old but I did some reader has and I’m guessing you also don’t do it in public so try going around with friends or family or just for a walk next time you start pulling ps biking might be good since it keeps your hands occupied :’)

@@Puple459 Thanks I hope this helps

That's so young! I think I was 11 when I started, it's really horrible to have for so long isn't it. I'm so glad it has helped! Thank you for your comment xxx

Hi Prim Plum! That sounds horrible, how rude of them. I'm really glad it's helped, falsies are a bit of a pain but they are a life saver. Eyeliner as well is great for covering up the patches. Thank you so much for commenting and good luck xxx

Sorry to hear that you have trich as well but you're very welcome for the video! xxx

Thank you for all of your tips, every little helps! Eyeliner is definitely our friend! Thank you for commenting xx

Fernanda Thompson Welcome! 🤗

No, you are definitely not alone or weird! Unless you think I'm weird hahaha. It is super hard, I find the less stressed I am the easier it is but yes, if you find a way then please do let me know!! xxx

Hi Kylie, I'm so sorry to hear that. I know the feelings completely, and it really is a horrible thing to go through. I found the easiest way to cope is to just accept it, which is really hard and horrible but it does mean you're not frustrated with yourself because you just accept it. I personally am a big fan of false lashes! They help me to not pull as well, as they cover up the area, and they look super pretty too! xxx

g_beauty_blog ok Thx so much for the help

Kylie Lewis yes

@@snowypickles4081 Me too whenever I would pluck I would look in the mirror and find a lot more missing than I thought. It's the worst feeling in the world

Ikr

You're very welcome Mary! It isn't rare at all, you are definitely not alone :) thank you for your comment xx

Thank you!

Alejandra Soto No it doesnt! To look natural, she needs to use shorter lashes that look real

Hi Taylor, thank you for getting in touch and for you kind words! Sorry that you've had it so long, it really does suck. I've heard a lot of good things about microblading, glad that it's worked out well for you. It's great that you've found someone to help you, support really is so important. And you're welcome! xxxx

​@@Gbeauty13❤

Sophie Pearson Try castor oil and take biotine. They work wonders!

Sophie Pearson hey Sophie! I know how you feel. The things I'd recommend are rapid lash or castor oil, rapid lash is much more expensive though. And biotin is good as well (it's a supplement) although it does make other hair grow faster as well. Mine take ages to grow back as well, so I fully understand your pain - so frustrating. Hope these help! I have a few tips etc on my blog as well if you want to have a look there :) www.gbeauty.co.uk/search/label/trichotillomania?m=1 xxxxx

You're so welcome Hannah and nope, definitely not alone! Thank you for the comment xxx

Hey Mimi! That is so great to hear!! You should definitely start doing your own youtube channel to show us how you cover up your trich!! Oh that's interesting, I didn't find duo was strong enough for me. I swear by the revlon lash glue! I don't know to be honest! I think the ardell lashes and the nouveau lashes ones have a nicer band that aren't irritating to the eye? Neither of them have given me that scratchy feeling for months!! Thank you for commenting xxx

my baldness looks exactly like yours.. 😊

Hey! Thank you so much for getting in touch. I'm really sorry to hear that, it really does suck doesn't it. At least we are in it together! xxxx
