I’m watching this right after I pulled a bunch of lashes out AGAIN.. now I’m almost completely bald in both eyes 😭☹️ I hate having this disorder. It makes me feel so depressed.

The small baby stubble lashes that grow back are my weak spots... I’m incredibly focused on removing the prickly areas and loving the bald clean feeling when the hairs are gone. But, when I look in the mirror I feel so disappointed in myself as I’m sure people wonder why I have bald spots on my eyelids. Somehow I remain confident in social settings. Just need to figure out a way to stop pulling for the long term.

It’s so bad for me I hate it so much I’m so confident until I relapse and then my eyes are literally bald. I don’t ever feel calm or satisfied until I do it but after I get so upset:(

I can't help but have my hand on my head when I lay down & I start searching and pulling any hairs I consider "weird" thick/kinky ones and then I can't stop.

I don't have top lashes or eyebrows. This makes me insecure about them, and whenever I see a makeup tutorial, and someone is putting on mascara, I think the lashes are so beautiful! Anyone else?

I REALLY was convinced that I was the only one with this issue I've been struggling since I was a teenager with this 😭😭 it's comforting to know I'm not the only one and there's a way to beat it

I’ve honestly been pulling my lashes and eyebrows out since 3rd grade. I’m 23 and it’s still a constant struggle especially with my anxiety. I’ve kept it from my family for years. To this day they have no idea I do it.

I am so glad I found this video. I pull out my lashes since I was about 6 and now I am 22. My mom would constantly shout at me (from when I was 7 years old) and telling me that I look ugly and everyone would be making fun of me and that no one would want to be my friend etc. She has stopped the last 3-4 years talking about it thankfully. It really shuttered my confidence and still does. I can't look someone in the eyes and I don't let anyone see me without eyeliner. I am living with my boyfriend for 9 months now and I am wearing eyeliner 24/7 literally. It just feels good knowing I am not alone💕💕

The problem is that i dont do it without i feel it, i check if there are any 'loose' lashes and if anyone hurt a littlw i jsut stay pulling until its out but I'm fully aware that im doing itz but if there arent any loose ones i woudlnt do it, hut the problem is if i tried pulling 1 hair i would accidentally pull more with it and they would become loose and i would had to pull it and thats how i get bald spots, but atleats im aware that im doing it :/

I have this condition. It makes me feel alone and anxious all the time. My own mother told me I look like a lizard. I’m literally 12 years old. I have not pulled in a while and I wanted to share some things I do. I have a locket that I open and close every time I feel like doing it. It doesn’t help every time but it helps enough. I understand that this won’t help everyone but I’m happy to help anyone I can because I know how it feels to be depressed about it. Just know that y’all are not alone and that you can power through this!

I love this - I feel like we all need therapy tbh

I used to have long, thick, full, dark eyelashes. I'm scared that they will never look like they used to...... 😓

My 11 yo has pulled out all her lashes. I thought I heard you say you have “grow back” hacks. I’d love to see a video on that! 😘

You have almost 37,000 subscribers. 800 of them watched this. Only 48 liked it. I wish there were more people that are aware that this is a problem. (That was probably a badly worded sentence). Thanks for posting these videos. Just last night I pulled almost all my lashes out, but I believe these tips will help. Everyone who sees this, even comment something short like ‘Thanks’ because we need to get these videos into people’s recommended sections more.

I can’t stop it’s tempting with my eyebrows I cover it up with eye brow crayon thing

i have, on my left eye a space with no eye lashes, like in the middle. on the other side there’s only 2 eye lashes left in the middle and the spaces are huge

i love pulling out my eyelashes. only after i'm bald, i regret it. funnily tho, my eyelashes grow back within 3 months and they are longer than before so i have to fight temptation not to do it again 😂 i'm gonna start vaseline on my lashes and hope for the best now lmao. my pro tip is, to get long acrylic nails so u cant grab your lashes

I thought it was because I was stretching my mascara too much and using it beyond expiration and after a bottle of wine sitting on the couch it was fun to pull my eyelashes until I had relief. Lol it always felt like one was about to fall out and it was uncomfortable... so I pulled and pulled until I felt like I got it. I’ve never pulled out my entire lash but I have been bald in little sections and then I have to rock eyeliner for like 2 weeks until they grow back lol

Honestly it's satisfying plucking out your eyelashes

don’t take this as hate it’s just my opinion. I have trichotellamania my self, for 3 years now. I’ve tried everything possible to stop. My mom has looked up every single way possible to stop, or to help it stop. Keep in mind I’m 12. I’ve written in journals, I’ve gone to therapy, I’ve taken medication, I’ve literally tried everything to stop. I have pulled the whole top of my head, I’ve pulled my eyelashes, my hair, eyebrows, and arm hair. I just hate it. I hate not being liked, i hate being judged, i hate not liking my self, i especially hate looking at my self in a mirror or anything. It just breaks my heart so much. I hate being stared at in public, that’s why i don’t like going to school. I always wear hoodies, i hide my face, i love being around family but i hate being in pictures because i feel like I’m ruining it, i hate being with family because i get started at, and how I’m always being looked down, or how I’m just not the person to talk to. I have a severe gaming addiction. I will play for 10 hours straight if you let me. I hate that my family thinks that all i care about is games. I HATE how i just can’t interact with my mom, my sibling, my family, my friends, because I’m so addicted to my games that i get lost in time not thinking about anything but games. It stresses me out so much. School on top of that, i make bad grades, sleep in class because I’m so stressed out that i can’t go to sleep, I’ll stay up till 2 in the morning to where i have 4 hours of sleep, the pulling addiction just gets worse and worse. My mom leaving me at 6-7 pm at night with my two sibling that are 1/2 and 7 STRESSES ME OUT LIKE HELL. I can’t watch a two year old and a hyperactive 7 year old by my self till 2 in the morning. I don’t know where the hell she’s going or what the hell she’s doing for 6 hours straight but i think i have clue. And if she finds this well too bad. My anxiety is just so bad i can’t handle it. I cry so often and i hate being alone even though i don’t like to talk to people, i don’t like to socialize. I get gripped at because either i don’t do what I’m supposed to do, I’m rude to my brother, i don’t “seem to care” about my siblings, and how i don’t do what I’m told. ITS HARD, HAVING TO DO EVERYTHING AROUND THE HOUSE BY MY SELF. I have to sweep, i have to mop, i have to do the dishes then put them up, i have to clean my room, clean my sisters room, vacuum, etc. My mom always says “I’m not your maid pick your own stuff up” WHEN SHES THE ONE NOT PICKING HER STUFF UP AND TELLING ME TO DO IT. I feel like a maid, honestly. I’m sorry if I waisted your time or if i got too into my feelings about this but this really matters to me and it feels better to just let it out instead of talking this out to someone. Thank you for your time. Have an amazing day/night to everyone Stay safe❤️

I've been pulling my lashes out since I was 13 I'm now 18, and when I get a bald spot I get nervous that people are gonna talk to me about it and judge me

What I do to not take them out is where acrylic nails because I can’t pull them with acrylic nails

I've been dealing with this problem for 4 years and I really need to stop but I can't 😭

What has truly helped me is not putting on mascara. I put eyeliner but no mascara and this iliminates triggers. It's been 2 years I do not pull and I agree. Self control and working on your self love helps so much. Affirmations, as " I can do it" are so very very helpful. Jog run, walk, skip, jump anything to get the heart rate going and to release those urges. YOU ALL CAN DO IT!!!!!!!! I promise you can!!! Oh also Vaseline helps the. Grow faster and softer, that helped me so much!!!

I find this helpful! Self awareness is very helpful…I have been struggling with it for over 20 years… it started when I was a little girl. I not only pulled all of my lashes on both eyes I also did both my eye brows. Once had very long thick eye lashes and perfect eye brows which no longer have. I used to do it when I would fall asleep or watch tv. It end up becoming an OCD habit where if it didn’t feel right on one side to the other I had to pull it even when it was tingly…it would almost be satisfying after I finished but not satisfying when I realized there’s no hair. So using makeup everyday to cover what’s missing and would get compliments on how beautiful I would do my makeup and little did they know that I have no hair. But I am honest and do tell people yea i don’t have any eye brows or lashes and they would say wow I never even realized until you said it. I am not as bad as I used to be but I still struggle with it and have nothing but stubs here and there. Thought about getting Cosmetic permanent make up done and Micro blading. The struggle is real for sure…

I think it is weird to a men posting here, but i ended up with no eyelashes, nothing, 0, I started one or the other before, but a 2 weeks back, I just started pulling all my lashes and I finish with none, anyway, the truth is that I do not feel bad, it even feels good not to feel anything in my eyes, the sensation of pulling my eyelashes went away and what bothered me the most was seeing stripes or hairs, that feeling that later you you pull one eyelash and you keep seeing that hair and no matter how much you try to remove that eyelash, it is still there, but now I feel free, I don't see any more hairs, and I feel happy about that. My wife and daughters are very comprensive with me, no issues with it and I use eyeliner to cover that I don't have any eyelashes and my life goes great Nobody should feel bad about this, just feel good about yourself and I assure you that people will not even realize that you do not have eyelashes, just use eyeliner and that's it. :) by the way, you look great without eyelashes, really, and just using the eyeliner you look great

Thank you for these videos. My eyelashes are the worst they have ever been. I am bald in the middle of my left eye. I’m looking forward to watching more of your videos.

I don't pull them as much, but play with my eyelashes and press on them just to hear the crunching noise it makes. Very weird habit but it's hard to stop

I love you, friend!!! Thanks for sharing this ❤️

I think I have Trichotillomania,my parents say pulling eyelashes and eyebrows is just a habit,which I dotn believe

I’m having the urge to pull them out right now. I’ve only ripped out 4 before I forced myself to stop which I’m proud of since I usually rip them all out. The root just feels so itchy 😣

Omg my eyes look like this right now! only lashes on the outside and thats bc they wouldn’t come out! smh I stopped for almost a year and I couldn’t help it anymore.

keeping my nails done also really helps

I started at 10 and im 11 now so i have been plucking my eyelashes and by eyebrows for a about a year now, the only time i could fully stop was for about 3 days, it makes me really insecure and i do hope that i will stop for a good enough time for my eyelashes to fully grow back!

Anyone watching this while pulling?

I pull my lashes out and it feels satisfying once Im doing it but I feel super guilty afterwards

Sometimes I wonder tho like why me? This started when I was probably like 8 and now I just do it out of bad habit. It’s scary and depressing tho

I pull with my fingers and I have super short nails. I have times were I’m going good and don’t pull but I go back to pulling😕. I’m 18 and I’ve been pulling since a young age. I’m just great that my lashes grow back quickly

I've been pulling my lashes since I was about 6 and I'm almost 23 now. I've gave my tweezers to my mom and my therapist suggested that everytime I get the urge to pull, see if I can go 15 minutes without doing it and another 15 minutes. Everytime I do good, I relapse and pull out the lashes that are "out of place" or "don't look right"

I started pulling when I was 16 I am now 28. I got tape in extensions and they help me tremendously I haven't pulled in 64 days

I need helpppp. I’ve had trich since I was 11, pulling from my scalp. For two years, I stopped pulling and my hair was GORGEOUS. But the second quarantine happened and I had to quit school, it started again. Now it’s the ABSOLUTE WORST ITS EVER BEEN! I’ve always had a spot on the side of my head, easy to cover up. Now... easily half my hair is GONE and I’m literally broken inside

I haven’t done this in a long time, it’s been so long since having huge chunks of lashes missing. I don’t know how to feel.

Thanks everyone in my school bullies me about it and I cants control it

I've had it since kindergarten it became a coping mechanism for me 15 years later and I'm still struggling.. 😞

B4 COVID I’ve been pulling my eyelashes den start pulling my skin and have scabs on my eyelid and pick at them too🙁it’s honestly annoying but I can’t stop myself, this been gone at for 6 years 😭

i pull, and in realised i bite my nails and then its easier for me to pull, ive been biting my nails since preschool, and pulling since 3rd grade, my eyelashes just grew back, i just pulled them all out 😭

Thank you for this video. I'm 16 and I just had the worst relapse last night, my lashed are thinning again. Im going to talk about fake lashes with my mom, thank you

I've had trichotillomania since forever. I've been pulling for over 50 years. It sucks, but for most of that time I've been able to hide my bald eyelids and brows with cosmetics and false lashes. Trich is classified on the obsessive compulsive disorder spectrum. www.bfrb.org/ Trich website might be helpful. Beeta - thank you for your wonderful videos. ❤

I am going to take notes so I don't forget

To see people going through the same thing as me makes me feel less alone. 😇 I first started picking my eyebrows because they were hurting, I started picking at my eyebrows to find the peice that was hurting and before I knew it, A whole patch of hair was gone. I cried because my mom was angry with me and thought I was going crazy and made me take pills and Told me that I was gonna go into a crazy asylum if I didnt stop picking. I tried but I struggled so much, I used castor oil and grew my eyebrows back in 2 weeks gladly. but before I thought it was over… I started to pick my eyelashes because they were itching. 😞 A whole patch of my lashes were gone in one eye. I’m sure that this happens when you are having bad anxiety or depression, So im thinking that i may be going through something :/ My mom doesnt understand my condition, So I havent even told her I have no lashes because If I do then ill probably be in a asylum with crazy people :( So I watch youtube videos and do research on this condition and learned that it wasnt only me suffering this :( I just really pray I get my lashes back :/ because I miss them. And the comments on this video really helped :) It made me cry but its nice to see that we arent alone! So if you have this condition dont worry you will be fine! You will grow your hair back~~ Have a good day/night!

I've been doing this for 40 years, will the lashes ever grow back? Thankyou for your honest and informative information.

I start pulling because of people or waterproof mascara. I eliminated both. I love my lashes and brows more than people and mascara.

I’ve had this issue since I was a kid, and I always hate when I relapse. Thank you for your videos!!

i have Trichotillomania BAD. i need therapy

Jesus Christ please help us all , please deliver us and set us all free in Jesus name that I pray amen 🙏🏾 ❤️

I hate that I always do this when I'm stressed TF 😫 out!! Also feeling paranoid because they itch at certain times of the day, and putting my mascara on, in which it might be expired or died out, then instant my brows and lashes start itching sooooo bad that I don't think about the aftermath, then I look at them and hate myself for doing it. Also my family calls me sick cause i get so upset that I pulled way, way too much and I get thoughts of burning them. I'm so embarrassed that I don't have the balls to tell my psychiatrist about it. 😪

I’ve had trich for 31 years now and I haven’t had much relief since about 94 when I had a family death. Mine is usually triggered by stress and anxiety. I’m currently trying to get my CDL and I’m super stressed. Therapy never worked for me. Hopefully your will help me.

I struggle and this helps 💙🦋

I have been trying to stop and it is hard but i have not done it in a while and my eyelashes are growing back!!!! 💖

I usually pull at least two hundred hairs a day, I separate the roots till I have a considerable amount then just eat them. I have been doing this for years, too many to number. I have no body hair fromm pulling so much and everybody thinks I'm bald.

Thanks for talking about this

Dang I thought I was the only person to do this. I thought it was my anxiety causing this problem . Removing the hair Is satisfying until my eye lids are bald 😢

I think I was about 8 or 9 yrs old when I started pulling out my eyelashes. I also would bite my fingernails and pull off the dead skin around my cuticles on my fingers 😖😥 I have found out my issues was because of a traumatic daily/nightly horrible childhood! I have major depression and generalized anxiety disorder and also ADHD and OCD. I am now 50 yrs old and I go through periods of not pulling also. It's easy to stop when I'm happy in a loving relationship. But now I'm older and I KNOW that REAL love between a man and woman does NOT exist, it's all about what kinda shit you wanna put up with from someone!!! I've been hurt every single time I was involved with a man so I'm DONE!!!!!! Lol I'm ok alone I am not really "alone" I have kids at home still but it's not the same as having a loving relationship with a man ... All the good ones are either taken or .. dead .. or lost lol 🤣👌 I just deal with bald eyelids now. I wear eyeliner if I have to go anywhere. Sad life .. I try to make myself stop when I notice I'm doing it .. I have actually had to sit on my hands then I made myself get up and go cook or do laundry .. do something with my hands so they stay busy or otherwise if I sit down and scroll thru fb or youtube I'm gonna pull out all my lashes ... Get busy doing something around the house or go drive ...

i’m a guy i’ve been pulling for about 4 years now but i won’t stop it’s so annoying

my trich started during quaratine ☹️ i still feel hopeless idk what to do

Ok so I am 11 and I have been pulling out my eyelashes and eyebrows for 3 years now and it’s so hard to stop and I would go for a long time then I would have none the next day me and my mom try to stop me but it’s SO HARD and now ik I am not alone

I am 45 and have been pulling out my eyebrows and eyelashes since I was about 10 or 11. When I first started I would pull out my actual hair as well, but for the most part I don't do much of that anymore. I paint on my eyebrows but I have never worn false lashes. I think I like that little tickle of pain when the hair comes out and its usually triggered more with stress however I went like a year without doing it and then relapsed. And yes acrylic nails do help...I want to get them done again and maybe have someone put false lashes on for me...hopefully that will help...who knows...I have been doing it soo long that it probably won't matter.

Help my eyelids are bald I look so ugly 😢 I need to stop pulling them out forever

Hi I always pull my hair .. now I don't have eyelashes and eyebrows I couldn't control .. I tried and tried but I failed.. what to do?

THIS IS ME

It seems like pulling eyelashes is more common than pulling hair

My eyes were bald now , i started it when i was 13 and now im 15 . Its because of quarantine 🥺🥺🥺

Nothing works

I have pulled all my top out... I've had to wear fake now day's. It's horrible

How long have you had trich? Do they always regrow?? :) thx!!

this video is super sweet! i just uploaded a video about my trichotillomania so im glad there are others out here doing the same (: good luck

Omggggg I’ve been pulling since 3rd grade I will be 37 soon. Thank God for micro blading and false lashes oh yeah and my hair units lol

Ive been having this disorder for so long. Ive been trying to stop and i think ive made a bit of a progress on that. Now looking at my right eyelashes, i felt really insecure because anybody could really see how uneven my eyelashes are. I need tips on how to fix that😢 my right eyelashes are luke ziqzaq, theres short ones and long ones i thought i just need to wait for the short ones to grow but its been 2 months and theyre still the same…and i also pluck out my left eyelashes because of it and now my left eyelashes have a bald spot. Please help😢

I started doing this 1-2 months but its so bad my whole eye is hairless and im saddd
