I'm new...
Submitted by LilRachel on Sat, 01/31/2009 - 05:55
I'm new to this whole...thing. Not new to my problem, but to actually seeking other people who have the same problem I do. I pull at my eyebrows and eyelashes on a daily basis, and I want to stop. I had looked at some website last week that listed a whole bunch of tips, even a catch-phrase "All hairs are good hairs". I did great the following days, as I constantly repeated the phrase in my head. Then, suddenly, I started pulling again. ARG! Now I look worse than ever. My right eye is about...98% eyelash-less (is that even a word?), my eyebrows are just pathetic. I'm extremely frustrated and I'm afraid that someone I know who doesn't know I have this problem is going to say something one day, and make me even more paranoid about showing myself in public. I can't use eyeliner, because I don't have enough eyelashes to form a sort of guideline for me to follow.
So...that's it. :-/ Oh, and HI!
Hi my name is bri I hve the
Hi my name is bri I hve the same problem you do except I pull out my hair too.
I have experienced symptoms
I have experienced symptoms for about 12 years now, and only recently did I also find out that this isn't something that I am alone with. I mostly pull out the hair on my head, in patches and it's really frustrating because as a teenager people some people are cruel and don't understand. Apart from my parents only two people in my life know what I have been struggling through, but none of them have experienced what I have so I thought it would be a good step to join a place where I can talk to other people and know that I'm not alone. I'm not sure if I will ever stop 100% but it's something that I really want to work on so I can stop worrying constantly of if my bald patches are showing and what people are saying about me. I feel very good to be in a non-judgemental and understanding environment. Hi everyone!
I too am new at this, same as
I too am new at this, same as you, not new to the problem, but new to help for it...for years ive thought I was the only one, then one day I found out a possible name for it and it was like christmas to realize that others suffered from the same ocd disorder. i am still active at breaking my hair and have a ritualistic regimen i go through with the hair before i discard it. I am a very successful 36 year old woman and i am so ashamed of my actions and try to hide it all of the time but the evidence is so visible. I wish you luck in your endeavor to seek help, just know that you are not alone:)
