You might have what is called trichotillomania. It is a compulsive behavioral disorder associated with pulling out hair, eyebrows, eyelashes, etc... I used to have it when I was younger, but have since overcome it. Try looking it up on google, there's lots of helpful information.

It's called trichotillomania.
Trichotillomania (TTM) is an impulse disorder that causes people to pull out the hair from their scalp, eyelashes, eyebrows, or other parts of the body, resulting in noticeable bald patches. It is currently defined as an impulse-control disorder, but there are still questions about how it should be classified. It may seem, at times, to resemble a habit, an addiction, a tic disorder or an obsessive-compulsive disorder. It is estimated to affect one to two percent of the population, or four to eleven million Americans.

this is a psychological condition called trichel...something haha, maybe talk to your doctor about it to find something that may prevent you from doing it, i'm sure there is a medication, it is a common problem. some people pull out their eyebrows or even the hair on their head. the only time i personally do it is by accident when i'm trying to get mascara off lol, i hate it.

I do sometimes. It gets all itchy around my eyelashes and sometimes I lose eyebrow in the process of getting rid of the itch. Maybe it's just loose hairs.
