This disease is very rare and I am pretty sure you do not have it... check out the link. Anyway, you should probably take some meds, but it seems like it is just a habit, like biting your nails. Meds wise I reccomend cannibus, it will relax you and it is all natural. However, this is illegal in most states, accept that hippy libral CA. the other thing you can do is give yourself negative and positive reinforcement... like a dog. Everytime you start to pull your lashes hit yourself in the face with a brick. Everytime you go like 3 hours without pulling, your lashes, then you get to masterbate. If you can't go that long without masterbating then find a different way to reward yourself, like strangle a hooker or something. Good luck.

An eyelash curler should not be pulling out our lashes. A lot of curlers are shaped differently because obviously everyone has different eye shapes. Yours most likely is either too short or too curved which is why your inner and outer lashes are getting snagged. It's going to be a bit of trial and error but once you find the right one you're going to know because your lashes will curl beautifully and effortlessly. I suggest going to sephora to check many brands at once. The ones that are most popular is Shu Uemura, Tarte, and yes Shiseido. Sephora also has the mini eyelash curlers that you can curl a little section at a time which offers more control because you can curl less on the inner corner but more on the outer corner for a cat eye look. Hope this helps and good luck =)

I have trichotillomania and based on what you are saying, it certainly does sound like you do, too. Definitely talk to your doctor! There's lots of meds out there you can try. I haven't had any luck with them but I do know that some people have. The best thing for me was Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. It didn't work completely, but it cut down my pulling tremendously!

You need to see a doctor--absolutely. Eyelashes are there to protect your eyes. You have to stop pulling them out before you get a terrible infection. You could lose your sight.
