Ok for your eyelashes and eyebrows, don't worry they will grow back in a few weeks. It might seem like forever but it won't be. To fix your problem now though you might have to use a bit of makeup. I know guys are EW about makeup but for your eyebrows it would work. Try to find an eyebrow pencil close to the shade of your eyebrows and color in your eyebrows with the pencil where you are missing a lot of hair. For your eyelashes i would just leave them be because A) mascara would be WAY too easily noticed and B) i don't think you want to apply false eyelashes, which are a HUGE hassle. As for everything else try talking to your doctor and see if there is a cure or something and you should be good to go. GOOD LUCK!

are you seeing a psychiatrist? the great thing is they are like a therapist AND a medical doctor, so they can help you with ideas about dealing with your OCD and also with medical questions like the ones you're asking here about how to reverse your hair loss and stuff... your eyebrows will grow back for sure. just give it a little time. i don't know much about eyelashes, but i presume it would be the same... ask your doctor about vitamins or foods that might help the growing process. but until you consult a doctor, don't try any products or home remedies since it is dealing around your eyes-- it could be dangerous. if you're still dealing with the OCD and it is physically destructive and its obviously causing you stress, discomfort, and a growing lack of self confidence about the way you look and paranoia that it won't change, you should totally look into seeing a therapist. medication can be amazingly helpful too-- again, see your doctor. try talking to your regular physician first and they can recommend a psychiatrist if you don't already have one. i was really anti-medicine, but about a month after taking my anti-anxiety meds, my OCD activities just sort of diappeared. it was the first time since i was 4 or 5 years old that many hours of my day weren't consumed with performing desctructive repetitive tasks that I didn't even want to do but i couldn't control. i hope this is helpful. keep and open mind if you can, and keep asking questions and asking for support. one of the first things i learned is that admitting or facing "weakness" is SUCH a huge sign of strength.
good luck, dude.

eyelashes can take up to one year to regrow. you might not get them all back the only way to speed up the growth process is to stop touching and pulling them out
