since i was 14 i started to pick off my eyebrows whenever i felt nervous, irritable or in a bad mood. i can't stop and i'm 34 now. i'm married and i look horrible without eyebrow pencil. i'm afraid my husband will hate me as time goes on. he lives with it now but what about tomorrow especially that he doesn't know i'm the reason. i have to stop as the hair doesn't grow as before. Please tell me what i should do and if there's special medication and if not can i re-plant them as hair plantation. i beg you help me save my marriage and my confidence. my daughter (4 years) started to wonder why i don't have hair in my eyebrows and i don't her to see using their pencil and feel that i'm upnormal or something. i'll be terribly grateful is someone can help me especially through his experience.

yes i am sure there is some medication to help you with that. do not know what they would catagorize it under though but im sure there is something. make an appt with your family dr and explain to him/her your situation. you will be able to get help from there.

First---calm down. Think about what you're saying here. You pull your eyebrows out when you get nervous. Ok. And you have to wear eyebrow pencil. Ok.
Why do you think your husband is going to hate you? And why especially tomorrow? You've been married a while, yes? And you've been doing this for 20 years, yes? I just don't understand why you think your husband is going to hate you and leave you?
See----you are so stressed out for NO REASON and this causes you to pull out your eyes brows. This is NOT a reason for your marriage to be over. Come on!
You need to see a counselor. As soon as possible. Don't say you can't. Because that's baloney. You have to. You have no self-esteem, pulling out your eyebrows is called "self harming" and you feel very guilty. For what? I don't know. That's why you need to see a counselor.
Your husband is NOT going to leave you because you don't have eyebrows. So quit thinking that.
The counselor will help you to STOP pulling the eyebrows. Then you can go to a dermatologist to see how to get them back.

This is a problem you and doctor should sit down and discuss. Medication is one one to deal with unhealthy coping mechanisms but therapy usually is more effective and permanent.
By telling your husband you have finally decided to do something about it may help him to support you in your decision to get help.
Hey I had a similar problem and only recently was able to overcome it (I was successful!) and I am 45.

There might be medicines or treatments you can use. But, Hoppy, I wouldn't worry about it. If your husband loves you, he's not going to worry about the eyebrows.
