It's called "Trichotillomania". It's an impulse disorder and can be psychological and/or stress related. People pull not only their eye lashes but also the hair on their heads, body, pubes, etc. I recommend you see someone so you can be evaluated and treated.

You have an impulsive disorder. I have seen this on talk shows. People will pull out their hair on their scalp, their eyebrows and eyelashes. I interned with a girl whose friend had some baldness because she would just pull out her hair from the top of her scalp. It's called Trichotillomania. I would say you probably need to go to the doctor. You will probably need some form of counseling and medication since it is kinda like OCD.

Believe it or not, it is not considered an unusual malady. Obsessive compulsive disorders are treated best by a combination of behavioral modification and medication. It is NOT a character flaw, and you are not crazy. Ask youir MD for a referral to aither a psychologist or maybe he is sensitive enough and knows about the newer meds of OCDs.

Research this-trichotillomania. It is a disorder where people pull their hair out, including eyelashes. See a doctor. Medication can help.

oh my gosh I did that exact same thing when i was in 4th grade and made my parents and teacher upset but I couldn't help it and in junior high it was pulling my hair. I still can't stop I think it is trichotillomania. If you go to the doctor's they can give you a prescription for it and help control it.

Theres an actual disorder called trichtomania or something along those lines... Its a sub disorder of Obsessive compulsive disorder and should be dealt with by a health care professional, but youre not crazy.

It sounds like a mental disorder. I would talk to your doctor and maybe he or she can help you find a suitable pshyciatrist for you so that they can help you to break the habit and get you through whatever is causing you to continue such a self destructive behavior.

I went through this phase a few months ago and kept pulling my eyelashes out. I stopped wearing mascera and I quit. I was really stressed out when I did that too. But I don't do it anymore.

It's a compulsive behavior born out of stress and anxiety.
