pulling eyebrows out

Post Reply New Topic

haha the title to this is quite odd but i did not know what else to call it. i was wondering if anyone has ever pulled all there eyebrows out.

it happened to me in the summer, i was off school for 4 weeks for the holidays and i just started pulling them out, i did not even really notice, until i was going back to school and had no eyebrows left, it was torture and i was bullied about it for 2 years.

i was wondering if anyone can give me some insight in why i might have done that, i still cant work it out. although i think it might have been not having anything to focus on because i was off school.

thanks, had not come accross this before, i certainly suffer from anxiety so it would make sense. although thankfully it was really a one time thing with my eyebrows, the bullying that came afterwards made sure i never did it again, i do sometimes have compulsions to do it though, but i try to distract myself.

I used to do that alot when I was younger. I still do it occasionally when I'm anxious, but I'm more likely now to pick at my facial hair.

Yes I do it too.
