will my eyelashes grow back

Idk if this has been mentioned in a previous comment or not but I really dontt have the patience to look through. You could have a compulsive disordder called trichotillomania. Its kinda like ocd to pull out hair. I have a friend who suffered with this and was often embarassed and ashamed to go out in public because she had many bald spots due to it. However she has gotten better with counseling.
Also I pull out my eyelashes too. Most of the time I don't even realize I'm doing it.

I'm a 35 guy and I found I was pulling at my eyelashes and eyebrows about 4 years ago, when I started a new and fairly stressful job (but one which I liked nonetheless, because it was interesting and challenging). I no longer work at that company, having decided to take a career break. I'm now living a stress-free life, doing a lot of sport, and liking it a lot! But I still find myself flicking my eyelashes with my finger, mainly when I'm concentrating hard on something. I can see my right eyelashes have a slightly odd gap in the middle, due to my past few years of pulling and flicking. I never realised it was a medical disorder! But I'm convinced it's something that can be stopped through force of will, so I've resolved from now on to squeeze my wrist whenever I feel the urge to touch my eyelashes. Taking anti-depressants seems a bit over-the-top - I've no doubt I'm depressed, and have been for a while, but I've accepted it and although I wouldn't say I'm at peace with it, I have no inclination to do anything about it. And actually I think people with OCD are kind of cool - my mum is a horder, and my girlfriend (like me) enjoys cataloguing things a bit too much. Perhaps we find other OCD-ers subconsciously more attractive, although it's not something you discover about someone immediately. Anyway, this board was helpful in that it's told me that I have a recognised problem re. eyelash-plucking, and I'm hoping by writing this post it'll stick more firmly in my mind, making it more likely I'll kick the habit. Good luck to everyone else out there, it seems we're not alone!

im 10 years old now i dont now how to stop im going to my grammas house at the end of march then to merrit to see my family and i have still pulled them from 2012 now it 2013 please tell me what to do my mom was crying she had to show me she does not know im on here but please tell me im trying so hard to stop;( AND YES YOUR EYE LASHES GROW BACK SO DONT WORRY

it takes a long time they grow back

There are deffinitely a lot more people out there with this condition. First of all I've seen more postd where people say they don't grow back deff not true. I've pulled my eyelashes for 12 to 13 years and quitting is the hardest thing I've ever had to do. But there's times when ur quitting and you don't even realize it. Embrace those moment. When u wake up in the morning and see uve got a decent amount of stubs coming in look forward to having eyelashes and not having to spend the time to cover it up. That's what pulls u through. I haven't touched my eyelashes for 44 days and I'm 20 years old. And its the best feeling in the world. You have to be ready and when you are you'll quit. I no all about the self concious thing it sucks that people are so judgemental and worrying what people think causes us stress which pushes us back into our habits. I'm not great at giving advice but I hope this helps.

Hi,

It's very common problem dear and yes it's grow back.

The lashes that fell out will not grow back though if your body is still growing new eyelashes may start to grow and it's natural process eyelash falling out and regrow. so don't worry about it

 

I started pulling my eyelashes when i was seven and then i started again at 10. But 4 me they always grow bk so dont worry!!

You suck penis that's it.

That's the same for me with the trying to pull off the mascara thing, I barely have any lashes left, (If I'm lucky, there may be about 10 or so lashes on each eye) But I only have just realized how much of a problem it has really become :/

Mascara and the curler are not good for your lashes and should not be used on a daily basis. Also, always curl your lashes before applying mascara so you don't pull them out. I would suggest using Bare Minerals Buxom Lash Mascara when you absolutely feel that you need to use mascara, as it helps your lashes grow. The other thing I recommend, is applying Vaseline under your eyes and on your eyelids (rub it into your upper lash line) to help your lashes grow. Applying the Vaseline around your eyes will prevent formation of under eye circles in the future. I had the same situation; my lashes aren't exactly as awesome as they were before, but they are a lot fuller than they had gotten.

though I have tried many of the Latisse liquid, but those doesn't work and finally I got an trust on this product. it has really helped me to get my eyelashes so long and so thick, really happy. You can surely try this.

None of you guys are helping her by just stating the same thing over and over. How about beauty tips and tricks to conceal and help stop the pulling? I think that's the point right?

I'm 48 years old and i have same problem I pluck my eyebrows my hair on my head or any other hair on my body. It's something that I've dealt with all my life never met anybody that had the same problem until I met a friend about 20 years ago who also does the same thing but I never hear anyone on here mention what it is it's not just that you want to pluck or pull your hair or your eyelashes it also has a name and if you look up the name on the Internet it will answer all of your questions the name of what we have is called trichotillomania. All my life I never knew what I was going through actually had a name and that thousands of people suffered it to. Until I met my friends 20 years I never even talked about it to anyone. She wanted to start one of these websites for ppl to come talk.Back then I was to embarrassed to let anyone know. There is meds for it but I have never taken any. I have done well growing my hair back but every now and then I give in to the feeling.I have no eyelashes right now on my right eye and my left eye is calling me to pull on it. It's a struggle every day but we can find help in other who suffer the same thing. The worst for me growing up was not having this outlet. I suffered in silence. So I thank God I don't have to do that any more.

im 13 and I used to do it when I was 6, all I did was use a two week program I made up... the first week all I did was just keep my hands busy and I used to do sports and held my families hands a lot, the second week I hade gotten over it a little but just to make sure I kept my hands busy. while I kept my hands busy I usually put mascara on the part my eyelashes were missing and I made it a point not to touch my eyes at all.
