I have trichotillomania

trichotillomania is a hair pulling behavioral disorder. I pull out all of my eyelashes. I was fine for a while but then I started pulling again. I have pretty much all of my left eye pulled out and a bit of my right eye is growing back. It all started when we bought a 2003 USED BMW and it would constantly break and have problems. That car is now gone , we have a reliable car but I can't stop playing with my lashes. It has really taken a toll but I can cover it up pretty well with eye liner. Otherwise Im good. Just wondering if anyone knows any treatments for this disorder or has any suggestions for how I can keep my hands busy

I actually had this disorder back in 2007 when I was on ENA and the way I would keep from picking my eyelashes was to post on ENA. It worked wonders for me. Now a lot of my old friends are not on ENA anymore so I have not been able to keep my hands glued to the keyboard to combat my trichotillomania . THanks for reading and responding.

Are you serious? I thought the point of this forum was to post

It is, but what help can we offer here? Realistically just our condolences for physical issues. There's no real advice to be had here that I can think of.
