I pull all of my lashes/brows daily (have 0 at the end of the day)....and right now my brow re-growth is driving me NUTS!

I can't stop touching it and am desperately wishing I could get them out (I cut my nails this AM and am trying to resist my tweezers -which are about 2 seconds away from being used).

Even after 33 years of doing this, I still haven't given up....I haven't ever had a break from it, but I still have hope. It isn't going well and I so wish this URGE would go away....it is like my body can't find a happy equilibrium until the hairs are gone. Once they are gone, I can function -right now I am useless as I can't concentrate and can only think about pulling (and the sensation it will bring and all that good stuff)

Please make it STOP

I don't really need advice at this point (have tried everything), but sure could use a prayer if you have one to spare. I so desire freedom from this (even just for one day)!

" Everyone here knows how you feel. The desire to stop is so strong, except you still do it because you can't help it. It's frustrating. I'll pray for you, just stay strong and take it one day at a time. :D "
