I have been picking out my eyelashes for about 28 years or so. I am afraid they won't grow back. I have started picking out my eyebrows as well. I just learned today that this ugly thing has a name. It brought hope to know I wasn't the only one and I truly couldn't help it. I want to stop! I'd like to talk to anyone out there who's had permanent makeup done and how they feel about it. Look forward to getting to know you all! : )

Hi Connie - Just wanted to check in and see how everyone was doing. I needed a little break. Hope you are doing well. Faith
Thanks, I'll check out that website. I've seen their books.
I'm doing better now that I had an interview and a drug test..................Can feel the anxiety dissipating. Your prayers are working. I have to remember that God loves me even when I'm not strong and resourceful. Maybe some bigger work is taking place that I can't grasp.
Just read a book by Steven Baldwin (one of the famous Baldwin brothers in Hollywood)called The Unusual Suspect. He's a 'hardcore' born again Christian. He really tells it like it is. But he's only been converted for 3 years. Still, it's interesting to read because his fire is contageous.
When I stop feeling fear is when I can say I've finally made it.
As far as knowing what direction I want to go in, I haven't much clue................I'm such a survival mode type person that I don't narrow the field down much.
I actually had an interview at Publix for a cashier position which seemed pretty promising. I've heard they're a great company to work for, so even tho it starts out as part time, and you earn more hours, I am hopeful. My dad say's he will help me financially and I'm accepting. Amazing how being desperate knocks out so many perceptions of myself as 'strong' and 'independent'. I must humble myself and accept help where I can get it.
I have a hard time totally trusting in God..................My fear is pretty intense, but hopefully unfounded.
I seriously appreciate your prayers!!!
I just found out today that this problem has a name. I have struggled with pulling for approx 28 years. I've been able to overcome it at different points in my life, but right now it's worse than ever. I pull out my top/bottom lashes and my eyebrows. I also pick at my skin, but not as badly. I sing and I'm in sales, so it's really hard to be in front of people so much and be so self concious about it. I've always wondered if permanent cosmetics might help. I was afraid and couldn't afford it.
