    • About Me

      I am a graduate student and part-time teacher currently living in a new city far from home. I've moved around a lot recently, and, although maybe this is making me a stronger and more outgoing person, being in a new place only makes me feel more shy and awkward. I want to stop pulling my hair out so that I can feel better about myself.

    • I’m With You

      From LindaI October 28

      Welcome to Daily Strength. I know it was very instrumental in my path to recovery. I too am an eyelash and eyebrow puller. You are not alone. There is nothing to be ashamed of. This is a condition that some of us fall victim to for whatever reason. I hope that you are kind to yourself and perhaps this will be a new chapter in your life; self-awareness and self-forgiveness.

    • Close Trichotillomania (Hair Pulling)
      Type: Trichotillomania

      I have been pulling my eyebrows and eyelashes out since I was 13 (I am 26 now). I also recently started pulling from my scalp. I pull when I am stressed, especially when I am doing school work. My pulling has gotten much worse in the past few years. I hate myself for pulling, and I constantly feel regret for doing it...which stresses me out even more. It's embarrassing, and I try to cover up my missing brows and lashes with makeup.
