So I have been making really good progress with not pulling out my eyelashes and I got really optimistic and was hoping I would have my lashes back by mid January. I thought the only reason I wouldn't reach this goal was just that I might relapse a little and it would just take longer. But I haven't really relapsed and I'm finding that my eyelashes have just looked the same for a couple weeks.
Maybe I'm just so anxious to have them back that I feel like it is taking longer than it actually is. I'm hoping that I will just get a wave of a lot of hair growth all of a sudden. I feel like that has happened before...that no hairs are growing back and then all of a sudden a bunch start growing in at once.
I just worry that I have done permanent damage and maybe I will never have all my eyelashes back. :(
Does this happen to anyone? That you go a while being pull free and there are just lengths of time where you feel like nothing is growing back, but then all of a sudden a lot grows back?

I like to use Rosemary essential oil to pat on bare areas with a Q-tip to stimulate or Lavender essential oil if there are sores present this helps with healing. I like Aloe vera too. Work on calming activities instead of worrying it'll help with overall well-being. Hugs..
