Hi everyone! I am new here. I started pulling in 4th grade when a family member was in a car wreck. I've had other tramatic events and pulling has always been my relief. There have been times I've stopped to get my eyelashes to grow back but I always relapse. I get so excited when they are long enough to wear mascara but once I start pulling again it really breaks my heart. I just want to be a girl who has long, beautiful eyelashes but I don't know how to get them to grow back thick and actually keep them. I would love to hear everyone's suggestions.

I've read that castor oil helps with growth. I use to use it but I can't stop pulling long enough to let it work.

Oh, well i suggest you try to use technology less then usally cuz u get distracted, have a lot of sleep, stop worrying and try Vaseline and the most important is try not to pull eyelashes and use make-up to cover it

Thank you for the tip Jen1234. I completely understand stopping long enough. Mine goes in bouts.

Piamia212 with work it's hard to not use technology. I try so hard not to pull though but it is definitely a struggle. Thanks for the tips!
