Trichotillomania


Without realizing it, I am at it again. My thumb and ring finger are tearing at my eyebrows. Brow by brow I am taking away thoughts of failures, problems within myself. I want to stop but I start to enjoy it. It soothes me for the time being until I realize the damage that I am doing to my face. I feel embarrassed once it’s done. I am Trichotillomania.
