*pulls out so much eyelash and eyebrow it's not even funny*

back to wearing eyeliner for me

[lifeissotrichy]

I feel like I look like one of those edgy people who shave a part of their eyebrow except for that the tiny part left on the outside is almost gone so in reality I feel like I've plucked an entire section of my left eyebrow off go me!

push tug pull scratch pick rub take a look and see what you have done

[lifeissotrichy]

I thought I was getting better.

When it looks like you shaved a part of your eyebrow because you've plucked there so much

[lifeissotrichy]

So, I've actually been extremely stressed out, but somehow I haven't been pulling as much? Well, that's a lie--I've been picking at my eyebrows and am now having to fill them in some spots, but my eyelashes are still mostly intact!! Also, I did my eyebrows, and they look really good--personally I'm really proud. However, my camera is busted, so I actually can't show you guys progress pics anymore. Sorry, guys.

WOW!!!

50 followers!! Okay literally I just made this account as a space to vent my feelings and struggles with trich, but I am SO HAPPY that my words are reaching others and hopefully helping. I never thought that I would get ANY followers on this account (honestly, I wasn't really aiming for it either), much less FIFTY. I love each and every one of you, and just know that if any (and I mean ANY) of you are having trouble, you can message me and I'll try to respond as soon as possible. Wow, you guys--I'm literally astounded. Also, I'm really sorry for the lack in updates--I've been extremely busy, but I hope to be posting more soon. Plus, I think that now I'm also going to try to say the positives, not just the negatives, of my experiences, so that you guys can actually get to see more of me. Again, I love each and every one of you, and from the bottom of my heart, THANK YOU for clicking that follow button.

Today I almost started pulling in class-- good thing I had my glasses to stop me.

[lifeissotrichy]

hello guys.

I honestly had hoped to never have to come back here again, but here I am. My pulling had reduced slightly, and I had even kept a streak going for how many days I hadn't pulled, including this one. Today, though, I pulled at my eyebrows, and now the middle chunk of my left one is gone. It's literally gone. I had actually gotten my brows done in hopes that having them in a pretty shape would somehow refrain me from pulling, but no. This isn't the absolute worst feeling in the world, but it's definitely up there. To the few people who hadn't forgotten about me, here I am. I wish I could say I'm glad to be back here, but I'm honestly not. I'm sorry.

I think the one semi-perk of having trich is that you can literally pluck the hairs off your growing unibrow pretty easily but then you get that urge to keep plucking until your eyebrows are gone so is that really a perk at all??

[lifeissotrichy]

That moment when you have to put on a scarf so that you don't pull out your eyebrows because of all the stress you're facing

[lifeissotrichy]

My eyebrows are so ugly but why do I even care?

It’s like my eyebrows are on fire and the only way to snuff out the flames is to pluck each and every hair out.

[lifeissotrichy]

5:23 pm

I can’t stop anxiously stroking and picking at my eyebrows.

[lifeissotrichy]

Good news

I've gotten comfortable enough with how my eyebrows look not to fill them in for now!

Yesterday was horrible and I've pulled so much of my eyebrows why the hell did I do them again now spots are gone

Today I semi-did my eyebrows, which I think is a huge step for me. Let's just hope I don't ruin the shape any more by pulling
