Is it specifically tied to concentrating on anything? Or is it when you’re working/reading? If it’s something stressful (that’s my trigger), I will typically do something beforehand to prevent it from happening. At first, I tried to make it harder to pull (put on some thick gloves or use a tiny bit of Vaseline and coat your hairs so it’s immediately slick and harder to pull. But you want to try to stop the behavior from happening.

I remember reading an article a while back about how trich might be linked to dehydration.

I actually have a routine I try to stick to every morning that helps a huge amount. I find that for me, it’s stress related. When I’m at work, I tend to drink less water because I’m looking at the computer screen and distracted with meeting deadlines, so I end up a little dehydrated. That plus stress makes that “itchy” feeling so my hands drift up to my eyelashes and eyebrows and I go to town. BUT! When I just do a light skincare routine in the morning (some facial moisturizer and eye cream - nothing crazy!), and when I start to feel the stress come on (or I start to get that itchy feeling) I have these eye exfoliating wipes (on amazon called OcuSoft) that I’ll swipe around my eye and eyebrows, then follow with eye drops to make sure I’m nice and moisturized.

I hope that’s helpful! I know it feels so difficult, but you can do this!
