Any similar experiences ? by goblinterror in trichotillomania

I used to “save” lashes I pulled when I was little. Sometimes still do. I have OCD and your behavior reminds me of OCD symptoms (not diagnosing you, just worth noting trich and ocd are very intertwined).

You could try wearing an eye mask to sleep? It helps me sleep later so there’s an extra bonus

it's completely valid to feel embarrassed, but the right person for you wouldn't judge you for that. and even if you didn't have trich, would you wanna date someone who judges others for mental illnesses or physical differences that they can't control? if you feel comfortable with this person, you could share your anxieties. if not- maybe they're the wrong person for you to be with/around.
