Weird...and not good

i'm addicted to pulling out my eyelashes....anyone got tips on how to NOT be addicted to that?

Oh NO! That's a gateway addiction! Pretty soon you'll be pulling out NOSE HAIRS! We can't be having that.

You could put snow gloves on. Try pulling them out then.

Hmmm.... eye lashes......... Perhaps a cookie would help?

perris i say burn them off, then when you get really tired of draweing them and yuou are lucky enough to grow them back you will stop lol. it worked for a friend of mine.

Is it as weird as having to leave a room and come back in if you forgot to enter with your right foot? How about touching the floor three times when you go into a room or place you've never been in before?

This sounds like mild OCD. As a former poster child for the national Obsessive Compulsive Disorder Association I know exactly what you mean. You can't stop it but you can replace it with a less damaging habit. You're hardly alone with this dilemma and people that don't have it don't understand.

Is this the only thing you 'must' do or is there anything else you can think of? Have you read about David Sedaris' difficulty with OCD? It's hilarious but at the same time so true and I laughed with him not at him. I'm only trying to figure out if it's a mild or severe case before I make some suggestions.

p.s. Your student properly addresses you as Master irrespective of your rank.

it started after i had my eye infection. I had to pull out lashes to keep the infection from spreading...then i got addicted to it. The only other thing i HAVE to do...is you know when someone's clothing is flipped up. like the edge of their sleeve, or the bottom of their shirt...it's not a big deal but i can spot it from a mile away and have to fix it. It's gotten so bad that i do it to total strangers now. People just passing by...but that's not dangerous. It's just kinda funny and i don't know why i need to fix clothing..but the eyelash thing...i DID pull um all out of one eye once...and i still do it.

what was the ps for?

dont know about that but i pull on my lips when im bored

Well, a way to prevent infants from sucking their thumbs is to smear bad tasting liquid on their thumbs....
You should probably get some acid and smear it on you eyelashes so your fingers will burn if they touch them

Good luck

cut the fingers off then you wont be able to pull eye lashes
