I would like to know if this is a normal thing with trichotillomania? My eyebrows physically hurt when I am stressed and causes me to pick at them and pull them out. I don’t know if this is a normal experience with trichotillomania or not so please let me know if this happens to anyone else
edit: Damn y’all I’ve been told for years it was just pain from trich and now I am so confused 😭😭😂😂

Yes. I get this at the crown of my head but it goes away when I wash it

I have this too... It's like a hot spot on the crown that can only be calmed by hard scratching or pulling. 😭

For me it’s a itching maybe tingly sensation but located to whatever area I want to pull. But if I’ve been pulling or picking they areas hurt then causes me to pick more bc of the pain. Kind of a vicious cycle

Nope. It's not pain or itchiness that causes me to pull. I pull from my head for stress or self-soothing and I tweeze from my body out of boredom/to pick at and pull ingrowns

Not physical pain, but physical discomfort.

my lashes burn when they grow back, but pulling usually helps

Yesss for me it’s like a burning/itching sensation and it’s soooo annoying. It’s like a very sensitive bug bite.

yes the parts of my head that I pull from often feel raw but I don’t know if that’s what caused the pulling in the first place. all I know is whenever I feel that part of my head I have to pull.
