I've been off work since the end of August, it's now the end of November. The lack of working is playing with my brain in the worst way. I'm trying to stay sharp, doing puzzles, playing games, reading books, and writing. I can't say that what I write is all that scholarly, but I think it helps.
Since this blog is about my Trich, I will focus on that. My lower eyelashes are completely grown. I've tried mascara but it makes my eyes itch, and I want to pull. My top eyelid is another story, and much to my chagrin I have been pulling a lot. There are these annoying eyelashes, if I can describe them. They are really small, thick and itch like CRAZY! When I try to stop pulling, I usually end up focusing on the outside corners of my eyes, so that way if I pull, I pull the ones that aren't seen. I have also slid back into digging out small eyebrows that are just showing. I end up digging small holes in my face, resulting in scabs. Sometimes, I don't get the hair and have to wait for my skin to heal to get the hair out. A therapist on Facebook said, "as long as you are trying, you are in recovery." I like to think that I am trying, so I'm recovering. I know it's not going to be easy, but I just wish it wasn't so hard.
