about

I'm burningXstar (feel free to shorten that to any name you like!) i'm a student living in the UK, and as well as having a very mixed up life, I do enjoy trying to help others with their problems and woes in return for everyone elses much appreciated advice =)

I try to help people as best as I can, most of my advice is through personal experience, and experiences I have learnt through people around me. I consider myself to be a good listener, and tend to pick up on lots of little details, so hopefully this will also help me to answer any questions! I also study biology so if relevant I will use scientific data to back up any questions. However there are always going to be some things I honestly know nothing about! I will not give half hearted answers to these questions! Therefore I will only answer questions I can put all my knowledge and effort into.

My realm of topics still varies, hence why I haven't listed any "main catagories". But if you have any questions feel free to ask me for any advice and I promise I will reply! =)

advice

i pull out my eyebrows, and eyelashes, but right now it's msotly my eyebrows. its supposedly a disease linked to OCD, but my mom claims i dont have it. ive been battling this for 5 years, it lowers my self esteem, and i'm pretty positive i have it. my eyebrows, they have like patches without hair, so i like color them in i guess with thick eyeliner pencil, so it doesn't look ridiculously fake, but still it's weird. please don't judge me for this, its something i REALLY want to overcome, but how? i want to gain confidence and live my life *with* eyelashes and eyebrows, and not having to worry.

I understand your problem, I always find myself unconsciously tugging out my eyebrows for no apparent reason - if it is seriously worrying you and becoming an everyday problem you can't ignore you may be best in seeking a doctors advise. Is there any trigger that sets off the hair pulling? Children normally pull at their hair when they find they are stressed, I find my hands always need to be doing something and its become an unconsious reaction... if you perservere hard enough and concentrate on what you want to acheive - confidence and the power to say no to your hands moving near your hair! If you really believe you need some expert help see your doctor, but ultimately you need to think about the reasons and situations in which you induldge in this behaviour and how you can help yourself to stop it.
Good luck!
