I've read some theories that some people actually collect a yeasty like substance at the roots of hair follicles that causes discomfort and is relieved by the hair being pulled out. I think it might be true. There's a certain discomfort I get sometimes at the line of my lashes that only feels better if I pull out my eyelashes. According to this theory limiting carbohydrates can help. But, on the other hand, it also does seem stress related--particularly to a kind of worrying guilty stress--the stress that arises from feeling I've done something wrong and don't know how to turn it around or turn back

oh I like the tweazing! that's a really good idea.
actually - my daughter has had yeast problems since birth so it's interesting about that. I will look into controlling that better...it's so hard with young ones.
It's hard with anyone! I can't stay on an anti-yeast diet to save my life and I guess what makes it worse is that the people who tend to have problems with it often have the most unbearable cravings for what they shouldn't have. I can't imagine trying to negotiate that with a kid!
She's still pulling out all lashes and brows. My empathy. A habit I've fought with my whole life!
