I am a 70 year old woman I kind of pretty but I have a disorder called triccotomamania

Where I pull out my eye lashes and eyebrows

I do draw on the eyebrows very well and use a liner

But lately I feel so so ugly

And I have under eye bags

I focus too heavily on

I hope no one sees this ugliness I feel

Welcome to the community

You may be over focusing on the areas. I think we all do that.

Hold your head up high:)

Yes. I think we're often our own worst critics when it comes to our appearance.

It's really harder as we get older (I'm 60) to not focus on those physical changes. I'm trying to appreciate all my body can still do for me and not focus on the physical stuff.
