Firstly don't ever allow a doctor to ignore you, they're getting paid big bucks for consultations and the like... don't give them the chance to be jerks.

Just try to resist the urge to itch/rub your eyes. It'll get easier with time. I used to have a habit of rubbing my eyes, but then I started wearing eye makeup and had to stop myself from smearing everything... And nowadays that urge is completely gone.

How did they all fall out?

It sounds like you have Trichotillomania...

It's a OCD related condition, with links to depression and anxiety.

I suffer with it, and actually pulled a large chunk of my own hair out when I was younger.

Do some research on this condition, there are forums out there... and see if you can get a better idea of the condition. If you do have Trich, then there are treatments, such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy available

I hope you are not allergic to the eye makeup you use. Discontinue using them and observe for a few days.
You may want to try eyelash growth products available in the market these days.
