<p>The 44-year-old Newsroom star has been open in the past about struggling with the hair-pulling disorder, trichotillomania. According to the Mayo Clinic, the mental health condition "involves frequent, repeated and irresistible urges to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body."</p>
<p>In Munn, her trichotillomania presents itself as the pulling of her own eyelashes.</p>

<p>"There's a sensation. It's probably not even real, but I'll feel like, 'Oh, this eyelash feels like it's gonna come out,' even though it's not," Munn explained on the Monday, June 30 episode of the Armchair Expert with Dax Shepard podcast. "And then when you pull it, there was a quick second of pain. And then there's a satisfaction and then immediate regret."</p>
<p>Munn shared that the condition first presented itself when she was dating actor Chris Pine. The exes reportedly dated for several months in late 2009 into early 2010.</p>
<p>"So there was a paparazzi shot of he and I, and it was the first time I was in the tabloids," Munn recalled.</p>

<p>Munn said she was attending a small event and had asked the costume team on The Daily Show for "the ugliest dress" they had.</p>
<p>"They found this blue old prom dress with big pom poms on the side. And I was like, 'Oh, wonder if I can make it into the worst best dressed list?' " Munn said, laughing. "And then I did! I couldn't believe it worked. The fact that I was like, they know who I am to even put me on this list. It was very exciting."</p>
<p>At the time, Munn said she left Pine's apartment, noting, "There were paparazzi outside his house because he had been in Star Trek and all this. And they caught photos of me. I was like, 'Oh my god.' And when it got out, one of my friends was like, 'Hey, you're dating Chris Pine.' "</p>
<p>Munn said she then did the "horrible thing" of reading the comments on the images.</p>
<p>"And they were like, 'I think she set this up. Who's carrying a clutch during the day?' " Munn shared, noting, "That began my trichotillomania."</p>
