I used to overpluck/shave my eyebrows and now they are thin, uneven & haven't regrown in some places. What can I do? (Photo)

I started plucking my eyebrows without any problem before highschool, but as soon as highschool started, i felt more pressured each month about my appearance. I accidently started to overpluck without realizing it, soon they became thinner & thinner. I dated a guy for awhile but it didn't last due to abuse, so i felt in fault & shaved my eyebrows as a technique of self harm instead of cutting & such. Now my eyebrows are thin, uneven & won't regrow in some places, i've tried everything i knew.
