I understand your situation. You seem to be suffering from one of the ocsd namely trichotillomania. However more clarity is needed regarding your problem to decide on the severity of your condition. It is easily manageable with appropriate treatment, so that dysfunction due to the same can be reduced and your quality of life will improve. Some counselling sessions along with medical help might be useful for you. You would definitely benefit from a psychiatric consultation. I would also be more than happy to help you with that if you are looking for online assistance. Discussions will be held confidential. You can directly consult with me through Practo as needed. Online chat consultation is available.
