Hello,

You condition is called trichophagia, which is closely related to trichotillomania. Its an obsessive compulsive disorder. Get medical help as soon as possible. You can consider consulting a psychiatrist.

Meanwhile engage in stress free activities, like spending time with your friends.

Thank you
