I have an obsession with getting rid hair on my chin, knuckles, and between my eyebrows.
I know that sounds weird, but it's true. I absolutely cannot go five minutes of the day without feeling any of those areas for hair. I rub my knuckles on my bottom lip to feel for hairs, and feel my chin and eyebrows to make sure nothing is there. If I feel one little hair, I mess with it all day until I get home. It only gets worse from there.
I don't stop until the hair is gone, even if it means I have to dig into my skin with the tweezers and I start bleeding. I have a ton of scars on my chin from it, and a few on my knuckles. I'm starting to become scared because some hairs have come in on my neck, and I've had to dig for those, too. Luckily there are not scars, but I'm afraid of digging into a wrong spot one day and hurting myself.
I spend at least 1-2 hours a day plucking these hairs. Once I see one, I can't stop until all the mentioned areas are smooth. It drives me crazy if I can't do it for one day. I always feel like something is there and I have to check in the mirror. Sometimes I can convince myself that nothing is there and be alright for a few hours, though. My girlfriend gets annoyed by it. She constantly bats my hand to get me to stop, but I just go right back to what I was doing.
I don't know if that's considered OCD or not. I don't see my psychiatrist for another two weeks, and I'm not really sure he'd be the right person to talk to about it.
Can someone point me in the right direction?
