Hi, you need to meet a psychologist. This is a mental condition which needs to be properly diagnosed. The prognosis of the condition is good if diagnosed and treated properly. Therapies can help in such cases. Also it's likely to intensify with stress so you need to work on your coping mechanisms as well.
