Do I Have Trichotillomania? Need Advice

I feel like I might have Trichotillomania. Since I can remember I've always picked hairs out of my head, eyebrows, and eyelashes. I don't pick to the point where there's no hair left or I have bald spots, but it's something I do multiple times a day. I do it when I'm nervous or when I'm bored or even just sitting watching TV . Sometimes I know that I'm doing it and other times I don't. Does anyone else do this?

I do something similar but instead of hair it’s skin on my lips. Best way I stop myself from picking my lips is usually using fidgets or anything that can keep my hands busy
