Seek consultation: Obsessive thoughts usually have something to do with anxiety, and this might be true about your tendency to pick as well. It would be best to schedule a consultation with a psychologist, psychiatrist , or other mental health professional about your concerns; this practitioner can assist you in determining what the best kind of help would be.
