I cannot stop pulling my hair out

As the title says really, I've had anxiety and OCD for many years, just recently I feel more anxious then I have for a long time and I cannot stop pulling my hair out. I know I shouldn't do it but I just can't stop myself. I'm starting to get bald spots where I've pulled at it. What can I do to make this stop.

Have you been to your GP? They can help you find support like therapy. High anxiety can also be treated with medication, have you tried any?

I've tried lots of medications and therapies over the years and I do make some progress initially and then I've been known to have many relapses and the cycle repeats.
