Hi, Glad you found our site and I hope the article was helpful. It isn't clear to me whether you were diagnosed with this disorder by a doctor or you just have come to realize this by searching the web. I would suggest you approach treating your situation by 1. Making sure there isn't something else medical at play causing your nausea and fatigue. 2. Seeking the help of an experienced practitioner who can diagnosis and treat your mental/emotional health.
In order to rule out any medical causes you need to see an internal medical doctor. He may decide to send you to a Gastoenterologist who can evaluate whether there is anything in your stomach/colon causing the nausea. Depending on your insurance, you may need to stay within your plan. Otherwise call your local hospital and see if they have physician referral service to help you find doctors to go to or get a recommendation from others you trust.
The website at the end of my article has a Provider link where you can search by state to find a Psych type doctor experienced in Trichotillomania at http://www.trich.org/treatment/treatment-provider.html
You want to only see someone who has experience with Trichotillomania so they understand how best to treat you. Good luck, let us know how it goes.
