Bad Habits. What could this be? Depression? Anxiety? OCD? ADHD?

I tend to hum a lot. No, I'm not referring to a tune or any melody stuck in my head. I do a monotonous humming noise very often that mimics nothing I've ever heard. Sometimes it occurs more when I'm anxious and other times there are no clear reasons behind it. I often get lost in thought and daydream. I have seriously bad trouble with paying attention but I do well in school. I also rub my hands up and down the thigh of my pants in class because I know that I can't hum and it's the only relief I can afford at the moment. The noise caused by this friction still annoys my classmates. I bounce my leg up and down frequently as well or shake my foot. I bite the skin off my lips and the inside of my cheeks and lips. I have an uncontrollable urge to pull out my eyelashes and eyebrows. I also pick at my skin and can't help but to push and squeeze at blemishes. I know it's bad but I can't stop myself and it just makes me upset and have a stronger urge to pull and pick. I also have other tendencies that require specific orders and patterns but I'll save you guys the boredom. I have severe mood swings and often feel numb or empty. I'm confused and don't know what to do.
