Hello
Welcome here.
I can understand your concerns.
You have habit of eating raw rice which you are unable to control. You feel nervous if you dont eat raw rice.

I think your problem falls under spectrum of obsessive compulsive disorders. In this the person is unable to control his thoughts which are repetitive and he has follow these compulsively.

This habit of eating raw rice also be a symptom of pica. Get your hemoglobin levels checked to rule out iron deficiency anemia.

A consultation from your nearest psychiatrist would help you to reach exact diagnosis and proper treatment.

Hope this helps.
Thanks
