Brief Answer:
It could be OCD
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your query and understand your concerns.
From the available description I do not think you have simple stress. It is possible that all started with stress but over time it resulted in development of obsession at the pathological level needing treatment.
I must inform that due to poor awareness about mental conditions many people suffer in silence without getting help. The same is applicable in your case.
I must inform you that treatment is possible for large extent. You will need to see a psychiatrist who will ask some questions and may run some laboratory tests. Following this he may offer you either psychotherapy or medication.
Before you can do this I will advice you to start Pranayam yoga formanaging stress to some extent which is likely to help you.
I hope this answers you.
If you have more questions feel free to write back to me.
Thanks and regards.
