Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hello,
The symptoms point towards possibility of having OCD.

Please see a psychiatrist in person, he will interview you in detail to pin point the diagnosis. Undetected and untreated this will persist and increase.

Had i been treating you, i would have given you clomipramine 25-100mg daily at night along with therapy session for thought stopping and ERP.

Both meds and therapy are essential for complete cure of this illness.

Wish you good luck.
