Hi dear,
what ever you described is suggestive of that you are suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder.
There are two methods by which OCD improved.
1. medication like SSRI (selective serotonin re uptake inhibitor) and benzodiazepins to relieve anxiety features appear due to obsession.
2. psychotherapy in the form of behaviour modification and exposure and response therapy helps you a lot.
combination of both gives you best result.
consult psychiatrist for best counselling and medication .
Thank you
