Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries
I can understand your concern. You are 20 years old female and have symptoms like imagining negative things. These things are occurring regularly and are persisting despite many attempts to control them. These things are causing distress to you and has resulted in severe distress to your life. These weird thoughts are occurring most likely due to obsessive ideas and need proper evaluation. Abnormal intrusive, repetitive, purposeless thoughts which dominate mind despite individuals awareness that these are baseless are most likely obsessive thoughts.
Try to relax yourself and try relaxation exercises, progressive muscle relaxation exercises, breathing exercises which will help you to control these unwanted thoughts. Abnormal thoughts and obsessive ideas also respond to behaviour therapy especially thought stopping technique. Please take help of a psychologist for details.
Medicines like SSRIs are drug of choice for OC symptoms. Please don't hesitate to visit a psychiatrist for help. These drugs will control these unwanted thoughts and you will feel better.
Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
