Hello,
Your symptoms need more through interviewing. It reflecs both components of anxiety and obsession disorder. Please visit a doctor & get yourself evaluated. At your age there can be several possiblities behind such thoughts and one need to be careful while starting drugs.
However, with proper meds you will have great benefit- your mind will relax, the disturbing thoughts will reduce and daydreaming and unnecessary planning will end.
The treatment durtion usually last from 6months to one year for complete recovery ; however, there can be case to case variation.
One thing is certain that without meds this will increase further.
Wish you good luck.
Please ask your parents to look into the matter more seriously and take you to psychiatrist.
