Obsessions: Obsession can be ways to manage anxiety and take you away from the root cause of your problem. Take with friends about what is troubling you, if these discussions do not help consult with a mental health professional who specializes in treating anxiety as psychotherapy can be very helpful in lessening obsessive tendencies. Best.

Get help: There is not a simple solution to overcoming ocd. Find a therapist who specializes in ocd and start working on overcoming the symptoms. You may want to consult with a psychiatrist about medication if the ocd is severe. Behavioral techniques can be helpful in combination with insight oriented work. Good luck, but it will take time, don't be discouraged.
