Obsessive thoughts: It's possible that you're experiencing obsessive thoughts, which may be part of the anxiety disorder of ocd. With these happening, making decisions can become very difficult to impossible. You can get help by working with a psychiatrist or psychologist for diagnostic evaluation, and go from there. Treatment is often with a combination of medications and talk therapies.
