I have been experiencing symptoms that seem like Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) since October 2025. I get repeated intrusive thoughts related to caste, where certain names or ideas keep coming into my mind in a loop every few seconds. To reduce the discomfort, I feel compelled to mentally “neutralize” or balance these thoughts by repeating or correcting them, and also by repeating actions like typing, searching, or doing daily tasks multiple times until it feels right. Over time, these thoughts have spread to people, objects, and everyday activities, making it hard to focus or complete tasks normally. Recently, it has become more intense, causing anger, frustration, and behaviors like deleting and rewriting repeatedly or even throwing away food while eating. These symptoms are affecting my daily life and taking a lot of time and mental energy.
