Suppose I did some action and while I am doing that action a bad thought or image comes in my mind , then I will keep repeating that action until I replace that negative thought with a positive thought or image.

Hi there, There is always a need to take the detailed history and mental status examination for coming to a conclusion. But still based on some of the history you mentioned, it appears to be OCD related disorder. But generally the thoughts and images come before the action.And there is anxiety generated with the thoughts and gets relieved by the actions.

So detailed history and examination is needed. Get the advice from a mental health professional.
