Hi
I would say don’t label it OCD just because you’re overthinking. Stress and anxiety can create a very active mind.
When you notice the thoughts, try not to argue with or solve every thought. Say to yourself, “I’m having an anxious thought; I don’t need to figure this out right now,” and return your attention to what you were doing.
If the thoughts feel repetitive, intrusive, uncontrollable, or you feel compelled to check, seek reassurance, analyse, or perform certain behaviours to reduce anxiety, then it’s worth getting assessed for OCD.
Take therapy. You can connect with me on nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
