Obsessive compulsive disorder
I am constantly repeating the name of a person in my mind and sometimes say it outside. I feel that name is impure and when it comes on my mind i feel everything is impure. This is the name of person who i was sexual with in the past and regret it as in how could i be with such person.
His name keeps popping up and i dont even want to write his name on keyboard as i feel my phone will become impure if i write his name. I have such disgusted feelings towards that person like why was i with him in the first place. I don't even like him. Its pure disgust that i was sexual with him. I wrote his name on paper and burnt it number of times. Because of this i have to keep repeating his name letter by letter and say the entire name and say he's done and this name keeps repeating on my mind everyday and sometimes i say it out and repeat it.
How can i take away this dirty name of the person on my mind. The only reason i am not writing the name because i dont want that persons name on phone.
