OCD and Depression
I think i have OCD, i am an IT engineer doing PhD, I keep
thinking about any and everything, I cant stop it, recently i found myself
talking loudly with myself. I asked a girl out and she said no, it broke my
heart, now I have started crying anytime with hardly any control. I think its
loneliness. I have suicidal thoughts many days, Somedays I am afraid to go home,
once i enter a thought pattern i dont know what will i do after it, many days i
keep looking at my parents photos to survive. I have always been a deep thinker
, i used to think its under my control but now am realizing its not, please let
me know what should i do.

Please get yourself assessed in detail by a Psychiatrist to figure out what exactly the problem. Your symptoms appear to be predominantly those seen in depression, but depression and OCD have a significant comorbidity. Having suicidal thoughts is an indication that the problem is quite serious and requires urgent attention. Please seek professional treatment at the earliest; don't wait to feel worse.
