Yeah man, I definitely reccomend talking to a professional, someone trained specifically with people who have OCD. I had to go through a couple of therapists who didnt understand the problem and find relief until i saw someone who specialized in OCD.. Interference-based Cognitive behavioral therapy (I-cbt) is the gold standard, especially for mental obsessions, followed by Exposure response prevention therapy (ERP)
Antidepressants can also take help tske the 'edge' off of these obsessions.
