I also struggle with OCD. Have for 2 decades now.
It's easily the #1 thing I struggle with more than anything (repetitive thoughts to be precise) and it's a pain in the *.

if you live in one of the states that allow it, consider looking at CBD oil. my co-worker who describes symptoms like yours and has been taking anxiety medication for years due to a TBI discovered it recently and called it a revelation.
Lately I've been struggling with what they call inflated responsibility. I typically ruminate that something I said, something I did, or something I did not say or do will have some large negative effect on some or something and that I will be responsible for it. It's immensely stressful to worry about.
I'm seeing a therapist to work on my issues.
