wr wb, Shuaib bhai, I'm fine by the grace of Allah SWT.

Regd. that relative of mine, Allah SWT made her go to an allopathic doctor.
I don't understand the OP's fear, OCD isn't rare, even David Beckham has it or had it at one point in time

P.S: by any chance are you Shoeb Momin from Bombay (changed your username)?

It definitely sounds like the OP has OCD. I believe up to 40 percent of the population suffers from some form, mild to extreme. I've had different degrees of it over my life
never escalating to anything serious. The important thing with this is to break the chain of your obsessive thoughts since they build on each other and also to recognize that your mind will act in ways that is sometimes beyond your control. Let it but don't identify with the negative thought. Once you stop identifying with the thought and recognize it's transient nature, these thoughts will start to dissipate. In fact, you're aware enough to understand that your thoughts are sometimes ridiculous, this is good, next time you have one, label it in your mind, that way instead of letting it dictate you, you have now dictated it and dismissed it. Interestingly, in the Thomas Cleary translation of the Quran, Satan, is translated as the obsessor. In buddhism, Mara, has the same function. The great news is that you have complete control over this, if you continue to remember your position of control. If this does not work please go get some professional help, the fact that you are breaking out in rashes indicates the degree of the situation. But again, don't think this makes you crazy, every human being is capable of letting their mind get the best of them. Good luck.
