Can't let it go

I have really bad OCD and find that I can't let thoughts go, even with things that happened years ago.  I'm so tired of feeling this way.  I need constant reassurance about everything.  For example, today I became obsessed with finding out how long yahoo keeps their search histories.  Could not let it go.  It's always something.  Help me

Hi there....you have reached the breaking point it seems of dealing with these irrational thoughts.  Not letting go is the hallmark of OCD.  We can torture ourselves forever it seems all due to a pesky neurotransmitter imbalance in our brains.  Time to see a psychologist.  You need to learn cognitive behavioral therapy.  Is seeing a psychologist a possibility for you?
