    It sounds like OCD - I suffer from the same problem and I have to take 200 mg of Sertraline and might possibly have to augment with another drug.  I have also joined quite a few support groups in the local area and am trying CBT. You might very well manage on a much lower dose than this.

    Good luck.

    I’m not so sure about the intrusive thoughts but I know it helped me with my ocd and greatly helped with my ptsd. I’m pretty sure I’ll stay on this medication for as long as it keeps working.
