Voices in my head possible ocd?

I have voiced in my head that say bad things to make like I will have some kind of disease or illness if I don't touch something sonny times. What would this be considered? I'm trying to ignore the thought and go about my day but sometimes it's really tough to ignore them what should I do to get my mind to stop saying these things? I know for one thing i need to quit listening to my mind and quit giving in to what it is saying any other suggestions?

    Okay, well. Are these intrusive thoughts, or are they hallucinations? That is -- are you simply thinking these things and you can't get the thought of them out of your head, or are you hearing actual voices of other people as though they're outside your head even when you're alone?

    If it's the first one, then yes, that's likely OCD. If it's the second one, then that sounds more like psychosis.

    Schizophrenia, not ocd. Try some lithium.
