Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hi,

From what you have mentioned you seem to be having obsessions in form of the repeated thoughts of having a positive thought while doing work and in turn having the compulsive behavior to do it again and again till you get the positive thought. This is part of a disorder known as Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). You might also have other obsessions regarding dirt and doubts which will need complete evaluation.

You should consult a psychiatrist and initiate treatment. Medications like fluvoxamine are effective for OCD. In addition, treatment with behavior therapy in form of exposure and response prevention would be highly helpful.

I do hope that I was able to answer your query. Best wishes.
