You are suffering from obsessive compulsive disorder. There are repetitive thoughts due to which anxiety increases and causes one to perform compulsion that is repetitive checking washing etc. This occurs due to a neurotransmitter imbalance inside the brain. There is treatment for the same and it can be made better. Kindly consult a psychiatrist in your area or you can consult me in private for further help.
