I do have a problem ruminating and I didn't know that was OCD. Worrying does something's give me an upset stomach so that I lose my appetite. And right now I'm really depressed because the house is really dirty and I can't clean it as fast as soemone else gets it dirty.
The thing about not having a girlfriend is hard because worrying about it makes it harder to get and keep a girlfriend. It's nothing to be ashamed of. It's better to be alone than with the wrong person, so Inhope you find someone suitable eventually and try not to rush into anything. People who have relationships just for the sake of having it, often end up very unhappy or exploited. I hope you find the right person soon.

Returning to disinfect stuff sounds like classic OCD, but the ruminating alone without rituals is Pure O.
Ruminating over and over and just plain worrying can be unsettling, yes. The upset stomach and/or indigestion that I get often happens when I keep ruminating.
It is true that it can be a bad cycle, rumination leads to having a depressed attitude and it makes it hard in dating. It just hurts each time I think about it, and then I think about it more an analyse it again. Thinking of how up to now I am basically behind everyone else. I ruminate about it, and then I fall more into depression. More indigestion. It is a pain.
