I do exactly the same. I don't know what it is. I've never been diagnosed with OCD but I definitely have obsessive thoughts. I'm also obsessive about cleaning- I put off doing it for as long as possible because when I start I become obsessed with things like reaching all the corners etc. So I suppose I have a ocd tendencies.
Recently I was at a conference where a researcher in behaviour declared that most of the time most people have no thoughts in their head- a blank mind, he called it. I was astonished. I'm NEVER free of thoughts- I'm constantly thinking of a million things an arguing with myself... It would be interesting to know whether other people do have blank periods.
I have also read that this sort of crowded mind- constant stream of thoughts, is often associated with bipolar depression.
