Trying to forget or suppress an obsessional thought is ineffective. You should benefit from pharmacological treatment or Psychotherapy (exposure and response prevention) for OCD.

Next Steps

Consult a Psychiatrist for proper diagnosis and treatment.

Obsessions are difficult to get over on your own. It is good you are reaching out. Consult a psychiatrist. Ocd needs treatment as it only increases without help.
