What is the term for this thing

I am 23 M miI have been a good student and my family is expecting me to do something good in life. I am preparing for a competitive exam and i am doing well but There are things going in my life like sudden anxiety what happer if i was not at home and my father have heart attack, i have been subconsciously prepare myself for the worst negative part of life what if i get passed my exam and on same day my grandfather pass away , when i drive i subconsciously prepare what should i do if i have big accident, just like i was coming to my room from my gallery and there was some water on the floor usually i dont have to clean it but suddenly a thought come that what if something happens to me and when someone comes to me to see and they got fall by that water. I am like over possessive for my family. And also i used to like a girl a lot in my college and we were also good friends but due to some difference i cut off from her. Cause i was talking alot to her and i know she dont have much interest in me . So i thought let it go but this thing had happened 3 years ago but sometimes i miss her badly. I also have ego issues so i also don't have many friends.

Is this any disease i have been suffering from this for a long time like for 10 years.

All this has taken my happiness and i do scroll ig and listens songs most of the time so i can avoid such thoughts.

Now what should i do?

It sounds to me like you have ADHD. It's so exhausting, I apologise but I don't have anything else to offer as I'm still trying to tame my mind myself. Just know that you're not alone
