Why does a thought linger even when I know I'll never at on it?
I have had this intrusive thought for awhile now, it concerns a particular word that for some reason my mind wants me to just say, it doesn't seem to care how I say it just that I say it, in public. But I never will and my mind know this. So why won't the thought go away?

Hey there, I can understand how difficult this might be, that is understandable. Though I don't know your exact situation, does it seem possible that it could be tying into OCD a little bit? I am not sure if you have considered talking to a counselor or therapist, but that could be an option if this has been really difficult on you, stressful, or exhausting to go through. Here is also some info in case it might help you a little more on the topic, I find the guides out here amazingly helpful (for both anxiety and OCD):
