Is what the questioner feels—a weakness toward falling into the sin of speaking with young men out of lust—considered an obsessive-compulsive disorder? Is it permissible for her to commit suicide for fear of falling into the forbidden? How can she fear Allah and rid herself of these thoughts? And what are the Quranic proofs for the prohibition of speaking with young men about sex?

Indulging in lewd talk between a man and a woman who are not married to each other is a reprehensible act and a sin. It is a form of metaphorical fornication, as the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "The fornication of the eyes is gazing, the fornication of the ears is listening, and the fornication of the tongue is speaking." The duty is to repent to Allah by abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. One must beware of Satan's whispers that lead to despair of repentance. Abstaining from what is unlawful becomes easy by seeking Allah's help and striving.
