The symptoms mentioned appear to be delusions and hallucinations resulting from obsessive thoughts (waswas). We advise you to supplicate (make du'a) and turn away from them. Ghusl (ritual bath) is only required upon the emission of semen. The intention to remove the major ritual impurity is sufficient for purification from menstruation and janabah (state of major ritual impurity). If you are not certain about the emission of semen, then ghusl is not required. Your prayers and circumambulation (tawaf) are valid if you were not certain of performing these acts of worship while in a state of janabah. Your Hajj and Umrah are valid, and so is your marriage.
