I worry alot, I apologize for stuff I don't need to, but im a very sociable and confident person at times when I can be. Im on medication for it, and exercise and is thinking of using yoga to keep me balanced.
Does yoga get rid of racing thoughts? Or at least help with it?

Yoga can help relax you, as far as keeping you "balanced", I would say a good relationship with God is the answer to that.
Being on medication for OCD, are you under constant supervision by a counselor? You should only need that medication for a short period of time, to get you through a rough time and the rest you should be working on in counseling to control your thoughts and actions.
I think meditation/prayer has been proven to help people in many areas with regards to help and well-being. Try that, it will help you to be more relaxed and focused. Use what you learn from meditation to assist you in controlling you thoughts. You have the ability to control this and finally overcome it too.

I agree that for racing thoughts Meditation and prayer work wonders. Yoga is also very helpful when practiced on regular bases. It can calm the mind because when you do the exercises you have to focus on the breathing and the poses and can't think too much about the other stuff and after the exercise you feel more relaxed. Try to be aware of your thoughts when they come and kick them out because you have the power to do that. There is nothing wrong with over apologizing. It is better than being arrogant and rude. Sanity starts with one step. And it seems that you want to get well, so you will. I have faith in that.

Hello,
Yoga can be a great friend during diets. I were able to go from a size 12 to a size 8. That's what it looks like when 19 lbs vanishes.

Meditation is the best medicine, an instant medicine for mental health as propagated by Swami Vishvas Ji.
In order to understand the approach and significance of Meditation, one must first understand what health signifies. Complete health is a symphony of both physical and mental well being. Considering physical health alone as one’s sole purpose is the highest form of ignorance, for it is very temporary. At the first instance of any adverse situation, if you are not mentally strong to face it, you will readily fall prey to stress that comes along with it and then, even all the physical health gained, will be lost.
A healthy body alone, is incapable of providing you the will power, tolerance and clarity one needs, to carry through difficult times. These are the qualities of a healthy mind. This is where Meditation comes into the picture. It is Meditation that equips you with a strong and sound mind.
Meditation makes you free from all identifications of the mind very easily. It frees you from the negativities of the mind such as stress, panic, reactions, anger, ego, fear, frustrations etc. and cultivates positive, beneficial and life- affirming mind-states, like patience, tolerance, perseverance, love, kindness, happiness- enabling a deeper understanding of self and others.
Meditation brings the body, mind, emotions and spirit- all of the many facets of human existence, into complete harmony, like a symphony orchestra. Yoga, daily walk and various other forms of exercises are quite useful to make the body fit for meditation but they are not meditation itself. Yoga and all these exercises are futile and insignificant if they are not meant for Meditation. The body is merely a carrier to reach the end- it is not the end.
Where a sound body loses- a sound mind wins. One must attain a sound mind through Meditation - a process made readily available to man by Nature itself. Swami Vishvas Ji explains, “Meditation is God’s Grace. It is to be shared, not sold. It can never be made a commercial commodity. Meditation is a subject of vibrations, not bookish knowledge. In fact it can be attained very easily in the company of a Spiritual Master, an awakened soul.”
