Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. From the question itself it is clear that you know something about the problem. The present scenario sounds as obsessive thoughts. Just that. Not OCD. But from the description, diagnosis may not be possible. Thorough psychometric tests and diagnosis procedures may be utilized for correct diagnosis.

If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
