You may not have full blown OCD but you are clearly troubled by elements of OCD. It sounds like it has gotten worse recently. This can happen if you are under more stress than usual. OCD becomes a way of managing your anxiety.
There are very important principles that will help you in CBT (Therapy) and Mindfulness based therapy.
