Fear of holding onto something I enjoy and turning it into an idol

My last "great" obsession dealt with a particular person. He once told me, "We'll talk later." Ok, so my first question was "when's later?" He never replied. And I don't like being left hanging like that. So I started obsession on that and finally got a rude reaction from him. There were a couple of other people who I talked with about this. Lucky for me, one was supportive in a nice way, he would occasionally let me rant, but then would change the subject. For me, being able to change the subject is hard. So, that's what I strive for when I realize I'm getting obsessive about something. Only, it isn't always easy.

blasphemy
strict religious behavior
accidentally running someone over
homosexuality
hurting people I love
thinking I am the vilest person alive
germs from meat products
relationship issues (did I insult him/her, did I hurt their feelings)

My OCD takes three forms.

The first, and most troubling to me, is fear of hurting those I love. When I'm suffering from it (as I am right now) I'm afraid that I'll lose control and snap and hurt my mother, my sister, her kids, my brother-in-law, my mom's dog, etc. My compulsion of course is to tell myself I'd never do that and to pray silently and such, wrench my stomach, pushing on my forehead, and if it gets really bad I even hit myself in my head (not hard, just enough so the pain distracts me.)

The second, and still quite troubling to me, is religious OCD. Fear of losing salvation, fear that I was never saved in the first place, etc.

The third is health related. Most recently I've been obsessing over heart issues, but in the past I've also been convinced I had anthrax (about a month or so after 9/11 I ordered a product from Taiwan and immediately after opening the package I got a really bad cold), cancer, hantavirus (I had a really bad cold 4 weeks after cleaning out a very dirty mouse infested garage,) etc.


I used to suffer from #1 and #2 all the time, and didn't have any issues with #3 until 9/11. However, over the past few years what normally happens to me is I have some sort of physical issue (illness, odd pain, etc) which causes #3, then after I start to feel better physically my OCD morphs into #1 or #2 (or most often both at the same time) for a few weeks afterwards.

Funny one: When I was four or five years old, I felt like I had to rub my head in a certain way to make sure that my hair didn't magically grow long like a girl's hair.

lol Looking back, I guess I had some funny ones as well. Like, I had to step over a crack, but with my right foot first.

moral, sexual, and religious issues (infidelity, obsessions over people, fear of going to Hell)
people hating one another
anything sexually themed
someone getting caught
