From what I've learned, OCD is successfully treated the same no matter it's theme. That treatment being exposing yourself to whatever is making you anxious and accepting the uncertainty of your feared consequences. For example, if you think that a robber will come into your house and rob you if you don't keep checking the door, then you would lock the door once and resist the compulsion to go and constantly re-check while also accepting the uncertainty that a robber just MIGHT come in at night and steal your valuables. Believe me, I know, easier said than done. There is really great literature I want to point you to, the one I've found to be the most useful is this one: https://www.amazon.com/Freedom-Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder-Personalized-ebook/dp/B00DYX9PX8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1527412576&sr=8-4&keywords=overcoming+obsessive+compulsive+disorder by Dr. Jonathan Grayson and I'm only maybe 5 chapters in. The more you understand how OCD works the easier it will be for you to overcome it. I'm reluctant to speak on your specific situation because we're not supposed to be "diagnosing" people on Reddit or giving medical advice. But I can point you to a couple more resources as well if you'd like :)

I'd recommend finding a therapist who is trained in Exposure and Response Prevention or if you want to do it on your own, consult this book for help:

Best of luck!
