I agree with you 100% that it is anxiety and ocd. It's exactly the same with me. You're scared off falling off that edge that the thoughts seem to be trying to push you toward, and try to find some sense of control, such as finding the cause, looking for something from earlier in life. But also, the obsessional thoughts target whatever is most distressing and confusing to you, no matter what it is, I swear to god. If for some reason you believed that thinking about ice cream can cause insanity, visions of ice cream would invade your mind and you'd struggle to fight it. Of course I choose ice cream only to illustrate the ambiguity of the intrusive thoughts. The OCD will serve up whatever might cause anxiety.
Hope this helps,
