My experience is the same as Pegasus. My OCD fears tend to have more reason than they'd appear to have on the surface. They're a distraction from what's really bothering me, they consume all my mind and worries, and they're easy enough to dismiss intellectually.
My inclination would be to try to figure out what was really bothering me. Or if that was too scary to allow myself to continue to have the fears, but with appreciation for all they're doing for me.
