I can certainly understand how what you are experiencing would be disturbing. Unfortunately I don't know what to tell you as far as what you can do about this, other than to talk it all through with a counselor or therapist. Sometimes just talking these sorts of things through with someone in real life can be a great relief.

You mentioned you struggle with anxiety. And it's possible, I suppose, that it's your anxiety that is driving these temporary "fetishes". If that is the case, talking this all through in real life may go a long way toward relieving your anxiety & thus these compulsive thoughts.

Here's a link to an article, from PC's archives, where the author talks about her own battle with intrusive thoughts:

A Closer Look at Intrusive Thoughts | Overcoming OCD

I think one important thing here is to (hopefully) be able to realize that everyone has disturbing thoughts of one sort or another. However thoughts are just thoughts. And the more you can just smile to them & let them go the less frightening & disturbing they're likely to become.
