I'm struggling to eat and drink because I'm having horrible thoughts about bugs?

I've recently started to try put on weight because I was slightly underweight for my age and height, I've put on 10 pounds in around 7 months, and since around 2 weeks ago I've been struggling to eat and drink because when I do I get very detailed and disturbing thoughts about bugs, if I leave my can of coke for less than a minute I have to shine a torch into it to make sure nothings crawled in there, and when I'm eating depending on the food I think of different insects, for example when I'm eating a kebab I think of maggots, and then I think that I'm eating maggots and I'm struggling to cope with it because I've just put weight on and I'm really happy and I don't want to start losing it because I'm struggling to eat, I don't know what to do,

also I'm not sure if it changes anything or could be the reason but I started taking cerazette around a month and a half ago, although it says nothing on the packet about the issues I'm having
