Hi and welcome to PC, in support to your post, I have OCD and depression also. I have been combating the illness probably as child but properly diagnosed at the end of my career when I lost my job as a result of this, some 16 years or so ago and havn't really worked since.I have constant intrusive thoughts and checking.Some ocd ritualls are more intense than others some have remained permanent, and others come and go as other new ones become priority.Although through my whole course of my illness I have tried various medications (too many in my opinon) and techniques with a therapist, I can only encourage you to seek professional opinions concerning yourself and dont despair as I still believe there are treatments that work or take the edge off at least..Please feel free to post me any concerns or questions you have.Take care.
