Hi there, Bea. It took quite a few years to get my dad to understand my OCD, let alone admit to my truly having it. I have the "touch" side of OCD, as well, which is thankfully dampened a lot, compared to how I was; when I was a kid, my OCD was very physical: I had twitched and all sorts; it wasn't pretty. >.< I also have the "saying things in my mind" thing, amongst plenty more, but the point is, I get what you're going through, if at least partly. You're not alone. So many people out there with OCD; it's madness.
It's entirely possible to "get rid" of OCD, but it's not always so simple. CBT is the proven psychological treatment for OCD, at least here in the UK, so I would suggest asking for that. I wouldn't bother with medicine, unless you're aiming to lower anxiety, such as I am, with Propranolol, or perhaps an SSRI for any existing depression, brought on by your OCD.
It's not as weird as you might think. The crap I told my therapist was pretty heavy, and she just shrugged it off like I just told I broke a nail. Your therapist wouldn't be there to judge you; she or he is there to do their job, which is to help you. If all a thera.. doctor does is judge you, then they are of no good to you. Make sure you get a professional that is just that: a professional. It's important you find a psychologist with whom you "click", as it's gonna be pretty pointless being sat with someone you can't stand.
