I want to warn you of one thing. I used to go about thinking that way too- it's not bad enough to go into residential treatment. But it was. I just couldn't see it. I would talk about it with your therapist because many times, you are unable to see the severity of your situation. It's not you're fault- the OCD clouds judgment. I didn't want to go to residential but it was much needed. Looking back, I should have gone so much sooner. But I kept waiting it out- waiting for various medications to kick in, waiting for therapy to help, waiting for things to get "bad enough". Don't wait until you are so depressed that they have to stabilize you in residential before they can get started on OCD work. I'm speaking from personal experience.
