<font color="#000088"> I also have an OCD,well there's 2 things that I have an OCD with,one is cleanliness,I go on cleaning spree's like crazy,and the washing of hands constantly,the 2nd is self-mutilation"cutting",I'm working hard on that one!
but my Dad always understood just because he is a Psychologist Ph.D,and he always loved me,he passed away not too long ago!
But my mom gave me such a hard time about the washing of the hands,so one day I came up with an idea just to show her,when it was time for dinner(this was very hard)I rubbed a bunch of dirt on my hands,then sat at the table to eat,with very dirty hands! My Mom was so mad that I didn't wash my hands for dinner,she never bothered me about washing my hands again!

I know you talked to your counselor ,but I know what your going through,I have the same thing.But I just thought you'ld get a good laugh out of my story of how I got my Mom to leave me alone! My Dad always taught me that laughter is the best medicine! So I wanted to share a dose with you! Good luck with the outcome of your counseling,and I'm here if you ever need anything! </font>
