Thanks Fern! I do see a therapist who is great, it's been a bit slow in terms of progress because she's only available every 2-4 weeks and it took awhile to figure out I had OCD and needed therapy specifically for it. However I am considering therapy plus lifestyle changes to be my primary treatment. I am doing okay with coping skills and I know this feeling will pass. I have more been considering seeing my psychiatrist it in general to maybe get some more feedback on what's going on with me.

It's not that I care about a label as much as I am confused about the underlying processes. I am also a little concerned some of this could be due to past health issues I've had. I haven't yet considered other pdocs just because I trust this one and he knows me well, but wouldn't be against it.
