I was diagnosed with OCD but I am seeing if I can get re-evaluated. Sometimes I feel like I'm OCD and sometimes I don't. Like I won't hug my mom because she has been in her car which has "particles" which makes me feel unclean. I won't even go in her car. Then I never go to resturants because I believe that the smell will get all over my clothes and when I put them in the hamper in my closet, the smell will drift onto the other clothes and makes them unclean. I have been to a therapist for two years, exposure therapy doesn't help. I am on 250mg of Zoloft which evens out my mood and doesn't make me have a rollercoaster of thoughts. Is anyone out there like this? And if you are, how did you get over this?

Hi and welcome to Psych Central! Maybe someone who deals with this kind of obsession will speak up before too long.

Have you considered talking to a different therapist, who might be able to offer another way of dealing with it? Or being honest with your current one that you are getting frustrated and need a Plan B for treatment?
