hi joshuas-mommy. Sorry to hear you are suffering from symptoms. Have you considered going to a psychiatrist for an official diagnosis and treatment plan? That is the best option in my opinion.

Try this website:
ocfoundation.org
for more information. A professional diagnosis is recommended. If it is OCD and not too severe, then it may be treatable with behavioral therapy. If the behavior therapy isn't helping, then most will end up trying a med or two for treatment.

You think? Did you talk to your doc?

CBT could be helpful and if it is severe enough medication is helpful. But you do need to talk to mental health professional

Exposure therapy is the best treatment. But like everyone said, I would talk to a pdoc to get an official diagnosis first.
