West, I hope you are in treatment for your OCD. It can be a debilitating disorder but there is treatment. I have a kid with severe OCD and while his treatment has helped, it will be with him for life. He struggles daily with intrusive thoughts and compulsions. His sx are pretty classic but there is a wide range of symptoms.
It's been our experience that even some psychologists don't understand it fully and you have to work to find the right person and the right combination of therapy and meds.
Rewind, Replay, Repeat by Jeff Bell provides an eye-opening look into what goes on in the mind on someone with OCD.

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do. I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering. Caroline Myss
