Hi

I admire your positive outlook and congratulate you for the attitude.

You have OCD and there is no doubt about it. It could be due to some stress in your personal life. In that case, you need some help.

However let me give my opinion here.

I think a combination therapy of antidepressant like fluoxetine, fluvxamine or clomipramine and low benzodiazepine would help you. These drugs would help you to control these symptoms and beside these drugs, you can try some relaxation exercise like JPMR or deep breathing exercise. That would keep you calm and relax.

For this you need expert's guidance by psychiatrist or psychologist .

Hope this helps.
