It's no wonder. OCD is a tireless master, but effective treatment exists. If you've been trying unsuccessfully to deal with it, then you've learned what many learn: it is not a condition that responds well to typical ways of coping.
I utilize "evidence-based treatments" and my clients get to choose the approach they feel most comfortable with.
One of the hallmark symptoms of OCD is doubting one has OCD. I hope that you will consider reaching out to a therapist if you suspect you have OCD. It is a terrible reality that it takes the average person well over a decade to get help. I hope we can change that statistic.
