Have you learned: coping skills and non- pharmacological approaches to your OCD? If yes, then begin using these immediately to work through this as quickly as possible. If you are also on a medication regimen be consistent. If you don't known non-medication approaches to dealing with OCD _ it is high time that you learned them.
