Dr. Lynne Weixel answered

Specializes in Clinical Psychology

Find an OCD expert: I think it may be helpful for you to talk with a therapist who is really experienced in ocd issues. You may have other difficulties, but this would be a good start and eventually you'd find what can help. Don't give up until you succeed.
