So, OCD is not something that will go away. There are studies suggesting that brain trauma greatly increases the chance of it, and I was dropped on my head as a baby (har har har) so that is certainly possible. The fact that, unlike many other anxiety issues, OCD never goes away does lead credence to the idea that it is a physical difference in the brain, as well as the fact that people are completely aware of how strange the behavior is and cannot stop it.
It has to be treated with Meds and Therapy, and I am going through both right now. So far it has helped a little, but I know the symptoms will return, so I am working on developing better coping mechanisms.
I do think I intimidate the shit out of my therapist though. 'Sokay, I am indeed learning a lot from her and she is still getting paid, so it is still a win/win.
