I was at a talk by a psychiatrist, and he said for OCD we're not there yet with the meds. So I think there are a lot of people with OCD that are not getting med relief.
I don't have OCD, but my understanding from others is that it gets worse when you are anxious about things, so try some anxiety relieving things like turning up the heat, doing relaxation tapes, hot baths and maybe your symptoms will be less bothersome. There are a lot of good websites out there for mental health things, and you can go to a forum with other people with OCD, you may learn a lot there. It may be more productive than posting on here, and you won't get nasty comments. (I was not aware that you were supposed to get all your spelling/punctuation as correctly online as if you were writing a paper or putting up a website - I don't always capitalize or use commas on here!!?? In the early days of the internet, like in 1990, few of us tech geeks capitalized. I think some of these folks posting should go get a life if they can't stop being jerks).

My answer is just not to worry too much so what.. it will not take your world apart. Just relax.. dont worry aboout the petty things. You have a whole life inhead of you. so what if the floors arent cleaned or your house isnt dusted.. You just try to enjoy your life with out all that crap ..You arent doomed. Relax. your world will not fall apart trust me.

Have fun, Play in the Mud (it's okay to get dirty). Dont worry - as long as you still get your work done and do the right thing. Make good choices and keep good friends.

If you're such a perfectionist, why is your grammar so bad?
Blame your parents.

Medication DOES work.
I'm (formerly) OCD thanks to the medicine I was prescribed.
