Answer 1

The only way to get rid of OCD is to find out what is causing it. There is always an underlying issue behind OCD. Contact a professional who is knowledgeable about this subject. It's almost always some type of control issue.

OCD does not respond well to self help treatment.

Answer 2

As others have stated, it's clearly more case of paranoia than OCD. OCD is often a more complicated fear, like: if I don't take exactly three pieces of toilet paper then something bad might happen. What you're feeling is most likely a paranoia stemming from some strong social anxiety. Talk to your doctor about it, there's some therapies and medications that could make your life a lot better.

Answer 3

OCD never just "goes away". You can help treat it and make it so it's not as bad. But it's not curable. I should know, I've had severe ocd all my life and it affects my life in so many different ways. Most days I don't even go out of the house because my obsessions get in the way of everything. Try therapy or behavior therapy. You can also try medicines, But I don't like meds cause you never know if they'll cause something bad later on like cancer. Hope you're able to treat your ocd!

Answer 4

If you go to http://www.ocfoundation.org/ , they should be able to give you information and resources to get help. Taking medication for me helped because it lessened the symptoms and made it seem like there was a way to overcome some of the obsessions. Therapy for me is difficult because I have relied on the compulsions my whole life. Hope this helps.

I would also say it's better to go find professional help, please talk with your GP. It can be far easier with someone helping you directly.
