You really do have a severe case of OCD. Taking medication
in order to control your problem, would only be for a period of time. You would not have to take medication for the rest of your life. Medication will calm these urges, and at the same time will re-set your brain. After a year of taking the medication, your brain will remember how to perform corectly.
My son has sucessfully gotton rid of the his more severe traits.
