there are meds that can help...zoloft, prozac, luvox, Anafranil and a few others

you need to go see someone about the problem before it takes over your life.
the medications are not a cure but rather an aid to reduce stress along with therapy

the therapy pretty much consists of forcing you to push through and not do the rituals no matter how much you want to. eventually, the urge won't be as strong...but you need to see a pro on this. Don't wait, make an appointment.
