My husband has had pure OCD for over ten years and although he's tried several meds (mostly because he also has GAO), there really aren't many meds to treat OCD. We've learned that Behavioral Therapy is the best way to go. Maybe a mild antidepressant or anti-anxiety med would help through the rough spots but talk therapy is the way to go. Please be open with your psychiatrist so she can set you up with a therapist who is qualified to deal with your situation. It'll ease your pain and stress so much!

I'm way to lazy for OCD takes too much work I prefer to lie in bed and practice being dead. I hate being touched by random people even some family members it makes my skin pulsate if people touch me feels "dirty" and if my room is not spotless it makes me feel miserable

You failed to give your symptoms so how do we know you have OCD?
