I have suffered from OCD for more than 15 years, since I was 15. Looking back on my childhood I can trace it back even farther. My OCD rules and rituals control not only my life but my mom's as well. I force her to be an enabler. I am also agoraphobic, and part of the reason is that contact with the outside world renders me completely contaminated. Even getting in my mom's car, the door handle is filthy, the seat is filthy e.t.c. I'm a SEVERE case. I've been on dozens of meds and had years of therapy (though I'm not seeing a therapist currently). I'd like to speak with people who have OCD or have had it in the past but recovered to some degree. Most of the time I feel there's no hope and I'll be this way for the rest of my life. I really need HOPE. Can anyone help/advise?
