Same! Meds help somewhat but it's miserable x

Would recommend getting your thyroid checked.

I had covert OCD that got progressively worse, to the point that I could barely leave the house. I was having a panic incident roughly every hour. I couldn't read, listen to music, or watch TV for fear of triggering the OCD.

I have a diagnosis of hypothyroidism and early menopause. Once I got my hormone levels optimal again the OCD disappeared.

Don't just assume it's a mental health issue. OCD and anxiety can have their roots in a physiological problem.
