I'm sick of the constant fucking rituals I have to do and I'm sick of the unwanted thoughts that keep annoying me. I can't even talk to friends anymore without over analyzing shit and thinking about it just makes my shit worse. I'm frustrated and I can't stand it anymore. I've been dealing with this for years and I don't think I can any longer. Do you guys have any tips on dealing with OCD?
Uhh have you tried seeing a doctor? This is literally the easiest fix bro. Something got wired wrong in your brain and some meds will help fix it

I can tell you some of the techniques my counsellor gave me to help with mine (work in progress but deffo better):
>try to widen your window of tolerance ie build up slowly to doing things in a non ritualised way
>when you're in a comfy/relaxed state, try meditating to get an image of yourself at rest, so you have a sort of happy place to picture when it gets bad
>celebrate the little victories
>write down successes and failures at the end of the week and watch the successes accumulate over time
