First of all i want to give you all a background of my mental illness it’s a bit long and you can skip this part my question is below this wall of text.

BACKGROUND: i’m an 18 y o male. i have been struggling with mental illness since i was 13 it started as something like having an imaginary friend i thought i was talking to god! crazy stuff... but somehow i stopped it i guess i grew out of it but what carried on from that experience was anxiety and panic every single thing, every inconsistency caused me a great deal of anxiety to the point i once collapsed during an exam at the age of 15 and i was pretty much unresponsive so i was rushed to the hospital and i was in ICU for a considerable amount of time and the doctors where trying to figure out what’s wrong with me and they finally concluded that i just had a panic attack. after that it kept getting worse my grades suffered, my life suffered, i could barely function i was in panic mode 24/7 and this is not an exaggeration it was literally like that i don’t think i felt any other feelings at those times other than pure panic. so naturally i became depressed and everything was getting worse and worse and i hide it from my family cuz my father is a HUGE hard ass and he genuinely thinks mental illness is fake and he started hating me when my grades were getting bad so i had to tell my family about what i was experiencing and i begged them to take me to a therapist. the therapy kinda helped, my therapist gave me some breathing exercises and told me to write my thoughts down, things that were bothering me and rate the anxiety i was feeling from 1 to 10. somewhere in the middle of all this panic and anxiety i started to develop symptoms of OCD and at the time i thought i had developed OCD it was when i had ended my therapy sessions but i had this new problem and i had to see a therapist or a doctor so last year they took me to a clinic and i was examined by a psychiatrist, he prescribed me prozac and told me to go to therapy again... and my diagnosis by the psychiatrist and the therapist were OPCD, GAD, MDD.

THE QUESTION: now a days i feel much, much better but there is something that is standing in my way of full recovery and that is these rituals and compulsion i have to do. like if i don’t do them i get super anxious and they are getting out of hand and it gets weird and crazy and i’m always like ok i will do it this time then i won’t do it again but it seems like i can’t STOP! for people who have experienced any compulsive disorders how did you stop them?
