Im 19. I have been struggling with (what I just discovered to be) HOCD for a while, and Ive been with my girlfriend even longer.  The thing about it is, is that throughout this struggle, its been so hot and cold.  It seems like it reverses every other week - one week its really bothering me, the next its like nothing ever changed and Im happy as can be with my girlfriend.  Would seeing a therapist get me over the hump and back to normal for good?
Hi, thanks for the query. What do you mean by HOLD? Do you mean to suggest you have obsessive compulsive disorder with predominantly sexual or blasphemous obsessions? Some Psychologists tend to call this type of OCD as HOLD; though as per available literature; this is also OCD. Can I know the exact nature of your symptoms? OCD is a waxing & waning illness with origins usually in adolescence or early adulthood. Usual symptoms are obsessions which are recurrent intrusive anxiety provoking thoughts, impulses or images which are recognized as originating from ones own mind by the subject. Obsessions frequently lead to compulsions which are repetitive acts or rituals done to avert anxiety arising due to obsessions. Obsessions can be of dust, dirt, contamination, sexual, blasphemous etc. OCD is treated by Chat Doctor.
