question: I'm 19. I have been struggling with (what I just discovered to be) HOCD for a while, and I've been with my girlfriend even longer.  The thing about it is, is that throughout this struggle, it's been so hot and cold.  It seems like it reverses every other week - one week it's really bothering me, the next it's like nothing ever changed and I'm happy as can be with my girlfriend.  Would seeing a therapist get me over the hump and back to normal for good?
