Thanks for taking the time to give such a detailed post.
I think I know what the Y-BOCS (sorry if I mispelled). It is the initials of the test used to measure your level of OCD. I don't remember what mine was.
I too was hospitalized years ago for my OCD, anxiety, and depression. My OCD does not manifest in any way about contamination and germs. It is mainly intrusive (which in my case are horrible thoughts), having to have things arranged in order, and doing even ordinary tasks a specific way.
I am sorry to hear about your OCD problems and really wish you the best.
I have also been researching and I have come across some reports of where SSRI's have been augmented with low doses of the newer forms of anti-psychotics to treat the intrusive thoughts of OCD. But I am weary of the side effects of anti-psycotic medication.
Again, wish you the best with your OCD woes and thanks for your response.
Please forgive my spelling :).
