> I wonder how much time you spend ruminating. There is a particular brand of OCD called Pure O wherein the sufferer spends much of their time in their head telling themselves things that are largely untrue, such as, "I'm invisible." What I recommend you do is find a therapist who specializes in treating OCD and maybe finding a way to think a way out of the hole you're in. ECT is not really a recommended treatment for OCD, btw. Your response to ECT makes me think that the 'baggage' that was gotten rid of was just an accumulation of ruminations you had. My point is, maybe you're thinking is getting you numb.

Everytime I go to a therapist they just sort of take over and won't stop talking. I know I need help. I just don't know where to start.
