Respectfully Lana, if you failed to put into action what you learned in therapy, and for an indefinite period of time - not just giving up after a few weeks or months, then yes you've not only wasted your money but also the therapists' time.
People can (and do) can spend thousands of pounds/dollars/whatever on therapy but it won't make any difference to their HA unless they put the work in and leave no stone unturned. If something doesn't work for you, you try something else, and something else and you don't stop trying..
I see you have OCD? That does make things harder, for sure, but not impossible. I also have OCD and I've managed to control my health anxiety with a lot of hard work and determination..
So that's my input. I'm not to going to go down the reassurance route with you because that won't help you to control this disorder..
You need to be in therapy for this, and you need to listen as well as talk. More importantly, you need to understand that there's no quick fix here. This will take time - even when we fully-engage with the therapy.
