It doesn't go away though, does it? Otherwise you wouldn't be here with these same worries. Sure, it might ease up for a bit, but like Venus said, it comes straight back again. It will continue for as long as you leave it unchallenged.
From what I remember, you moved house because of the OCD. You're now afraid to go near the woman you've just married. I don't in any way mean to be unkind, but it doesn't seem like it's going to just go away.
i totally agree with Pulisa and hope that your new psychiatrist does a full assessment to allow you to get the right help.

I know you don't like change, Phil but I reckon the new psychiatrist may be able to help you more than your previous one but you have to be open and honest with him/her as to the extent of your difficulties. Yes you have a house, a job and a wife but let's face it, life is terrifying for you when it's packed full of challenges and fears and you use a forum purely to document all these issues which you blank out and can't address.
I know you'll ignore and blank out this too and come back on with a new set of worries in due course.
I wish you luck with your new psychiatrist,it is up too you to put the hard yards in and keep going don’t cave in.
A house,job and what sounds like a patient caring wife,if you don’t keep up therapy you might wake up one day and have nothing.
Good Luck
Strength does not come from physical capacity.It comes from an Indomitable will.
Problem is my ocd keeps finding new scenarios. I was scared to touch a key at my partners parents house the tonight as I blocked a toilet there once before. Also I put some used kitchen paper on the work top I worried after she binned it in the small bin my ocd said it was from the wheelie bin. Then I worried my phone was dirty after touching the work top. This is how my ocd I operated it finds new ways to trouble me mostly about my the same issues?
It will continue to find new scenarios until you decide to do something about it.

Yes, there's a way out, but only with hard work and determination

I think you're right Venus. I just keep hoping somehow we'll get through, but am probably wasting my time, like so many others who've tried to help. Really sad though.
