Dear Joelene~
I'd like to welcome you here to the Forum, where I'm sure you will find others who are coping with this difficulty illness, one that makes ordinary life so difficult.
Beyond Blue has already a fair amout of information about this condition, how it manifests itself and the treatments available
I'd suggest starting wiht the general :
https://www.beyondblue.org.au/the-facts/anxiety/types-of-anxiety/ocd
and then moving on the the specific and detailed.

I'd admit that although very thorough these are rather clinical in style, to read of people's actual experiences I'd Google:
OCD beyondblue forum
Now that I've offered the background information I'd be very interested in learning more about yourself and how this illness is affecting you, if you have medical support and anything else you would like to talk about.
I look forward to hearing from you
Croix
which will yield a ton of results.
