I don't know what to do :( I don't have a therapist who can do ERP right now so I'm trying to find one & also switch meds, but I need something to calm it quick

Thank you so much for your response. I've only used 2 SSRIs because I have been on one for a majority of the time, and only switched fully to my new one this year (which was prescribed incorrectly as well.) I don't think DBS is a good option for me now because I know there are still other options out there, but I hope it is something you will be able to explore if you want & that your journey points in a positive direction. I also looked into the term tourettic OCD before and it sounds like me! I'm glad I'm not the only one who knows what that is. I only tense my head/neck right now - I can't imagine the stress of having 7 different areas to tense. It is quite painful after a while too. Do you find that ERP helps with the tensing? When I try and stop it almost happens again automatically.
