I know it sucks, but the good (and important) thing is you’re doing the work now rather than next year, or five years from now. Don’t beat yourself up about posting here, either. Nobody’s forcing us to be here, haha.

Just as an aside for consideration: See if you can get a referral to an OCD specialist from your current therapist, perhaps? Or maybe do some research and see if you can find one near you (unless your current therapist is!). I would personally bring up the possibility of some Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) therapy, because in this modern world it is awfully hard to escape information (as you yourself have found), so it’s best to learn how to deal with triggers as they come up rather than deny them. It’s a very effective treatment in my experience.
