Hi thank you both for your replys, the reason I haven't wanted to try the meds is because I have been told there are a LOT of side effects, and I feel it would be masking the problem and when I come off the meds I would be the same? and I don't want to be on meds forever. Obviously with me being 17 all child benefit/tax credits have stopped, and my mom cant afford to have me here any more, and I cant work at the moment, well I could from home but never see any openings for home working, I don't know what my next step could be. I start iTalk CBT next week, as giving CBT another shot but with a different worker can only be a good thing, or at least worth a try.

GetBusyLiving, when you started your meds, did the "need" and constant feeling of needing to wash your hands go?

If I do ask about meds, what would you recommend? I don't want any nasty side effects, I just want to feel normal again.

Trinidiva do you know which company's offer data entry jobs from home? and do you know what country they are based in? I am in the UK, so would need to be a company that operates in the UK

Thanks again for getting back to me
