Dear Lybrate user, Relaax please. You are really in a big struggle with your own mind. But, you are not alone. Many a people are on the same boat. The good news is OCD can be effectively managed with the help of psychiatric medicines and psychotherapy (CBT techniques) to the extent that you can lead a normal and happy life. First of all you have to accept this as a disease (a type of anxiety disorders) and don't hesitate to take help from your parents, explain them. Try to see a psychiatrist in your nearest location asap. It will take a few weeks to mark changes, i.e, you will see vanishing your symptoms after few weeks of medications, and you may have to continue it for a few months/years with the help of your psychiatrist. CBT along with medicines will help a lot. Don't loose heart, it is no big deal. If you are interested you may contact me through Lybrate's paid up consultation.

Dear lybrate-user, It is difficult to live with religious (sacrilege) OCD at this young age of 17 years. Please consult a psychiatrist and take treatment. OCD can be treated with high dose antidepressants and exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy. With therapy you can study better and you will enjoy your parents and life. You yourself know that your parents will not die. But thoughts come automatically. In treatment the thoughts will be questioned and challenged. All the best.
