This isn't so much reassurance seeking as it is looking for a solution to a very real problem finding treatment. If absolutely can't change your living circumstance, then I second the recommendation by Rusted_Metal: find books and other resources on CBT that work for you. A classic that is very often recommended is "The OCD Workbook" (https://www.amazon.com/OCD-Workbook-Breaking-Obsessive-Compulsive-Disorder/dp/1572249218/).

Medication will help tamp down your symptoms overall, but CBT especially when coupled with Exposure Response Prevention therapy has a fantastic rate of putting the disease into remission.

The treatment for BFRBS is Comprehensive Behavioral Treatment.

A link to the workbook I use

DBT specifically focuses on providing therapeutic skills in four key areas. First, mindfulness focuses on improving an individual's ability to accept and be present in the current moment. Second, distress tolerance is geared toward increasing a person’s tolerance of negative emotion, rather than trying to escape from it. Third, emotion regulation covers strategies to manage and change intense emotions that are causing problems in a person’s life. Fourth, interpersonal effectiveness consists of techniques that allow a person to communicate with others in a way that is assertive, maintains self-respect, and strengthens relationships.

I’m currently reading the book Break Free From OCD and one chapter talks about triggers/causes of OCD.

The book says that people who have experienced a big amount of responsibility in the past such as having distant parents, looking after children etc can become more likely to develop OCD as they obsess over preventing more harm and feel responsible for that prevention.

It also mentions people who are typically perfectionists, although OCD is much more than that it can contribute to developing OCD.

Unfortunately I don’t have actual sources for those statements, I’d have to check the book but it’s worth a read.
