feelings aren't facts! (got that yelled at me every day while i was in the hospital... drilled it into my head)... i mean, its a fact that you are feeling the way you are, no one can say that you aren't feeling sad if you're feeling sad... but feeling something doesn't make it true. feeling that my hair is green today clearly doesn't make it actually green. in the same way, feeling fat doesn't mean that you are fat, feeling stupid doesn't mean that you are stupid, feeling worthless doesn't mean that you are actually worthless.... etc. (i hope that made sense.... again, i'm reading through it and not totally sure)
with the ocd... have you done erp therapy? its really really the only thing that has proven to be effective. and if you do it properly, it is effective for most people.... i can give you more information if you like. or if you're already doing it, i'm happy to give lots and lots of encouragement and cheerleading, cause i've had to do a ton myself for my ocd.
