I suffer from the worst form of ocd, I dont think anyone has any idea how fucked up things are.
Medications will not help someone who over analyzes every single issue in life. I've found morally wrong things in getting christmas gifts and taking a second to breathe at work. I literally quit my previous job cause of this shit. I still feel guilty to this day for accepting my paycheck when I was working 999% of the time.
I cant enjoy anything I work for or get any other way because I find the bad in every god damn thing. Its gotten to a point where I feel I could just go nuts any minute.

Sure it is. Guilt is the result of the anxiety. The rituals of trying to justify them, relieve the anxiety, but it always comes back fresh.
Alot of stupid stereotypes have been pushed through hollywood that OCD has a cornered market for hand cleaners and compulsive counting. There are so many denominations I couldnt list them all in a life time.
The general idea of not being able to accept things, or trying to, then having them spike into your head is something else.
Try doing a search on 'Pure O'
I've been this way since I was 10 yrs old.

Ahh, I have OCD in the form of " I'm always forgetting something". Like, before I leave my house I'll check my pockets 3, 4 sometimes 5 times in fear that I'm forgetting something. Even though I'm fully aware after the first check I have everything I need. Never personaly met a person who's object of their OCD is guilt though.

Its not that the guilt is TRULY there, its the responsibility to take action on certain things.
I see it this way: for every single thing in life, there is some loophole to find immoral flaw.
With me, this idea is on speed dial.
I consider my feelings guilt, but they quickly go away and then the next thing comes, then I justify that, and around and around we go. Its a feeling or responsible anxiety. Its associated with the idea of guilt, but it feels more extreme then even that can if its felt for the proper reasons, ala stealing someones stuff. Things are constantly changing, and the result is the same thing. Being responsible for and action beyond my control.
Those kind of checks you got are just basic things. Its only ocd if it begins to severely interfere with life. There are people who spend 12 hours out of a day doing pocket checks.
The best form of therapy is cognititve behavioral therapy. (CBT) which basically prevents the emotional response triggered by the OCD thoughts.
So lets say something new comes up that I find incredibly important that needs to be tended to, my helpful result would be to endure the anxiety to its max appeal and not react to the ritual of tending to the important event.

I don't see anything wrong with washing your hands a lot. Although, in the winter I wish I didn't so much because my hands get chapped. 
shito makes no sense, I thought this was common knowledge?
