At first i always had many things in my brain that i needed to fix and improve for eg relationship with my parents ,my education and work etc but after a long battle with ocd and trying to fix other areas of my life first where i continuously failed due to ocd coming in my way and making a simple task extremely difficult and daunting. I've realized that i need to to put ocd healing first and all other things second and only then i can get rid of this hell in my brain but the problem is the guilt of not worshipping the way i should in ramadan is not letting me put complete focus on ocd healing what should I do now!?

Asalaamu Alaikum, can you give some examples of how OCD affects you in various aspects and areas of your life including in worship?
There are many things for eg i have to clean myself constantly to feel "right" i have to recite same thing over and over so that it feels ok even when i start wudu i can't even recite Bismillah with ease as i have to repeat it over and over just to get feeling of "right"
