It doesn't go away because it is medical. At such times - go slow and stay connected. Then move on. Do something else instead. Your behavior will never change if you wait for the urge to change first.
Temporary discomfort is the price of freedom.
Keep going forward. OCD does not protect against bad results. Self-care and relaxation does. There is no quick easy solution. Take the long-term road of not giving in versus the quick fix that OCD offers.
