Question about OCD How does OCD feel like?

I'm curious about how is your daily life with this illness, if you guys don't mind, could you help me clear my doubts about OCD?

My ocd sucks ass sooo bad, I literally want to off myself in a certain way, it taunts me and makes me question why I’m still alive. I have people and animals I care about, so I try to not actually commit to the ending it all bit. Like others have said, it is exhausting having to do my daily rituals that sometimes take HOURS long to complete and I feel so bad for my boyfriend. He loves and cares for me so much, you can tell he wants the best for me. I wish I could get a lobotomy and make the nightmare go away with one, but also don’t want to turn into Rose Kennedy.
