You have the internet- the entire corpus of human knowledge - literally in your hand my friend. As if that couldn't be any more useful, there is now an AI genie that will sift through that corpus for you at your command.
Just be aware most YouTube videos on OCD are, like all YouTube videos, engagement slop: OCD thrives on THIS little thing! What your therapist won't tell you about OCD etc. type videos are best ignored. Just get googling. Ask ChatGPT the exact question you just posed to us.

Depends for what.

I had OCD for closing the door to my house, so I would check that everything was in order, that I had the keys (like I checked several times), and I closed properly.

So now I just pay way more attention to it, laser focus, instead of repeating the same stuff 5 times like an idiot.

That is why I am asking here as a real person might have something to say that isn't youtube engagement slop or modern internet slop in general. An AI is just going to take from the slop and package it up into a bullet point fiasco

You have the "infected" OCD variant? What way can you compete with the disease?

I have that too it's fucking awful yes, it's more like instead of laser focus, you could say it's like an old camera, you have to observe for enough time for the image to "develop" in your mind so that you are certain that something is in the state you want it in.

It makes you waste so much time right? So much time with rituals, it's such a demon on the shoulders.
