OCD Symptoms returning

I’m nervous because last year I had the worst episodes of ocd I’ve ever had. I could leave the house I couldn’t go anywhere in the day because I was scared to be seen because I feared I had herpes when I didn’t. I would check my face at least 5-10 times every hour to confirm I had no cold sores on my lips even tho I didn’t have any sexual contact for months before. Now after recovering I’ve been off meds for months but yesterday it feels like it’s returning I had the urge to check my lips all night and now I’m scared thinking it’ll come back soon. Contamination ocd sucks but it’s a little better knowing I’m not alone.
