you need to think of your meds as a temporary aid to help bridge the gap between total dysfunction and managed illness
start writing and journalling ong it helps

>Meds dont cure mental illness, they just help you stay in control,
totally true and so was everything else you said
use the stability the meds can provide to make changes to your life to try and get better
you can improve and manage your compulsions and problems even if you can't cure them

>I'd be willing to let them try experimental therapy on me such as zapping my brain with electricity, anything that might work.
the sad truth is that like they said the only treatment is prolonged effort over an extended period
you have to force yourself to make changes and stick with them until the habits form and your brain reshapes little by little, which it does do
i don't know the specifics of your ocd or what habits might help but i am still certain that taking the time every day to write down your thoughts and trying to analyze them would help
you must recognize how irrational your behavior is but you need to internalize that
