I actually just looked it up for you by googling “Yale Brown obsessive compulsive scale”. Since you don’t have access to any kind of treatment I personally would start there. I remember when I did it and realized that there is a name for my irrational fears it did put me at ease a little and then I knew where to go from there.. even if it is just doing your own research (and believe me i feel like I have read every single website out there) and just making yourself as knowledgeable about it as possible will help!

I’ve taken those quizzes before too and they told me I have OCD. And I have been tested by 3 or 4 psychiatrists who diagnosed me with OCD. There is one that I believe one of the many different therapists I’ve been to used and I believe it’s online too. I think it was from Yale-Brown college or something (this was years ago).

your very welcome I’ve been there and I know how debilitating it is but the more you know the easier it is to understand and know that it is very hard to understand. When people tell me to just get over it or don’t do the compulsions I just tell them no matter how much I describe ocd to you you really will fully understand. Which is what is nice about this app is that we all can relate and understand even if we don’t have the same fears

Only an OCD therapist can diagnose you. But when I was researching OCD, I did a couple of those quizzes and they said I do have OCD. I did get an official OCD diagnosis, but those quizzes can be helpful, but they can also cause you additional stress and anxiety. You shouldn't diagnose yourself just based on a quiz.

I have constantly been feeling like if I hit one arm, I have to hit the other and if I set something down and it just didn’t look right or feel right I had to do it again or I had to move it to a different spot in my room I’ve had never been a clean freak, which is mainly what I get told is OCD And I don’t know if I should even have this app. I don’t know if I actually have it. I’m constantly worried that I did something in my past that harmed others and that’s why people don’t like me or I’m constantly worried People are constantly watching me and I don’t know if that’s OCD or if I have it so please tell me I will delete this app and never think of it again if I don’t I just really wanna know

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

Sometimes I think " do I like kids?" "Would i get aroused if I saw content with kids?""What if I'm a pedo and cant accept it?" "What if I'm ok with these thoughts?" "What if I'm not distressed enough " "What if I enjoy these thoughts?" , i avoid kids as much as i can, i cant look at them bc I'm scared I'm gonna have some groin like response. I keep testing if I'd get turned on or if I'd have some groinal response to sexual scenarios with kids. Sometimes I think that if I took my life this would be over and i wouldn't have to think about this and i wish i doubted something else instead of things like this. I had similar situations just with different topics such as if i loved or found sexually appealing a guy while in a relationship and i kept asking myself those questions for months and i avoided going to school for weeks and when I went I'd cry and have anxiety attacks. I had it with past actions i obessed over and felt the need to exploit every detail and be honest because otherwise i was being a fraud. I had it for sexual things that happened when i was a child. Im not diagnosed with ocd but should i tell this to my local counselor? Can someone help? Give me advice or tell me anything?
