Only a professional can diagnose you with OCD. Unfortunately, it is very common for people with OCD to be misdiagnosed. I was diagnosed with GAD years ago. I never questioned it until I started learning more about OCD. I suggest you schedule a free call. If you DO have OCD, then you can start treatment. If not, then at least you will know. It also very common for people with OCD to doubt they have it

Hey, if it helps what you've described sounds *a lot* like ocd. Whole lotta doubt, checking, avoiding things for reasons that are hard to articulate. I would 100% recommend trying the free call. I wasn't sure if I had ocd, and part of the whole frustrating thing with this is learning to accept not knowing stuff for sure. So you might not have it! And that probs feels uncomfortable, I know it does for me when I've thought it.. but trying something that could help could still be worth a shot

A therapist I had a while ago said if you think you might have bpd then you probably don't. Bpd doesn't make it easy to be reflective

Thank you all!!! Just woke up to a lot of good advice! I will book a free call. Thank you for your kindness. And that s true: it s not my job, as a patient, to check if I m bipolar. It is the therapist's job.

im not diagnosed, but these past two days have been terrible. i constantly have this underlying feeling that i might do something that i think is gross and i feel like i can’t do anything on my own because otherwise i might do something wrong. like i feel like i constantly have to be in front of people so that i can make sure of my every action. this is so exhausting and I’m so confused. and like i keep getting terrible images and stuff replaying in my head. i also try to recall what happened but i feel like i have false event too. i used to have religious ocd and that eventually stopped completely, but now it feels like all my work getting over that was pointless. also like i feel like i might have contamination ocd but not the typical germ type. I just get terrible images and I can’t remember if those images are true or not even though they’re impossible and i feel terrible. I don’t know if i could ever get over this because even the thought of it is terrible.

Today I was officially diagnosed, and a lot of my thoughts all day have been “man, what if I actually don’t have it and I exaggerated my symptoms or something.” I had this thought especially because I hadn’t had a really bad episode in a while. But then sure enough, I had a little episode tonight. I feel like I might’ve brought it upon myself, at least in small part. Having difficulty separating OCD paranoia from real life problems to be considered with at the moment 👎🏻 Gonna sleep on it! 🙏🏻❤️

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
