OCD definitely latches onto the “diagnosis of OCD” really bad for me too. Maybe, maybe not statements are helping me!

Even with a diagnosis, we still doubt it. It’s part of the ocd game.

I also struggle with that but with what I know about OCD if you keep questioning it after you received a diagnosis than you have OCD

@giuseppe Honestly my questioning it didn’t go away even after a diagnosis but I totally understand what you are feeling. I felt the same before I got a therapist. Hang in there! I figure, if you didn’t have OCD then you wouldn’t obsess over having it. 👍

I have also been diagnosed with OCD and I still question it. From what I understand, its common.

i’m terrified to get a diagnosis. What if it’s not actually OCD??? I made a list of reasons why i think so and then i think what if im lying and i actually don’t do this stuff and am just dramatic and i just want to have OCD so then my thoughts are justified?? I have struggled in the past year with Pocd & Rocd and then also some bits of thinking im constantly in danger or being watched? I’m scared.

i’m not sure (genuinely) if it’s a situation that needs to be addressed or if it’s ocd

Ok, so first of all, I’m undiagnosed. However, I’ve been pretty certain for a while now that what I’ve been struggling with is OCD. My problem though is that it’s not easy to get diagnosed, and in some cases, it would require me to pay money. It frustrates me that I have to pay to deal with my mental health. Is it worth it for me to get diagnosed? I know I don’t need a diagnosis to start healing and working on these things, but I also don’t want to be “self diagnosing” the problem, because that makes me feel like a liar and an imposter. My other problem is that I fear my family doctor won’t properly diagnose me. I came to him about mental health related issues once before, and he read off a very generic list of mental health symptoms. when he got to what sounded like the ‘OCD’ section, we asked one or two very generic questions that had nothing to do with my themes, and since I couldn’t relate, I just answered no to them. He then told me I was fine, that I was just a “type A personality”, and that I was just being too hard on myself. I fear that my doctor might not be very knowledgeable or up to date on current information regarding OCD, and this might make it increasingly difficult for me to get diagnosed. Another problem is my symptoms seem to come and go. I often have an obsessive cycle that can last months at a time, and then it just goes away. Sometimes I won’t experience any symptoms for years. This makes me feel like I don’t actually have OCD or that it’s not ‘bad’ enough to be diagnosable.
