I hate not knowing if it’s OCD or not. Any tips?

Observe the thought and label it "worry." Then let it pass. I also really love the exercise of visualizing the thought as an ice cube and imagine it melting on hot concrete outside in the sun.

Accept your diagnosis and try not to figure it out its another compulsion. Not easy...I hate it too.

Girl me too I think that’s the worst symptom of ocd however what I like to think is , I compare my symptoms with my current theme to my past themes . They usually all make feel and do the same thing . Depression, depersonalization, fear and confusion. And that how I conclude that it most likely is ocd . But of course there’s always that 1% that’s like maybe it’s not . But I think the best thing to do is just not care . Even though that’s hard to .. but I know it doesn’t feel like it but eventually your going to get sick of it being in your head and be like I just don’t care anymore . And it most likely will go away

At some point you have to make a conscious decision and decide it is OCD no one else can make that choice for you. You can live with the uncertainty that it might not be. This is the only thing that will help you get your life back, the discomfort of uncertainty is a worthy price to pay for being able to live the life you want. Remember certainty is an illusion no one can really be certain if anything
