Yes omg, Like sometimes I want a diagnosis and just to talk to someone. I totally agree and also yeah Im 18 and my family doesnt understand OCD and have made jokes and inaccurate statements so its hard sometimes to hear it. I doubt EVERYTHING as well and I think this app reading peoples stuff has helped a little to better understand others experiences. Thank you for commenting. People reply fast and are open about things here which is nice. I just think its one of my biggest obsessions and I know others doubt even their diagnosis too and you know....its okay. Its hard to feel you arent faking shit or things arent real or something like that. Anyway I hope things get easier for you.

hey i completely understand how you feel. this is my story: i read up on ocd a while ago and felt like it made sense. then i had a mental breakdown in front of my mom (LMAO WHOOPS) and told her everything that happens in my brain that i hadn’t said outbound before (mostly symptoms that i didn’t know were symptoms lol, intrusive thoughts, counting, physical compulsions etc). we went to my therapist and she basically said she thought i had ocd. she couldn’t OFFICIALLY diagnose me but she thought i did. after that i felt like i was faking it for attention. like i just wanted attention and none of it was real. then i researched it more and doubting diagnosis is a big symptom. and then i doubted more. and more. and more. until about two months later (literally this monday lol) i went to the psychiatrist and she said “there is no doubt that this is ocd.”. she diagnosed me and put me on zoloft for ocd and depression and anxiety (and all the other shit lmao) and i still doubt it. but other times i remember that my whole life i’ve dealt with this. and i remember all the times i’ve struggled because of it. and i realize that it’s real. sorry this was really scrambled and weird of me to reply and just odd overall. but idk anything abt you but i’m guessing you’re a teen, like me, and i know it feels good to be reassured.

I havent been diagnosed either and Im afraid Im just pretending. When I came across the term rOCD everything I was going through made sense to me,but since Im not officially diagnosed Im scared I dont really have it and I just dont want to accept my feelings. Stay strong!

How to know if you actually have it or if I’m just making up the symptoms? I have a lot of intrusive thoughts constantly and even have a “theme” but it really surged after I search up what I was experiencing, but then again I search up a lot of what I experience and constantly have to recheck things. My parents say I’m normal but I know I’m not, (both of my siblings have adhd) I find it immensely hard to focus from turning 17-18. Please let me know what you think l! Thanks!

Hey, so I've never actually been diagnosed with OCD. I did a little bit of research, I always thought OCD was organizing things. But I'm not normal, I have this thing where I feel something isn't right. I obsess over it or if I brush my hand over something correctly then it's fixed. Or I have to do this thing on stairs, I'll walk up a few or down them because something isn't right. I read this thing on memories. I know something happened, but then I doubt myself to the point I don't know if it happened. And I think too logically in relationships. I'll put statistics on things and if they might not work out I distance myself, there's other odd things I do. My family always told me I was fine but then said things like I was messed up, and said to just ignore what I felt. Like I was making it up. I don't know what to do, I don't have a doctor currently, I was never diognosed. Is there a way to be sure I have it? Or a way to stop everything? I just want to stop everything, please and thank you. Sorry for the long post. If anyone can help, I would be so thankful.

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.
