Have you ever read about Real Event OCD or Responsibility OCD? I don’t want to project but I am guessing this OCD feels very real to you- because it’s good to be aware and not make reckless decisions while drinking. Try not to let it bother you too much. I know that’s easier said than done.

Same! Especially because my friends joke about me being an alcoholic (they’re all underage except for me) and it runs in my family. Just keep an eye on yourself if you have any risk factors.

Lots of people love alcohol and aren’t alcoholics. In fact: most.

Hey, I developed the same concern in December. It still feels pretty real to me, so I'm not sure what advice to give. But you're not alone

There's no need to feel guilty but you can't help it, you could always ask to stay at the persons house or organize a lift home. There's no problem with drinking alone, that's just how some of us are. But keep in mind it is good to drink with another person. This feeling will pass, you just have to keep in mind that this is your OCD and I know it's hard not to do compulsions, I know because I have it myself

If you like drinking you’re not necessarily an alcoholic. You’re an alcoholic if you use it to unhealthy degrees (e.g. drinking to the point blacking out or throwing up on a regular basis) or in unhealthy ways (e.g. to deal with emotions or do thing you wouldn’t/couldn’t sober.)

I'm obsessing hard over whether I drink too much right now. Last night I did get a little drunk, and was considering having a couple drinks tonight, but now I'm extremely anxious that I am or am becoming an alcoholic. I can't lie, I enjoy the feeling of being tipsy or a little drunk, but once I worry if I'm an alcoholic it's all I can think about. I always google and take those "am I an alcoholic" quizzes and today i got a result that i could have a mild alcohol use disorder. I know internet quizzes aren't a real diagnosis, but it was based off of the DSM5. But a lot of those questions I can't tell if I answer that way because I truly am alcohol dependent or if it's because I'm an obsessive worrier so that's why it's weighing on me. I know the simple answer is to just not drink! But I enjoy it a lot. And if I try to ignore my worries and just have a drink I think to myself "oh my god, you are an alcoholic, you're drinking even though you don't think you should be." ugh!

It sounds like OCD, especially using the quiz for reassurance.

Advice?
His so I have a question. Should I feel guilty for things I do like without thinking or naturally. Like for example if I’m around a person I find attractive I will naturally try to be funny or come off as attractive not in a bad way like it just happens I’m not usually aware of it until after it happens.Sometimes I do and say things without an intention it just kinda happens and then My brain after it will Be like oh you did that because of this and that. Or sometimes it’ll tell me I did it for a certain intention that I didn’t do it for, but it’s hard sometimes when I do things without a certain intention so then I can’t tell my intentions and I spiral but sometimes my brain is right and it makes me feel guilty because if I knew that’s was my intention I never would have done it if that makes sense. Is this part of OCD

Is it in my head
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 just don't 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.
