If my fear was true
Does anyone else think that they would just never act on it if turned out to not be OCD? Because I feel like that would be me. I just don't want it even if the ocd makes me feel like I do.

Same I feel the exact same way. This is not the lifestyle I want even though my brain is telling me something else

It would be me, and at the same time I am tormented by the fact of losing access to my preference, the thought of not being able to live a life keeps me depressed. And although I know that I would not act, I still have anxiety about ending up acting under an impulse, don't you feel that there is also a kind of pressure from society in that aspect? If you comment on what is happening to you, they would call you that you are in the closet or that you should experiment... Hey, I don't want to experience anything, thank you

Same! And then I’ll say to myself something like “are you seriously not going to try it if this is what you really want” so yikes

Yea me too. For me like, I get scared of the thought that i’ll have the urge to do something or if someone asked me what my orientation was, i’m scared i’ll say something i don’t want to say because of my ocd. Like Im just in my head so much everything feels awful. Recently i’ve been on dating apps and they ask for your orientation and I always put straight but because i’m so freaking scared that i’ll accidentally or impulsively put gay, I get so anxious and it’s like a never ending cycle. I have to always check 10000x that it’s not gay and then because i’m constantly checking, my ocd tells me it’s because I really wanna put that 😒 this just sucks man

I fear i don't have ocd
Cause I don't have those Extreme cases where I Need to wash myself 100 times, or check things like light, all I have are my thoughts.

diagnosis
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.

Is this OCD or just...me?
I'm really struggling to figure out where my OCD ends and where I begin. I’m scared of most things—not in a panicky way, but in a deep, cautious, worst-case-scenario kind of way. Example: I haaaaaaaaate my spectacles. I’d love to do Lasik, or even just wear contacts, but the idea terrifies me. I’ve heard about the tiniest risk of blindness or infection, and once that thought is in my head, it takes over. I picture the worst, and then I don’t act. TRIGGER Also Lasik involves cutting TRIGGER which petrifies me. I’m stuck between wanting change and being too afraid to make it. The same goes with wanting to travel but being scared I'll be trafficked or someone will plant something in my bag & I'll get arrested overseas. No amount of praying will fix it. Does anyone else feel like their OCD makes them freeze in everyday decisions? Like you can’t tell if you're just being practical or if it's the OCD gripping the steering wheel again? Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's not OCD but my personality, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
