I need help figuring out if i have OCD

So my mom doesn’t think that i have OCD but i think i do. I also do have anxiety medication, and aren’t there some types of OCD that involve anxiety? I also have been feeling a little bit depressed lately struggling to love me and my body. I feel like i don’t belong in the world anymore. I started feeling depressed around 6 months ago before that i was doing fine. I also struggle getting out of bed, i cant get up to do simple tasks like throwing away trash or brushing my teeth. Some things that always trigger me is that when I’m with someone and they use the bathroom but don’t wash? It makes me feel so sick inside. I also need everything to be PERFECT like if my phone is a tiny bit crooked i HAVE to fix it or else i get anxious. My mom also told me since i have a messy room i don’t have OCD but i looked it up on google and it said people with OCD can also have messy rooms. I did do a test online for OCD and it said it looks like i have OCD. And i also get very mad if my brother messes something up. Yeah so I don’t know, do you guys think i have OCD??

OCD can involve so many different things. It’s quite possible you have it, but to know for sure you’d need to be diagnosed through a doctor or therapist. You can find some great insight on this app. I find that depression often goes hand in hand with my OCD.

@KenzieeeSchmidttt Yeah getting diagnosed would be helpful. It sounds like you maybe starting to develop ocd ,watch out to see if the ocd gets stronger or more intense. For me my ocd really got bad in my early twenties. Stay strong whatever mental illness you have you can overcome it.

I am unable to tell if you have ocd based off the information but people with ocd can be messy in fact most hoarders have ocd. A lot what to described sounds like high level depression, I am sorry depression is painful. Having body and self esteem issues is normal sadly most people including me don’t like themselves. I know people say types of ocd but that is miss leading ocd is ocd , there are different obsessions, and compulsions people do. From this message it is hard for me to tell if you have perfect/one way obsessions or just thing organized. Ocd often gets miss understood as being organized when really is being mentally unable to move on if something is wrong or unable to leave to house because it not the way it should be to you. Form by understanding people who develop OCD through childhood, it starts out with small OCD like tendencies and ends up growing into OCD.

There are so many subtypes of ocd, if you know you have anxiety, I would pursue a diagnosis from a counselor. Be honest with them. Many types have messy places that they are afraid to touch without completing compulsions, ocd can look so different for people, sometimes it takes a long time to recognize.

If your mom was willing to book a free phone call for you through NOCD, you can get the process started to get you diagnosed. NOCD can give you clear diagnosis. It's easy. I think I was diagnosed in one session. They do all their work over Zoom, so it's super easy. They take most insurance. Here's the link for a free call: https://home.treatmyocd.com/calendar
