I worry that what I'm worrying about is real and OCD is an excuse

Yea, for one, this is a common symptom and I have been feeling that way lately because I've been destroying my intrusive thoughts left and right and am between getting to my next obstacles/obsession but have to transition into the greater risks that come with that. This is why I feel not sick enough. But there are only two options really. Either I stand up and do something about the disorder to minimize its impact on my life as much as possible or I get along with it and don't complain. I think there's still a lot that I have to tackle and smash so I know what I'm gonna do. Shit, this sounds so fucking heroic. Just got done watching some anime. ?

Raphael I’ll have to look into usagi drop! The FMA I’ve seen I really liked I just haven’t gotten back into it again. Thanks for the advice and the recommendations.

I worry about this all the time! I thought I was the only one with this feeling and that I shouldn’t be bothering others when I don’t feel right.

Oh, well. I didn't watch anything new, because I can't afford crunchyroll and I feel too guilty watching on pirating pages. So I have to be happy with whatever anime free legal streaming platforms provide me with. ? I've been rewatching full metal alchemist: brotherhood, ToraDora, Danmachi and lo and behold shinchan. That little fucker has never been an appropriate character for a children's show. Hahaha I want to rewatch your lie in April so bad. It will destroy me again, but that's fine.

Raphael yeh I think I’m gonna watch your lie in April soon, my friends keep talking about it. And I watched some of FMA brotherhood because it’s on Netflix but I keep having other things I want to watch more. I’ve only been watching anime for a year so I’m still desperately trying to keep up. And I’m a sitcom enthusiast too so a lot of the time I’m just watching those.

I forgot to mention one that even helped me in wanting to grow up more, it's called usagi drop. I smiled through nearly every episode. I even told my therapist about and she was like That must've been one wild anime.

FMA is one of my favorite anime's ever. The plot is beyond good.

Unsure if OCD sometimes
I was diagnosed with OCD around the age of 6, subtype- contamination primarily. It calmed down as I got older and I assumed it had gone away, but also didn’t realize it can show up in other ways, and it still had been effecting me which I know now. I’m not 31 and I’ve been in therapy for a year and it’s helped a lot, although I sometimes get thoughts that what if some of the stuff I’m dealing with isn’t ocd and I’m exaggerating. I feel like thoughts will feel sticky and I’ll do certain compulsions but then the thought eventually vanishes if I do it a few times which makes me think maybe it’s not OCD since other people/friends I know would probably do the exact same thing. Not sure if I’m making sense, but I guess my question is if that thought comes up with anyone else? Just being unsure if something you’re doing actually is ocd or not.

Anyone else doubt that they do have OCD?
I'll start by saying, I have not been clinically diagnosed, as I do not have the funds to see therapists or psychiatrists in my current situation. Once I'm in a better spot, I very much intend to. That to say; after months and months of having issues with anxiety, specifically health related, my partner was the one that mentioned OCD. I did have some somewhat OCD related behaviors in my youth, though those likely could be explained by potentially undiagnosed ASD (as my mother is on the spectrum as well as a sibling, both diagnosed.) But I never considered OCD taking form in a health sense. I posted earlier about how I've had 4 days of pretty minimal anxiety and intrusive thoughts, and it has led me to doubt the OCD label I've been working at treating? I don't want to be the person that identifies themselves with a disorder they don't have, which is why I hesitate to self diagnose with OCD or ASD or anything else. At the same time, I've read that a lot of even clinically diagnosed people with OCD doubt their diagnosis. It makes me wonder if I will always have this doubt, and if that means it is worth it or not to get tested? I know that if I do, they can actually do ERP (whereas I've been self taught and self guided so far) so that would be worth it...
