Is it possible to have OCD when I don’t have strong compulsions? My mind obsesses over my social awkwardness and I’m constantly thinking of different scenarios, what people are thinking, etc. I also overthink everything. And I mean everything. I know it’s a lot more than most people, even those diagnosed with generalized anxiety. I can’t stop, it takes over almost all day, and it’s started to cause insomnia as of recently. I’m not asking for a diagnosis I just want an idea of what’s going on inside my head. Also, I don’t think it’s ADHD because I’m not impulsive and I don’t take many risks at all.. it’s mostly a problem with inattentiveness because my mind is elsewhere.

i apologize if my comment came off as insensitive, it wasn’t my intention. i’m only beginning to research these conditions. thank you for pointing out my mistake. and i appreciate your response :)

@hdemetreshon It's okay! Goodluck on your journey and seek out therapy!!♡♡ it gets better.

Hi! I’m a therapist and I also have OCD and have had GAD in the past. I think before looking into GAD we need to rule out if you are doing mental compulsions, because the treatment for GAD and OCD are different. Mental compulsions are things you do in your head that keep the thoughts alive. Mental checking, reviewing, trying to collect information, self reassurance, scenario twisting, etc. check out this article and all of the other amazing articles on this page
