I think you should talk to a professional about it. My OCD has always been there, but didn't get really distressing until a few years ago. Sometimes, if you can catch and work on early signs of OCD, you can prevent worse anxiety from it. If you don't have OCD, that's actually a good thing. It's not fun and it gets really bad sometimes. If you talk to a trained specialist, you may get more of a sense for what you're going through and what next steps to take 🙂

it technically is an anxiety disorder (but im honestly not even sure why it’s classified that way). so many emotions can accompany ocd, not just anxiety i.e. despair, terror, hopelessness, self hate etc.

For some themes my OCD manifests much more in depression than in anxiety. Other themes it’s shame and others it’s anxiety. OCD can bring out all the bad emotions.

what if it’s not ocd
so i was on instagram and it came up with other signs of ocd then someone commented this doesn’t mean you have ocd now im stressed that its not ocd background - i had so-ocd for a few years then got treatment for it but am now on the waiting list for further treatment for other stuff but i dont have another theme which makes me feel like its not ocd my day to day life consists of touching the door handle every time you go past it or someone will die, and inability to send emails without re reading loads of times and getting other people to check because im scared i wrote something bad but the what if it’s not ocd thought is triggering me now and i don’t know what do

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.
