I thought that too until last month. I thought OCD was liking thing neat and organized and washing your hands alot.i knew nothing about other subtypes. I heard a podcast. Once I knew what to look for, I started realizing I had intrusive thoughts starting around age 8. Diagnosed last month at 45.
I hot diagnosed with generalized anxiety years ago and never questioned it until I started doing research on OCD. I also had no idea what I was experiencing wasn't normal. I thought everyone struggled the way I did.
