The key is to stop asking that question. Instead: learn to see how it feels and acts.

Well to answer the question indirectly, if we fixate on what is OCD and what is not we can "develop" meta OCD, OCD about OCD. And there exists anxiety about anxiety, etc. I've learned from professionals that the key is whether it causes _dysfunction_ or disorder for you. If it does, then professionals can help provide guidance, diagnose, etc.

@A23 Weirdest part is I think my whole life I’ve had something, just last 3 yrs THIS time of year it flares up bad, just everything in general? Stomach feels funny, then just goes away.,

Is this OCD or just...me?
I'm really struggling to figure out where my OCD ends and where I begin. I’m scared of most things—not in a panicky way, but in a deep, cautious, worst-case-scenario kind of way. Example: I haaaaaaaaate my spectacles. I’d love to do Lasik, or even just wear contacts, but the idea terrifies me. I’ve heard about the tiniest risk of blindness or infection, and once that thought is in my head, it takes over. I picture the worst, and then I don’t act. TRIGGER Also Lasik involves cutting TRIGGER which petrifies me. I’m stuck between wanting change and being too afraid to make it. The same goes with wanting to travel but being scared I'll be trafficked or someone will plant something in my bag & I'll get arrested overseas. No amount of praying will fix it. Does anyone else feel like their OCD makes them freeze in everyday decisions? Like you can’t tell if you're just being practical or if it's the OCD gripping the steering wheel again? Maybe it's just me. Maybe it's not OCD but my personality, that's what I'm trying to figure out.
