Yes it is very possible to have ocd about having ocd but you just have to learn to talk back to your intrusive thoughts and then stop the conversation. Realizing they are just a concern or a fear doesn’t make them real and ultimately by spending time obsessing over whether you have ocd is just preventing you from enjoying the present moment. I hope this helps! Sometimes the what if game is a terrible game to play!

I'm a really high achiever, and I worry about my impairments being seen as an excuse too. I realized, no matter how I wish I was not impaired, I am. So, the people in my life are just going to have to accept I have impeding challenges in my life. But if they can, I will do my absolute best for them. I will show them I make up for what I lack with my amazing abilities as well. OCD is a relevant thing in your life and thats okay! Just give it your best and accept when you are impacted. You may find there is magic that lies in your capabilites that good people can still remember on your hard days when you can't show up.

Yeah same, like at first it was obvious that it was egodystonic, but now I'm like, it doesn't feel like OCD anymore, and If I freak out it's cause I'm making myself freak out

I suggest looking into the subtype of Meta OCD. It’s when your OCD gets OCD for some reason.

Is this happening to you?
Does anyone else ever feel like they don’t feel “bad enough” to have OCD, or that they don’t feel “the right way” for it? Or like they’re just saying they have OCD as an excuse? Because i was so much better for like 3 weeks now and now im on my period and i started doubting again. So because of that im scared that i was feeling to good and that my fear is actually true.

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.
