Ocd help

Does anyone have any experience with OCD?

I've never really been very well informed about it but recently when reading up I have resonated with a lot of the OCD experience. I spoke with my therapist about it and he agrees a lot of the way I talk and describe the thoughts I have could suggest I have OCD. I can't really see many physical compulsions in my past or current behaviour but I can definitely recognise mental "checking" and compulsions, though not really sure if it's a compulsion. 

However, I keep doubting this (though I know doubt is often a part of ocd) I just always thought I was an anxious person and my experience was anxiety. I feel like I jsut think I might have OCD as an excuse for something? But maybe not. It's all so confusing and to be honest really scary.

Any advice people could give would be appreciated, even if it's just m your own experience with it.

 Thanks.

  • Euan, when I leave the house I have to check all the windows and doors are closed and locked, repeatedly. Also I have to check all the taps are turned off tightly, repeatedly...  I then check electrical items are unplugged, repeatedly.

    I have missed more buses and trains than you would believe.
