Pure ocd?

Can anyone who has ocd maybe tell me how you found out you have it? I have intrusive thoughts and im worried its ocd which is of course causing me anxiety. Im afraid to google becausw thag never ends well for me.

I suffer from ocd and I personally find the only thing that showed down my thoughts was prozac . I hate medication but it has helped my intrusive thoughts and the panic that follows them . Cognitive behaviour therapy has helped a bit but with ocd I find it makes me anayze even more .I found out I had it when I was 11 but it got out of Control this year . I was getting obsessive agressive thoughts that terrified the shit out of me . Convinced myself i must be some kind of horrible person . I also obsess that if i think it it will happen or must be true . I remind myself hourly . Their just thoughts their not who I am .. hope that helps and I can sympathize with you . Take care

Mine was I dropped a screw down the back of my kitchen worktop, and something in my head said you better get that or something bad will happen. So there I was taking work top off cupboard out found the screw put everything back. It escalated from there I was doing daily rituals like counting steps, bleaching worktops, washing pots 5times on 1side five times on the other repeating them until my mind told me ok you done that . I finally went to the doctor and he said I had it, still do after 35 years, I hope you don't have it wouldn't wish on my worst enemy. Anytime you need to ask anything don't hesitate xx I'm always on xxmandy

Yes I've learned to live with it part of my life now, on top of anxiety and panick attacks, I'm so glad you don't have. It. OCD is a repetitive illness repeating over and over xx mandy
