can someone with ocd be dirty

i have erry single type of ocd apart from the cleanning one. i am the dirtyest person you will ever meet. but then i feel that my dirt is to do with my ocd because i feel my immune system will improve if i am dirty.

I wondered the same thing because my apartment gets so cluttered. I'm trying so hard to do better but the fact that I don't obsess over cleanliness had me questioning my diagnoses as much as it fits in other areas. I think it's totally possible to be messy and still have OCD. I definitely relate mostly to what is known as "pure o" cause my mental rituals are nuts. I hope you get the answers you need. I'm curious too.

i just realised i bacame dirty when i started my science classes and realised that people where more likely to be ill if they were too clean. my dirt became like my protection and i felt if i became clean my immune system would weaken. its pretty bad to be so dirty but i think i would actually be scared to become clean as ever single clean people i know are always sneezing and always ill. i am never ill and never at the doctor. i dont even catch cold and it is due to my dirt. i really need to work on this as it is affecting my life and relationship.
