OP

[(Anonymous)]

In order to qualify for a diagnosis of OCD, you can have either obsessions (not necessarily focusing on details, as such -- just unwanted mental fixations, such as being terrified of carrying some horrible disease without knowing, for instance) or compulsions (the rituals you described) or both. I have both.

My OCD was definitely worse upon its onset when I was about eleven years old than it is now, but it fluctuates quite a lot -- which is not to scare you! Sometimes people do really just have a rough time of things in terms of mental health without its being tied to a particular disorder.

ah, thanks for the clarification, OP!

Re: OP

Isn't being scared of a horrible disease a disorder in itself, such as hypochondria or illness anxiety disorder? I'm only asking because I just last week had my introduction meeting with a therapist specifically for this kind of thing, and I always considered it to be the illness anxiety disorder that was bothering me (which is making me obsessed about that particular thing), but an 'unwanted mental fixation' definitely sounds right as well.
