Re: Self diagnosed mental issues

This. I spent years thinking I had anxiety when in fact it actually turned out to be OCD that manifested itself as the "pure o" form, meaning that I have obsessions but no compulsions that go with them. I would never have guessed that I had OCD without a doctor diagnosing me because I thought OCD always involved stuff like constant handwashing or having to check and recheck things and I never did any of that.

Wow, I'd never even heard of that being a possibility. Definitely not something I would have thought of on my own if I were in your shoes. Hope things are better now for you.

They are, thank you! My psychiatrist and I were able to find a medication that worked for me, and between that and therapy, I'm now at a point where I no longer even need the meds. I'm so glad that I went to see a doctor because I'd never heard of it either - apparently it's far less common than the typical form of OCD, so there hasn't been much research done into it yet. But it's easy to see how someone who has it could think they have anxiety if they're constantly worrying about things, which was the case for me.
