Hi there,

I can't say what you have, as I'm not a professional. But yes, you can have OCD without compulsions. It is sometimes called "Pure O". I struggled with just obsessions - just intrusive thoughts that would come into my mind and make me live in a horror movie almost all day. I'd have intrusive thoughts about killing others, killing myself, incest, tons of stuff. I thought I was a monster. But when I learned it was intrusive thoughts, it started to make sense. I got a lot of therapy for it, and it definitely helped.

I personally have Bipolar w/ psychosis & OCD, so the combo is definitely possible. Maybe you could ask your psych about getting an evaluation, if they feel it's helpful. If not, your psych can just keep an eye on you, and how your illness progresses. I hope you find the answers you seek, as soon as possible.

If you ever wish to talk more, feel free to message me. I'm always willing to listen.
Thanks for this!
