I think part of why I doubt my OCD diagnosis is because my OCD seems so different in comparison to the "classic" OCD symptoms you can read about on the internet etc. Not sure why I'm doubting the other diagnoses. I'm sure I've got them but at the same time I don't know if I'm telling the truth or not.

I think the best thing to do is understand that OCD is not one thing. I got stuck in thinking that I was just insane because everyone taught me OCD had to do with cleaning, fearing germs, etc. Which is true for a lot of people with OCD. But, OCD is a spectrum. For example; my OCD manifests it's self with intrusive thoughts + rituals to counter those thoughts. My brothers OCD involved skin scratching, so severe he had over three staph infections. OCD is like a finger print. It is different for everyone!
