Ok, ever since I was first diagnosed almost fifteen years ago, I've questioned the OCD diagnosis. Generalized anxiety sure, depression yup, PTSD took some convincing but OCD? Really?

My therapist convinced me to accept it and others have confirmed it over the years but in the back of my head I've always thought, it's not really OCD. Even as I learned about OCD not necessarily meaning compulsions I thought, nah, not really. Hell, I don't even include it in my signature here even though I've been diagnosed with it.

I just read in an article by a person with OCD that denying you have OCD is really common. Is that true? Because I'm beginning to get the feeling these therapists were seeing more of me than I was giving them credit for. So is it true?
