I have heard of people being diagnosed with OCD with just having obsessions. In my opinion though that would be GAD and not OCD but....

If you have both obsessions and little compulsions you could be on a milder scale. Of course, only a mental health professional can tell you what you have and don't have.

Also, is your compulsion for checking emails for something like because I didn't write my email perfectly/I probably made a mistake and I will be fired from my job and/or I check to see if I have emails all the time because if I didn't, I could miss an email saying the world is exploding or something like that idk? Because those thoughts and that compulsion could most likely meet the criteria of OCD. Again, check with a professional.

Also, it says you are diagnosed with OCD in your signature. Is it because you had a professional diagnose you? If so, are you asking people from here for reassurance? Sorry if this seems invasive. That was not the point. I hope this helps you though .
