Hello. I would like to state that no one one here can diagnose you in any way. You should speak to a mental health professional about this.

My advice:

What type of obsessions? Many of things listed can be related to other disorders. I know some things on the Y-BCOS are starred because they are unsure if it's caused or related to OCD. Fear of doing something embarrassing is more social anxiety to me. Fear of losing things is related to AD/HD more than anything else. Checking for it again though is a symptom. Fear of saying certain things is an iffy one for me. The others are though.

Just to let you know, topics and intensities can switch though. When I'm stressed, my OCD is even worse than my social anxiety, which is abnormal for me. I used to just have checking-rechecking, but I now have handwashing. It's weird like that.

The obsessions have to be irrational, and if it is rational, then it is unlikely to be OCD. Like if you have to check a stove 44 times to make sure that your house doesn't burn down than that is OCD.

Again, I am not a professional, and if you are concerned, which to me you sound like you are, then talk to a mental health professional. Good luck [emoji3].
