welcome to pc buckeye (saw that its your 1st post)...... i think for me i just felt blindsided, maybe because i thought the gad (which i was expecting a dx of) explained the checking and worrying. but a little while ago i took the ocd quiz here at pc and scored very high (maybe try the quiz, just for the heck of it?). i still think of ocd as involving major germophobia, having to close the door a certain number of times, etc...... but also, looking it up in the disorders section i gues i have some symptoms. maybe its just a mild case, though t seems very focused on it. anyway i'm glad you found pc, this is a good place, hope you will stick around........ good luck with the figuring out, i think we can all relate to that.....
