I obsess about things sometimes, and have intrusive thoughts. Usually it's about therapy, and I'll obsess about the things we may talk about. I'll run through conversations in my head over and over, sometimes about the same thing, sometimes about other matters that we might speak of. Mostly I'll obsess about conversations I may have with others, situations I might run into, and the things I would do in those situations. Other times I obsess about what's wrong with me, or why I am the way I am. Sometimes I can control the thoughts, sometimes I can't. I'll consider a day a good day if I either don't have the thoughts at all or if I can control them by pushing them out of my mind (or simply trying not to think of anything at all).

I was wondering...is this OCD? I know usually OCD is obsessions WITH compulsions, but I can't think about what else this could be. Is there a name for something where someone JUST obsesses and nothing else?

Thanks.
