Berries, those are really good points, but I wanted to comment on one thing. You said, "And do you feel any compulsions along with the thoughts. Do you feel pressured to act on them? Do you act on them." Actually, while OCD does have compulsive right in the name, I have had intrusive obsessions without compulsions and my T said they were also part of my OCD. Also, I finally found an article online describing that very thing and those people also said it was a form of OCD, but they weren't professionals. Yet, they said many OCD sufferers online were complaining of this. I also had OCD with compulsions and the two got worse in unison and got better in unison.
