Apparently I have OCD but I feel like such a fraud all of the time. All I do is touch stuff. I have intrusive thoughts too, but they only bother me part of the time and it's not all too serious. Everyone else has such a problem and I've been doing this since I was five so I just feel fake, you know? I hate going to therapy because he's trying to solve a problem I don't have and this whole thing is making me feel awful.

I'm sorry. I feel like that a lot of the time too when I read some other posts on here. Especially because I was only diagnosed as "borderline OCD" when I was a teen, something I've always felt wasn't quite accurate. But then again I can relate sooo much to almost everything in this particular forum and I think had I been 18 the diagnosis would have been OCPD/OCD. I'm sorry therapy is making you feel that way, why don't you ask about it? tell your therapist you don't see that there's something to fix, and see what he says?

I can appreciate that; I feel similarly about something else. The thing is, there's always someone worse off than you, but that doesn't mean you and your problems don't matter.

Yeah, it doesn't help my therapist told me I didn't need to see him anymore. :s
