so i think i have ocd? i always get weirds thoughts that go against my morals/beliefs some incent pdf, etc and i'm always scared to talk about it because people think ocd is about cleaning stuff and my room is always messy... my fears also play a big part bc whenever i'm scared of the dark i tell myself i have to look at my closet and then my brain is like do it again and stuff and i don't know why my thoughts are always fighting each other if ykwim

is there a way to fix this? like if you're in a happier state of mind will my ocd be less?

its best to speak to a professional about this. when i started noticing ocd-like symptoms, i let my primary doctor know. and i got a paper saying i may have "unspecified ocd," and they directed to me to some offices nearby with doctors who are more fit for evaluating my symptoms i believe. it's difficult to "fix" something if you're not entirely sure what it is you're "fixing"

let someone know that can help you.

ocd does suck... a lot. i was diagnosed a few weeks ago and honestly it really helped me to learn more about myself. definitely talk to a doctor or some sort of professional; ocd is treatable with medication and a type of therapy called ERP! it's going to be okay, we've got this 🫂

ocd is way different from what people tend to say
ocd is like, going to wash your hand but there is this voice in your head which is telling you to "WASH IT ONCE MORE, WASH IT ONCE MORE" its a feeling you cant escape and end up washing your hands like 3 times

before you actually assume you have OCD do research and identify the right type of symptoms before going through anything

Yeah, people think it's mostly just cleaning. While, it's just repetitive or obsessive behaviour which our brain can use to cope with stressing situations. It happens outside of stressing situations too, like your instinct just tells you too.
