is this ocd?

is it maybe ocd?

I have a diagnosis of depression & aniexty
but a few have recently mentioned ocd I never thought of it before but now reading about it im like omg my childhood is explained..

let me know what you think..

Obessions:
a major one is my sucidial thoughts
say for instest when i overdosed on tynoel after that i would repeat in my head CONSITANLY
i need to take tynoel i need to die i need to overdose
and it would circle in my brain
that lasted until i did it again
then I got a new idea now its circling around everything that has to do with hanging is in my mind everything I see that even a little has to do with it a belt on somebody makes me think of it.

Another is I remember when I was little I was so scard of fire one day I went home for lunch and then went back to school I thought I left the stove on so the rest of the day till I rushed home all i could think of was omg i left the stove on and pictured the house burning down and was like paralysed by the thoughts. ( this happened mored then one time the stove was never left on)

or one thing sticks out, once the lights went out in the school lunch room and I was so scard someone would come in and stab me while the lights were out that one time I was scard to go in there again so I ate lunch somewhere else for the rest of the year id picture it happening over and over again.

A major thing that has happened all my life is id have conversations with people and then if i said the wrong thing or they got upset I would litterly think about it all night thats all I would think about like im such a horriable person or why would I say that the look on there face how they acted the whole conversation over and over

Compulsions:
I count like when things on the wall tiles on the celing the stairs i have to count when i go up and down them but its relaly nothing major. I make list for everything i have to write things down and see them i rather write then type things even if its something stupid i could quickly just write on the computer.


so im not really sure.. but any repleies would be appreciated

To me, it sounds like you have a lot of anxiety and depression (as you mentioned you've been diagnosed with in your post). Personally, I don't think that you have enough compulsions for it to be OCD. You definitely do have symptoms of OCD in your obsessions, but they can also be symptoms of anxiety and depression.

That's only in my opinion, others may disagree with me.
