So I was doing really well up until about a week ago. I was feeling better and the thoughts were starting to come less, but then I got the thoughts: "What if you just gave this to yourself?", "What if you're actually a lesbian who didn't have ocd but then found it and have now convinced yourself that's your problem?". Those are scary thoughts because I never remember having ocd before, like I've always had bad anxiety and when I was little I was always afraid of getting cancer or some other disease and I would ask my mom if she thought I had it and even went to the doctor a couple times because I wouldn't shut up about it, but I just thought that was me being a hypochondriac. I have pretty much stopped all my compulsions except for checking this website and it's proving to be the hardest one to get rid of.

Literally sounds like my life story. I was a huge hypochondriac as a kid, and still can be from time to time. See, I read in an OCD book that it is SO common for OCD to start in late teens to early twenties. I believe you and I have OCD, even if we completely doubt it. Hypochondria might have just been an early sign of it. I know not looking online is difficult, it gets easier though.Trust me, trust that you have OCD. Turn off your internet if you need to!!!
