Hello:
Forum moderators here; thanks for posting. Unfortunately on this forum users can’t tell you if you have OCD or what your orientation is. Users are not medical professionals and don’t know you personally, so can’t provide this type of information.
To check if your assessment and diagnosis was done correctly, please look at the resources on our website, especially on our ASSESSMENT AND DIAGNOSIS pages, they may help you: https://ocdaction.org.uk/resources/assessment/
You can also contact the OCD Action Helpline to talk to or email someone who understands OCD should be diagnosed
Our Helpline volunteers provide confidential and unbiased information and support for people with OCD Most volunteers have personal experience of OCD; all understand OCD and how it should be diagnosed.
Contact our Helpline by:
- phone: 0300 636 5478 (this is a UK number).

You can also find out about support groups on our website. These offer a safe place where you can talk openly about OCD and support other people too. Our information about UK-based groups can be found here:
