Both OCD and a hoarding disorder?

[ogaanParticipant]

This is a bit complicated so please be patient with me, okay? I have been diagnosed “unofficially” with both OCD and a hoarding disorder. But am not 100% sure I have OCD. Most charities and hospitals say they have no knowledge of hoarding, as a disease or disorder… Getting a diagnosis of one disorder is like closing a window I opened on the other. Hard to explain, I keep going back to my GP and checking who can help but I’m living without a real diagnosis. I feel like 70% of the time I’m a hoarder and the uncertainty is not heathy. Anyone else in the same position?
