how can you tell?

How can you tell if you have ocd? My compulsive thoughts  happen so quickly sometimes I’ll question whether I put them there myself. This leads me to ask if I wanted the thoughts or not but I know I don’t

I don’t know if that’s the same for everyone with ocd?

Sounds familiar. Look up ego dystonic thoughts.
