the main thing that does keep me hesitant about whether or not i have ocd is that, while i absolutely have obsessions, and they are frequent and distressing enough they significantly impact my qol and make me genuinely suicidal, i have never really had compulsions. i know there’s like a thing where you can be diagnosed w ocd when you only have the obsessions, but ehhh it at least makes me wonder how likely i am to find a therapist who will take me seriously about it

#also tangentially related but most stuff i’ve found about Moral OCD specifically is about like…#religious (and definitely christian) ocd with more uh? secular #social justice etc stuff at best included as an afterthought or footnote #and i just can’t say that i experience any of that wrt religion #i know that it’s a thing and that it def CAN manifest in jewish ways too #(emphasis on orthopraxy and ritual cleanliness and such can be uh pitfalls lol)#but i don’t experience any of that it’s all secular stuff #the closest i get to it being relevant to jewish stuff is when i get it in my head that bc i don’t support immediate dissolution of israel #etc etc that i am an irredeemable person who should kms #but neither god not halacha have anything to do w that so
