for context, I’m a 13 (almost 14) year old girl. I’ve had bad anxiety since I was little, have no childhood trauma, and both my parents are super educated on mental health. Some things I mention will have TW’s before them. I’ve already suspected I have mild OCD for a while

I want to specify this isn’t substitute for a diagnosis, I just want to know if people with OCD experience things like this so I have a direction to go in if I talk to a professional. If this is against the rules, I’ll delete it

I’m just going to list my main symptoms with as much detail as I can and someone can tell me if they experience stuff like this

-I do a symetry thing with flexing the muscles in my warms, neck, legs, fingers, etc. A couple years ago it was more obvious and I did it 24/7, it got a way worse right before quarantine started, but I was able to figure out how to manage it. Basically it’s like I’ll slightly move a muscle a certain wat and it’ll feel uneven so I’ll do it on the other side &amp; count a couple seconds, then do it on both sides at the same time. It feels so uncomfortable &amp; uneven when I don’t fix it. It gets worse in an Anxious setting I think 

-I went through a month or so where it felt like my eyebrows were too tight. It would be very annoying and I would stretch/massage them alot

-I feel the need to check on things a lot and whenever I check on them more than once I’ll just close my eyes and like count to 4

-when I’m scrolling through social media (tiktok, insta, youtube, etc) I’ll check if I liked the video/ post above it over &amp; over again. Even when I’m sure I did/didn’t

-I constantly check my settings whenever I’m on my phone, even if there’s nothing to check. If it is something I need to check, its usually bluetooth and It’s never on so idk why I do it. Will feel weirdly incomplete if I don’t check it

(TW: intrusive thoughts about sex &amp; worrying about being a pedophile)

-this is going to make me sound like a really bad person, but I used to have intrusive thoughts about sex a lot. I don’t have any interest in actually doing it and I’ve known I was gay since I was little.

-I also used to constantly worry I was a pedophile for no reason because one time I was watching a documentary and it got me thinking about how anyone could be a pedo and you wouldn’t know, including yourself. I never did anything bad with those worries, and I eventually was able to shut them down

-used to worry people on games saw me as a pedophile over how I talked, moved in game, etc

(TW ends here)

-this bit could just be normal teen stuff, and I try my best to to avoid if, but if drama happens between me and a friens, I constantly think about it and analyze it and sometimes even after we resolve it, I still think about it. Idk if this is because I form really close relationships with people or what, but it happens

-I used to constantly worry I was having a brain aneurysm so I did lots of research about headaches and tumors, etc

-same thing as last but with heart attacks, strokes, and cancer

-theres more things that I’ve obsessively thought/worried over, but I’d rather not stretch this post more

thank you if you took the time to read this, I genuinely appreciate it so much :)
