Can Obsessions be about anything with OCD?

[Jajones7]

Hi all,

I'm going through therapy etc at the moment and I have pretty much been diagnosed with OCD by a psychologist. 

The only thing is my obsessions don't really fit the standard ones that seem to be discussed etc so I'm just wondering if I am in the wrong place?

 

So I basically just want to know of your obsessions can be about literally anything.

Absolutely, yes.

If you can imagine it, you can have OCD about it. Literally anything.

Yeah it could be anything.  Even obsessions of being in a forum everyday and/or video games.  I think those tend to be more addictions or well just something people enjoy doing which can be healthy even but it's also possible that some of them are obsessions.  

Did the psychologist specifically tell you what type of OCD you have?  You can type your diagnosis in a search engine and see if anyone has written or made a video about theirs to feel less alone maybe.  They might not exactly have your same obsession, but maybe they can still relate a bit more.
