You are definitely OCD..I just don't like the diagnosis of OCD because it rarely or never is something that not related to another issue. I've never met someone with OCD that does not have some other disorder/condition. I see OCD as more of a symptom of many other possible underlying condition. That said, therapy will help. So will medication.
You are obsessed for sure. Yet, that obsessiveness would not exist if it were not for something else that you are struggling with that needs to be addressed.
One of the main purposes for OCD is to distract us from that which really ails us. Then the OCD itself begins to hurts us as well. Same with Denial. We have this protective mechanisms but they usually end up hurting us even more than we already are.
