My counselor think I have Obsessive Thought Disorder but anytime I've looked up information it has came of OCD. Does OCD and Obsessive Thoughts go together. Or does maybe I just have the obsessiveness and not the compulsiveness? Thanks for any information.

There is a category of OCD where you hav the obsessive thoughts but not the actual compulsions (rituals). I don't know too much about it, sorry! However, I have heard of it before.
oooo Ive never heard of that. I have OCD but ive never heard of Obsessive Thought Disorder. Maybe you should ask your therapist next tym you see her. Sorry I wasnt more help!

And, the worst part is theres no-one else to blame.
Be my friend, Hold me, Wrap me up, Unfold me,
I am small , And needy, Warm me up, And breathe me.
I have OCD. But im not sure what obsessive thought disorder is. Is it uncomfortable thought you kinda cant get rid of? or do you have to do rituals to feel better?
My mom is a psychologist and she said that some people who are OCD have a thought disorder where they have disordered thought or perception. Perhaps this is what your counselor meant.
The one you love and the one who loves you are never, ever the same person.
I have OCD and I'm pretty sure obsessive thought disorder is like obsessive thoughts and intrusive images without the compulsions. I have intrusive images and thoughts and they can be really distressing *hugs* PM me if you wanna chat. x marie x

Thank you all, I can't really ask my counselor what she means becuase contradicting as it sounds she says she doesn't like diagnosing patients. I don't now. My obsessive thoughts are more like intruding and mostly ridiculous thoughts that are always there. Thank you.

Hey!
Many people believe, that thereīs no obsessing without compulsions, others say, thereīs "pure O"(only obsessing) and OCD(obsessing and compulsions).
I have OCD, so I canīt really help with that "pure O"-thing.
I guess, you have to find it out yourself!
Kiss, Liz

Reason: I added a proper smiley - sorry, must be my OCD.

There is no such thing as obsessive thought disorder. I was told something like I had obsessive thought disorder in the beginning, but it is just another way of describing Obsessive Compulsive Disorder.
Any kind of OCD sucks. I mean, you could say it's better to have the compulsions (easier I mean) because at least you get some anxiety relief, on the other hand the compulsions are said to feed the obsessions so you could say it's worse.
So that's a bit of a ramble. But ocd needs treatment. Don't leave it untreated, way bad idea. It might be hard to talk about with your counsellor if she's antidiagnosis, but maybe say something like 'you said last session something about obsessive thought disorder, what did you mean?' So sort of put it on her terms.
