I have OCD, but since I got it under control with no rituals etc mostly it's become intrusive thoughts and cringe thoughts OCD instead. I feel like if you are cursed with OCD you have to accept it is going to manifest in one way or another, keeping it inside your head is probably the best outcome.

Just don't act on them and tell yourself they are ridiculous, you can then sort of train those away a lot and the urges become lesser and less intense. Meds can help too but as you know may come with side-effects.

Both with some not caring much and writing it down but still admitting I have OCD but sort of gets skimped over because depression has always been the main issue and I don't complain about OCD much. At times the intrusive OCD thoughts have been annoying from the disgust and cringe which almost seem to cause physical pain but overall I am OK. Some meds exacerbated it a bit in the beginning especially anything stimulating dopamine receptors but then went back to normal sort of usually.

Yeah I know, sometimes I have allowed for some OCD thoughts to win because sometimes it was really at least partially fed by your gut instinct and it turned out to be true in that moment. Those two things can be hard to know what is what or they feed into each other. But worst case scenarios you can try serotonin reuptake inhibitors and/or low dose partial dopamine agonists and see if that helps you a lot. I take low dose cariprazine for depression and it seems to help with OCD as well, after initially exacerbating the painful cringe and disgust of the intrusive thoughts.

I am also on lamotrigine, methylphenidate and a bit of selegiline. Overall doing quite alright/very improved for now. Less depression also makes the OCD thoughts feel less "painful".
