My OCD doesn't seem to fit the stereotypes. Are there different types of OCD?

Definitely! There are many different obsessions and compulsions, and they are not all written down as only the most common ones get mentioned. I would suggest you also ask a professional and make sure it is OCD and not something else. If you have already though don't worry, symptoms don't have to be mainstream!

Yes. there are some different types of OCD and it's completely normal if you don't fit to one of these = the stereotypes were created only to show the guidlines for people who are struggling with OCD or any other problem.

There many other disorders that have overlapping characteristics. Both the obsession and compulsive criteria must be satisfied.

There are many different types of OCD and some are not documented yet. Maybe if the doctors discover a new type because of you they will name it after you so it's not all bad. Having OCD is not anything very bad unless it is effecting your life and those around you. In that case I recommend you seek medical help. I have slight characteristics of OCD and going to a doctor really helped me get it under control. If you ever want any more advice or someone to talk to, don't hesitate to contact me.

There are many different types of OCD. The obsessions and compulsions are as unique as people who are struggling with them. It is not all about counting and cleaning.

Yes, there are different types of OCD, and different rituals that apply to each. For example, some people will wash their hands excessively, for others it will be things like constant checking or tidying/excessive house-cleaning rituals. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is often effective for treating this Disorder. Talking therapies can help too.
