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

Yes! A lot of people seem to think OCD is just obsessing with cleanliness or order, but actually OCD does come in many different forms.

Yes, and there is perceccionism too, that is a variation of OCD. Maybe you should do some research to see if it fits for you :)

every OCD case is different than others , if you see one case of OCD , you actually saw only "one case" of OCD

From my experience OCD is very personal and reflects the person. The the compulsive behaviour is very individual although lots of people use the same variations; it may be handwashing over and over or turning a light on and off, or perhaps everything has to be in a line or the bottles have to be straight, or perhaps you have a collection of items that have to be in a certain position. It is individual as you are an individual. And please don't think that you are a stereotype, you are special, you are an individual.

Obsessive compulsive disorder can appear in many, many various ways, and it is different for everybody. It is not only about washing your hands two times or organising clothes in color order as you see it in movies. It can be related with the fear of germs or getting dirty, but every person has different symptoms. Sometimes the 'Obsessive' part is more powerful than the 'Compulsive' part, so you don't necessary have to act these things out to have OCD. In some cases it happens in your thought, for example counting over and over again or planning your day minute by minute. Don't worry if your symptomps aren't like others'. Mental illnesses affect people differently, so there is no reason to be ashamed :)

Yes yes yes! There are so many different forms of OCD. Some people's OCD is harm related, others is directed towards sexual abuse and others is more compulsive than obsessive and the other way around.

Yes. I have OCD and I don't clean things or do a lot of stereotypical things. Have you been diagnosed by a doctor? You shouldn't self diagnose

There are many varieties of OCD and symptoms shown by patients diagnosed with it. While one person may have obsessive behaviors in scrubbing their hands clean after touching something, another person may have obsessive behaviors with particular thought patterns or intrusive thoughts.

Yes there are many many different types of ocd . Your not alone and many people suffer from various types of ocd.

Yes, there are many different types of OCD! There is contamination, religious, checking and intrusive thought just to name a few. Stereotypes aren't very representative of OCD (:
