some things i do are actual OCD symptoms, but without the diagnosis i can’t say i have it. is it okay to say i have OCD tendencies without a diagnosis or should it be avoided all-together?

Say it. The diagnosis doesn’t make it true; the behavior does. That being said yeah get a diagnosis for treatment options, work/school accommodation, and to have a definitive answer
