Hello everyone my name is rebecca and ive had O.C.D since i was 10.
It would be great to talk to any of you girlies or boys as well to see if you are going through the same things as me as sometimes i feel im the only person who suffers this awful thing.By the way i call my O.C.D Blob Devil because its not me doing all these rituals its Blob Devil making me.Its hard to fight Blob Devil everyday and school is getting harder for me too, does anyone feel the same ??

I fell exactly the same, and i call my ocd amy. i have counseling at school and i do boxing to relieve my stress, cause otherwise it gets to me really bad. sometimes i cant go out my ocd is so bad. iv had ocd since my dad left, when i was 4. it got worse last year because my mum got swine flu & pneumonia, so i was worried cause of infection and contamination. ocd is pants, isnt it?

i am not in your age group, but i think by labeling your ocd... you may get more into magical thinking...if you can just think of it as an illness...that many of us have..then you know what you are dealing with..just a thought.

Hi Rebecca, my ocd came on strong around 11 when i was changing schools & my lovely nan died. I'm now 36 & its still a problem but in the last 4 years or so i've had various therapy that has given me 'tools' to stay out of ocd much (but not all)of the time. I think it'll be good for you to address it now and get the 'tools' needed to help because willpower alone can't help fight this illness. then hopefully it won't get as stuck into you as it did me. Happy to suggest good books for you to read depending on your main type of ocd. I am prone to fear of losing people or things but used to be a counter and checker. PaulK
