OCD Action

Hi, I'm 17 and have pure o. Yes, I'm a girl. Ummm I have a loooooooooo:roll:oooooooong history with anxiety, fears and pure o. Starting back at the age of 5 my kindergarten teacher even told my mom that I would be on prozac by the age of ten if I stayed that way......guess what? I did but I'm not on prozac. Let me give you a somewhat-kinda brief-yet still excruciatingly long-story. When I was 5 I was deathly scared of weather change then when it was time for kindergarten things got worse. I had to have my teacher call my parents EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. during school so they knew I was there and that they wouldn't forget me. Next came another fear. I am the baby in my family so I was constantly worrying I was going to be alone one day.....I remember crying to my sister about this and her being dumbfounded that I would be so upset about something like that. Then I went through a guilt phase. I played with matches with my cousin one day and couldn't quit worrying about it so I cried and cried until I told. Then the guilt got a little worse. If I said something that I thought was a lie, id have to say the truth to myself in my head. If I had two apples and I had to give one to my sister and I were to find a a spot on one, I would take the other but then I couldn't do it I'd have to give her the other one or something might happen....a repercussion of sorts. Then my dad was diagnosed with cancer and my great grandpa, whom I barely, died. So my next feat, my 2nd worse fear, was that I was dying. I was a mild hypochondriac. I spent all of my wonderful summer either researching illnesses I thought I had or crying because I thought I was dying. I now have a new fear and theme that many of you probably aren't familiar with so I'll just end it here. Well that's about it. I'm sure I'll love it here. Feel free to ask me anything! Too-da-loo!

Hello Incognito welcome to the forums, as Blues said we're all nice here. I'm quite similar and can relate to what you're going through. You've made a huge step by coming on here. I'm 21 but have struggled with OCD since roughly the age of 6.

Hope you'll find some answers and progress here
