I have already written on the main forum, but I feel like teen still cause I am 18 and my firs OCD experience started while being around 5 I had a break in OCD for a few years though.

Probably most of you are much younger then I am but when I was 12 13 14 i still felt like I am feeling right now. Did you feel afraid of tellign your parents.

I cannot tell anyone about it, and I know I will not. I am too ashamed of OCD to share my secret. Did anyone feel like this? What did you do eventually? Did someone manage to get over OCD without anyone knowing about it?
I am confused and really tired.

Best wishes to all of you!

Hi boowoo,

Welcome to the forum.

There are quite a few teenagers like yourself on the forum, but most of them tend to use the OCD forum as opposed to the Teen forum as it's a bigger forum.

Most of us initially are afraid to tell anyone about our OCD including our parents, family and friends so you are not alone in that respect.

OCD is confusing and very tiring and a lot of us felt to ashamed to say anything and so struggled on regardless just making the situation worse.

Personally I have found the forum so friendly and have been able to share a lot of my OCD problems with others. Every time I thought, 'Well no one else will have that particular problem' I was amazed to find there was always someone else that did.

Keeping your OCD to yourself isn't helping the OCD you need to share with people that are going through the similar problems. It really does help.

You can remain as anonymous if you wish, but please do join in the forum. Consider it your first step to recovery

You can send me a private message if you prefer not to discuss your OCD on the forum, just click on the blue box saying 'send message' under my name next to this message and it will direct you to a page where you can send a message to me.

Best wishes

Trudy (Truddles)
