Hi my names charlotte and right now I feel like im going mad! I am 21 years old and things in my life are great at the mo apart from this (OCD). I think I have it infact im certain I do but I really dont want to go to the doctor and be put onto pills.
Lately what im doing is:
Shopping If Im shopping I cant pick up an item and pay for it I have to pick up a few until I find one that is not bad. I dont know what bad means its just I have to find one that feels ok and then nothing bad will happen in my life!
Shoe Laces: I cant do up my shoe laces once I have to do it a few time before its ok and I do this with hanging clothes, Counting, Touching, Thinking, Repeating things.
When I was younger Id do certain things but all of a sudden its gone bad and its effecting my life I keep crying cos I just wanna stop it.
I dont think my mum or dad will believe me when I tell them I think their just gonna laugh and say dont be stupid.
My bf's been great and he sees me doing it and hes trying to help but when hes not there Im doing it again.
Everything I feel is like if I dont do this or that then something bad will happen to me. Its horrible!
I have read up about this and it says you can get this if you have had something tramatic has happened in the past to you? Which It has!
Please help me to understand more.
Thank You
