Hey, I asked my parents about Obsessive compulsive in the last few months because i had heard about it recently, only once i started finding out information about it did i realise that i had been doing obsessive things for the last 3-5 years of my life, i always knew what i was doing was weird but never sought an answer for it. at the moment im 16, and i have strange things with numbers, at school i have to turn my lock up to 10 times before i can put in my code, at home, i have to brush my teeth in each section of my mouth, for e.g front teeth 5 times molers 2 times, i have to set my alarm on an odd number always preferablly 7 and 9 e.g 6:09 am. I have to wake up at certain times which i set my alarm for as well, I have to finish a movie im watching and change channels as the screen fades to black... and a whole heap more of things and other obsessive problems that i don't really want to talk about that interfere with my life and make me extremely stressed :s
The thing is, I don't know how to tell my parents, my dad denies it and even though my brother had it when he was young, around 5 years old, he still tells me im lying, im finding it hard to tell anyone about it and i want to get help for it because it is stressing me out extremely and at times break down and i don't know what to do and at the moment im just glad i can get this out
