I'm more annoyed then anything. please help?!


Question:

I'm more annoyed then anything. please help?

i'm only 15.

okay for as long as i can remember, i've done these weird little things. like i always have to walk over cracks, and i tend to repeat number sequences and certain words in my head over and over. i though tit was ocd at first, but i'm not afraid of germs and i don't have an obsession with washing my hands or even numbers. one of the big things with numbers is the sequence "1, 2, 3, 4, 1" over and over. when i type i have to back space and retype four times, then one extra time. like, say i type "help" i type it once, backspace the "elp" retype it again, and then back space the "p" and retype it. UGH! i can't help it. if i don't do it, i get really scared. it's so annoying! it takes me twice as long to do homework and tests because of erasing. then i feel stupid. i have anxiety problems (idk if it's related) i also have to repeat some things after i say them and if someone says something that triggers my urge, i pretend i don't hear them so that they repeat it. help?

Answers:

I couldn't say it any better than others and not just to get two points by answering your question. You said that type numbers in sequence, which reminds me of someone who used to have to read a positive word in the newspaper for every negative word that he read. But when you say that, "If I don't do it, I get really scared," then I am really suspect. That's the problem with OCD. You repeat patterns over and over, not to feel good, but to stop from feeling bad. And you and I both know that that's no way to live. I wish you the best and hope that you can get some help while you're still young.
