Could it be that I have OCD?!
Question: Could it be that I have OCD!?
I am 13 years old and one thing I really don't want to do, is go to the Doctors about this, because I have a vision of me going in there, telling the doctor the problem, them laughing and me coming out of the doctor's being told I'm being stupid when I still have the same problem!. So, if there's any doctors or anything here who can help me that would be great!.
Every night, when I have got into bed, every 10 minutes on the exact minute, I have to go to the toilet!. If I accidentally miss the 10 minutes, prehaps by a few seconds, I then have to wait until the next even number until I can go again!.
I have to shut the door at the right angle and if someone opens it, or goes through it, I have to get out of bed and shut it how I put it!. If the door's not in the right place, I feel like I can't sleep and I get very stressed!.
When I go to school, in the morning, I have a routine when I get up!. I have time limits of when to do things and an order in which to do them!. If I fail to do everything in that order, or I go over the time limit, I feel like I'm going to have a bad day at school or something bad's going to happen!.
Also, I have to go to school at a certain time, well I don't, but I tell myself I have to go at that time, and if someone rings me or I am late for any reason I get very stressed and angry and I feel like everything's going to go wrong!.
Thank you for your help!. I am from the UK, and I am a 13 year old female!.

it seems like you have a milder case of OCD, but if these things stress you out, you might want to take something to get the edge off your stress!. i have to take a much larger dose, you know you have a problem when it really starts controling your life, for example, sometimes when i see five cars of the same color pass by one after the other, i will turn around and go home, no matter how important the destination is!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Yes, without doubt!.!.!., the worst case of OCD that i have ever had to diagnose!.
Im sorry, but the only cure is to eat lots of vegetables and get plenty of exercise!.
Try running a marathon , it will keep your mind off of this stuff!.

The thing about mental problems is, they are only "problems" because they upset the person so much!.
Something is happening in your head, your thoughts, whatever - that you find so distressing you can't get through a day!.
That's when 'weirdness' or 'odd behaviour' becomes a mental problem!.
You go to the doctor because you're so bothered, and they try to find a way to 'ease up' the distress!. To make you feel a bit better!. Be it pills, talking, or exercises you can do to calm your mind, all they offer is techniques to ease the worry and pressure!.
So if you find yourself doing weird things, things that maybe scare you but don't cause you to miss school, hide from people, hurt yourself or others; then it's not That unusual or That bad!.
Maybe you're just under some stress and anxiety (word for 'feeling worried for no reason') right now, and when you work out whatever it is you're REALLY upset over, the rituals will become less imposing!.
If you want to talk to someone, call kidshelpline or start with a school counsellor!. Www@Answer-Health@Com

Yes you do, but to what extreme is what you should be asking yourself!.
I saw this whole thing on a show called True Life on MTV where these people were suffering from OCD in similar cases such as yourself; especially the routines that you MUST do to feel right!.
If you see a doctor they are professional, I'm sure they see this often, and will be able to refer you to the right specialist!. There might be something they can prescribe to you to help or in any case set you on course for help!Www@Answer-Health@Com
