I have both OCD and MAJOR DEPRESSION DISORDER!. I don't know where you live but you should be getting therapy along with meds!. I hope you are being treated by a mental health professional, not a family doctor!. Try looking online for support groups!. When you find one call them and tell them you need one for teenagers!. You do not need to be isolated and kept away from other kids!. You should be in school!. You can have a normal life!. I am 52!. I have been married for 34 years!.I am the mother of four kids and the grandmother of one!. I was diagnosed at the age of 15 before all the good meds, I went to regular high school and was prom queen! My OCD manifests with hair pulling!. Just picture NO EYEBROWS!. I have to draw them on!. You have to do the best you can with what you have!. No one will give you a good life, you need to work at making one!. My prayers will be with you!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

ok sweetie!.!.!. with OCD and depression you have double issues to contend with!. so a huge factor for you is attitude!. When you look at your life with the attitude and thought process!.!.!. "oh my life sucks" you will never make it up out of that slump!.!.!. I too am fighting with both those problems and a ton more issues to go with it
Believe me i know what I am talking about!. You got to be good at something, anything at all, take that talent and build on it!. Everyone is good at something, you may not see it so you listen to what other people tell you that you are good at!. You have to learn about yourself differently then most people do so listen to what they tell you and build on that information that is the best thing I can tell you!. LIke any disorder you have you have to learn how to live with it otherwise you can't live any quality to your life!. Hope this helped you some anyways Best of luck to you!. Gentle hugsWww@Answer-Health@Com

Does your dad know how you feel!? Are you getting any therapy!? While anti-depressants can be very helpful both for symptoms of depression and ocd, therapy can make a huge difference!. I personally have ocd (developed it when I was 19 and had the worst year of my entire life - I very nearly took my own life) but I am now hardly affected by it!. I never did take any anti-depressants, though my doctor suggested it!. I always thought of the drugs as a last resort that I didn't want to use until I had to!. I never did!. I did behaviour therapy!. It was hard and took a long time but it was a permanent solution!. At first, the anxiety was overwhelming - I was having panic attacks all the time!. After a few months it was only one or two things a day, then one or two a week, then one or two a month!. I'm now 35, happily married with 3 beautiful children and I can't remember the last time I was affected by ocd!. It's now second nature to me to use behaviour therapy without thinking so I never fall into the loop!. There was a time when I couldn't believe life would ever be good again and I just wanted out!. I was wrong!. Please speak to a therapist about behaviour therapy - it could change your life, believe me!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
