Question:

I have OCD and I'm 14 years old. I have to touch things multiple amount of times or I think in my mind something bad is going to happen to me or I'll turn gay. I know it sounds weird but I cant stop it. When I scratch myself I have to do it a certain amount of times, while I count aloud in my head or when I shut my dresser I have to touch it 11 times, or when I put on deoderant I have to put more under my left arm than my right. Sometimes my OCD is so bad it makes me hate my voice and I don't want to talk to people or just completely ignore them. And also for some reason I have been suffering from memory loss, an example is that I can't even remember what I did yesterday or remember names that people told me an hour ago or yesterday in some cases. Getting back to my OCD I also try to be better than a person because I have to, even though I don't want to, I have to make people like me more than another person like my brother for some reason. Thank for your help. 10 points - Best answer

Hi. I am really sorry you are going through this!That is also very sad how your parents dont want you to seek help.Left untreated, obsessive-compulsive disorder can make your life unpleasant and unenjoyable. You may feel that you're being held hostage by OCD because you're unable to go about your normal routine and activities. School, work and social relationships all can suffer as more of your time is devoted to your obsessions and compulsive behavior.

OCD can also increase the risk of suicide because it can be so demoralizing and distressing. And it increases the risk of alcohol and substance abuse as people turn to unhealthy coping mechanisms. In some cases, OCD can cause physical complications. For instance, you may feel compelled to wash your hands so often and so harshly that you wind up with dermatitis.

There's no specific way to prevent obsessive-compulsive disorder from developing, since its cause isn't known. However, getting treatment as soon as possible can help prevent OCD from worsening.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder is a chronic condition, which means it may be part of your life for the long term. However, psychotherapy, medications and self-care can help you control OCD symptoms so that you can live a normal life.

Please take care, I wish you only the best! ;-)

ok **** your parents u need to go to a doctor your parents can get in deep **** for not helping you make sure they know that GO SEE A DOCTOR

Your gay, and the OCD is coming from the fact that you have not dealt with the fact that you are gay. I'm gay it is not the end of the world. Try listening to some ABBA songs.
