PLEASE HELP!?? ADVICE NEEDED⭐❌⚠

Okay so my parents don't really handle my ocd that well. For starters my contamination is getting worse (I'm 14) and keep exisivly washing my hands, or using toilet roll which is unfortunately really common. Now they are getting angry at me for using too much toilet roll... What do I do? There saying I'm ruining there lifes because of my ocd. I'm making there lifes miserable. And they don't COMMUNICATE or sit down with me and look me in the eyes and try sort it out WITH ME. they just go "STOP USING SO, MUCH TOILET ROLL" "you've broke another headset" "WE ARE ALLOWED TO BE PISSED AT YOU" and I'm getting self harm urges because there making me out to be such a bad person. Which obviously doesn't mix well with ocd.

Hey please try to stop yourself from the urge to self harm. I can relate because one of my parents don’t understand my ocd.

Have you ever told them that this is part of OCD and that you would like to speak to a therapist and that you need help?

Oh, such a hard situation🙄 It makes me sad to hear. OCD is enough in itself, you don't need that critizism from your family🥺 Is there any health care professional working at your school? Have you got a diagnosis? Have you met a therapist? Can you make call to NOCD for advice?Any other adult rekative you can talk to? Remember: you can't help that you have OCD, it's a disorder - You are strong writing here and venting this. They need to know that they make your OCD worse with their behavior. Hang in there. You are stronger than you know. Reach out for help.

I’m sorry you’re dealing with this. It can be really hard when the people in charge of supporting us aren’t acting very supportive. Are they open to the idea of a family therapy session? I think it could be beneficial to have a professional explain to them the difficulty of what you’re dealing with and how they can support you through it. (I recognize a lot of parents aren’t willing or don’t have the resources to take this step)

@ElusiveButterfly And for the self harm urges, what has worked for me to get past these urges is: Holding ice cubes in my hands, then throwing them at the bath tub as hard as I can (I stole this from a TikTok and am amazed at how well it works) Screaming into/punching a pillow Drawing on my skin with ice (the cold sensation really helps)

I had self-harm urges in the past. What did I do to weaken them? I told myself, when I was triggered to do self-harm, "You can do all the self-harm you want on only one condition: to keep your mind open to the possibility that self-harm may not get you the peace of mind you wish". And it worked. It wasn't easy, but opening my mind, when triggered, to the possibility I may regret later on having done self-harm weakened enough my self-harm urge to enable myself not to do it.

You can't explain OCD directly to your family. They won't understand. Try to explain it in your family's language.

Contamination OCD

I don't know what to do, my hands have become so numb and bruised because of constant washing hands, i have started hating each and every furniture around me, beacuse i feel they are not clean although they are being cleaned regularly but i cannot stop these thoughts. I clean my phone, bluetooth, charger with wet wipes each day, i don't touch any object around me, i am not being able to focus on my studies or anything else because of my ocd ihave stopped going out, everyone around me is so fed up of me. I have consulted so many therapists and been taking ayurvedic supplements too but nothing works. It is getting worse and worse, please if anybody can suggest me how to overcome these thoughts!

I don't think I can handle my ocd anymore

I can't stop thinking about ending my life. I feel like I'm not even living, I'm just surviving. Everyone is capable of being a person and functioning and I'm just stuck here avoiding everything. My psychiatrist said my ocd is severe and it will all take time and I'll start erp and I'm already on medication but I just feel so depressed and like I won't be able to handle erp and it's already too late for me. I feel inhuman, it's debilitating. My major theme is just fear or contamination, I can't even make myself a meal I can't touch anything in the kitchen. I get stuck in the shower for 2 hours and when I don't shower because I'm depressed I feel like a walking germ. My hands are a mess, my school work is shit, I avoid and avoid and I'm just so tired of "living" like this. My psychiatrist said they don't have any therapists available right now like.... excuse me? What do you mean u don't have any 😭 I honestly don't even know why I'm typing this becuase nothing helps, nothing ever will. I'm so deep into this I can't get out, my room looks like shit, I can't live in this body anymore, I really can't. I let everyone down, I am and will be such a dissapointment. I don't have any dreams or goals or passions I just wasn't made to be here. I don't know how or who to ask for help like there's nothing anyone can do, I'm already on meds. I can't keep being like this, seeing everyone judge me for acting insane.

I really need advice.

I'm 15 turning 16 soon and I'm 100 percent convinced I have ocd.. I have been having major symptoms since I was 13, the constant what ifs, rumination, compulsions, guilt, anxiety from intrusive thoughts. I tried to open up about it to my parents when i was 13 but they dismissed it cause they don't believe in mental health.. I really want to get better. My parents won't listen to me and I don't wanna tell a teacher at school cause that would make things worse as they would just tell my parents and obviously since I'm 15 I can't afford therapy.. I don't know what to do :(
