Hi my names Allison I am new here and I have been diagnosed with OCD through 6 questions in a online test, I got 5/6 and I am very much in fear, I just turned 14 and trying to reach people with similar problems So far the symptoms I've recodnized by myself are My OCD Symptoms Long showers Flickering lights or switches Creating unwanted balance in random objects Redoing everyday things at a specific value Counting for no reason Suicidal thoughts Feeling like you are a danger to the ones you love Repeating words unnecessarily at a certain value Easily getting mad Mentally hurt or torn down at most times I don't know if anyone here has anything in common with me but I hope someone can help me get through my experiences

i share similarities with you, you will be okay i promise. try seeking professional help, it really goes along way. the first step is asking for help

i’m quite similar to you, i’m about to be 15. did a quiz diagnose you or a psychologist? i recommend getting CBT (cognitive behavioural therapy) from your local kids mental health institution.

Puberty goes from 12 years old till 18 years old! Even though you don't feel any body changes there's always mental changes! I don't want you to feel I am doing a diagnosis. but just for you to feel that whatever is the sad thought your having, it will change and it will have ups and downs and suicide is not the solution! Find a therapist or someone you trust to talk to! I wish I had done that when I was your age! I wouldn't be with this age where I am!

Talk to your parents about seeing an OCD Specialist. Even within the mental health world, OCD is still widely misunderstood. If you see a specialist, they can give you a proper diagnosis and the best treatment options. Don’t wait to get help: you can feel better and get through this with the right therapies! You’re so young and if you can learn to cope with OCD now, your life will go so much smoother than if you wait. Also: life for anyone your age is hard, OCD or not. Remember that you’re doing the best job you can with what you’ve got, and that you’re doing great.

I think you shouldn't be afraid! I've already been through puberty and at that age is impossible not to have this kind of thoughts! I think you should start looking for help, but don't assume it's OCD! Your too young to attach to something like that! From what I remember I hated my puberty! But that's a good thing! It's a hard time! You finally learn what's good and bad! You finally start thinking about your emotions and not only feeling them! That's why your thoughts are common! But be sure you don't act on them! Your too young, you don't need to throw your life away! From what I remember is very normal to have confusing taught at your age! In my country we have a poet which talks about the childhood innocence and he recognises that when we are young we just feel! But he says that you know your growing when you start thinking about emotions! That's the beauty of growing and in a few years you'll look backwards and think those thoughts were what made you who you are! Don't quit on life
