Personally many years ago when I was a teenager I would round up or round down my age using a 6 month window guideline for example if I was 15 and 5 months I would say I was 15 if I was 15 and 7 months I would say almost 16 . I found in most situations this worked out ok .

Sorry you're feeling this way. Have you talked with your therapist about it?

@Clara_and_ellie That is a valid concern. For me, therapy has worked great! I have told my therapist some very personal things and have not experienced any judgment.

@Clara_and_ellie A therapist will give you more personalized help. I hope you will consider it. I believe it has the potential to help!

Hey.I have OCD and have seen many therapists over the years and I am also a therapist and have seen many people as clients. 1 yeah def sounds like OCD with all the focus on the numbers and the specificity/ accuracy of the numbers and what they mean etc . 2 therapy is so helpful and you can totally do it no matter how shy. I've seen everything as a therapist and it's totally ok. Any decent therapist will be non judgemental and be able to help. You owe it to yourself to get some more help and support. Oh and also I talk to chat gpt myself at times but it is just not a therapist and gets it wrong so often bc it's not good at nuance and really getting it fully

How are you, my friend? I understand what you’re feeling about the anxiety around age. But I believe that age is just a number. I remember thinking about it when I turned seventeen—actually, seventeen and a half. But when I was sixteen, I really enjoyed that time. Life moves so fast; I remember it like it was yesterday. Now I’m eighteen and about to turn nineteen, and honestly, I don’t want to enter my twenties feeling like I haven’t done anything. So I think it’s okay to talk to a therapist—trust me, you will feel better. You still have so much time ahead of you. Enjoy your teenage years, and talking to a therapist is important. And the idea that they will judge you is just an OCD trick.
