Hey darling 💚 I understand your struggle of having OCD while incredibly young. I want you to know that life continues, and your dreams of getting starbucks, tattoos, and your nails done will become reality! Try explaining your parents in a simple way, concepts of intrusive thoughts without going into too much detail except for the fact that it causes you mental pain. However, I understand that can’t happen sometimes, due to many issues- I want you to know that you have a hopeful path ahead of you, and there are so many resources online (and on this app itself!) that can help you. I’m wishing you the best of luck, and good vibes 💖

@cleoeastwood Go for it! I understand it can be scary, but you said yourself they won’t judge, so what’s the harm? There are so many resources you can use to explain as well if they feel lost or confused.

Hi❤️ I’ve been where you are, believe me. Experiencing OCD at a young age is very difficult. But I want you to know that things WILL get better. You will get to do all of these things. The first step is explaining to your parents what you are experiencing. Things WILL get better though. Keep your head up💙

Hey! If it’s any solice, I’m 20 and experience moments like these. But I will tell you that it dramatically gets better when you’re able to find a good therapist. I wouldn’t recommend telling your parents specifics about your ocd but just enough so they’d understand the importance of therapy. You’ll likely live a normal life! I was diagnosed at 13 and I’ve dealt with intense OCD times. But, I have made a way for myself to still go out, have friends, and have a partner. My heart goes out to you, we’re all in this together. 💕

@cleoeastwood I always write things down when I’m having an argument or have difficulty expressing my emotions. 10/10 would recommend writing a letter.

I feel like I'm not in control of my own mind
I hate the way ocd has completely messed up my brain, I struggle to tell the difference between an intrusive though and a regular one, I have really bad issues with morality and I feel as if my brain can no longer tell what is and isn't right and I can't tell if I'm over reacting about situations and I end up feeling stuck in a loop of wondering if I'm a bad person and trying to look at a situation rationally and not knowing if that's even possible with the state of my mind, I feel like none of my thoughts are actually mine. I hate it and I wish I could feel in control of my thoughts even for just a day, just to know what it's like. I've had ocd symptoms since I was about 9-10 so i feel like I've never really know a life without it. I just wish I could live out my teenage years like anyone else my age. I can hardly engage with my hobbies and passions and I don't know what to do about it. I can't go to therapy or get medication because I'm not even diagnosed, I just feel trapped. I'm only a teenager, like I said, I don't want to live my entire life like this.

I will never escape my ocd and my gender. i can’t do this my entire life.

worried 😔
this is probably kinda jumbled but over the past almost year or so i've slowly realized i have ocd (i'm diagnosed audhd but over time i started feeling like those alone didn't cover the whole issue yk?), and recently i've been kinda worried i guess. it’s just that i’m turning 21 in 6 months and i’m afraid that this disorder is going to rob me of joyful adult milestones in my life. honestly being 20 has sucked, i can’t even remember wtf being 18 was like, and my childhood in general wasn't the best either, but i've been struggling a lot as of late and i don't want how i feel now to be the same as how i feel next year. my meds have helped quiet my compulsions a significant amount (i literally felt like i was going kinda cray cray when i was off them 😭) but they’re not completely gone. sometimes it just seems like this is all it's ever gonna be forever and i’m always gonna feel ashamed of myself for just like… existing. my 21 year old self deserves to be happy but idk if i’ll be able to give that to her 🥲🥲🥲
