I get bullied at school for having this. What should I do?

Wow. I always say I wouldn’t wish this on anyone but sometimes I think people need to have it for a day. Just to understand the amount of pain it causes someone. Remember you are not you’re illness. If you had cancer and people bullied you people would be infuriated. Mental health no one seems to bat an eye, it’s all the same. It all causes turmoil. I know exactly how you’re feeling you need to tell someone you trust about this happening to you.

Your*

Those people don't matter. You should tell a teacher or something but if that option doesn't work then you just have to ignore them. Or even better use your disdain for them as fuel to fight this illness.

The school are fully aware because it turned to a fight the other day. I hit someone because he bought 15 people up to me. They were all shouting and mocking me because of it. So I hit the worse one. Then had to use so much hand gel it was crazy. I have this teacher and he’s great you know. He will always help me and I went to him and he went mental at the kids. My parents know as well. The school just are not taking action on these kids

I guess there is no 5 step to strategy out here to solve the situation you're in, but there are some things you could do. Talk to someone you trust about this. It might help you vent and go through your options to solve this. The second thing, actually that was the first thing that I thought of, is to be confident. You seem to have a different perspective on what Ocd is. You took the step to download nocd so your perspective on mental health issues is a lot more that of a grown up compared to your classmates. It's difficult to be more specific about how being confident with your own constitution could look like in every day scenarios.

Whoa, things have been escalating at your school

That’s ridiculous. If it’s that serious I feel like you should take it to your school board. I bet your school will be all on board to help then? my school is just as bad.

Even some of my teachers though can be a real pain for it though. I have permission from SLT to sort things out if I need to but my maths teacher won’t let me do anything and then he keeps me behind class for apparently being disruptive. That turned to a whole big issue.

My school are pathetic really

I swear they care about other students but we are the ones suffering in the long run

That’s so true tho. I hate it though when kids say but i don’t want it to be straight or whatever and your just sitting there thinking do you have a bloody medical condition for that

This post is definitely going to anger all of us ocd sufferers. Your not alone! All these kids sharing bellletstalk for one day then go back to being bullies the next. Keep your chin held up high. You got this.

Exactly I have this friend who is always complaining she has OCD soooo baddd but it’s like has it hindered you at all? Have you cried yourself to sleep because it’s so bad? No so shut up ???‍♀️

OMG the bellletstalk thing too don’t get me started on that

I hate it when people say things like that. The amount of times I walk out of class because of it. As a matter of fact though when I start thinking what I do. I walk out to try and calm down, walk back in argument with the teacher and it starts again. OCD is a never ending cycle I find. Teachers are fully aware of what’s happening with the kids but they do nothing no matter how many times I go and complain.

Yup. People preach about how far the world has come mental health wise, yeah maybe for depression and anxiety (and that still has its issues). But people act as if OCD is a never heard of this due to the misconceptions when it’s one of the most common mental illnesses out there. The world still has a lot of work to do.

Thing*

I hate when people just think it’s about keeping things clean. Isn’t it like the 4th most common or something?

What are your sch like 4 it

Or were

What is my school like about it?

Talk with the school, family, and friends. Inform those that you care about and keep them updated. :)
