Hi I'm at school and my OCD is killing me and on my birthday too. I just hate it and want it to end. I have no access to any help so can anyone help me out please?

I get it, school is really rough for me too. I'm in my freshmen year of highschool, and it controls me sometimes. Whenever I notice myself obsessing about thing, I just close my eyes and breathe deeply, and tell myself I'm ok. If you can, you can also calm down by going to the bathroom and being alone, I know it's easier for my when nobody is watching me freak out about things. Also, if you can, listen to music. It really helps me just forget about what I'm stressing about. I usually listen to music during lunch, and it gives me a mid-day boost where I can just calm and think.

Yes! Happy Birthday!! Remember that OCD likes to attack what you value most, so it VERY OFTEN makes an appearance at special events. Don’t fight it off, just pull up a chair and tell it, “Hello OCD my old friend, I see you’ve come to visit me again, but I have a life to live, so you can sit right there but you don’t get the driver’s seat.” Let the OCD thoughts co-exist in your mind with your regular thoughts because the harder you resist them, the stronger they’ll cling. But if they see that they have no power to bother you, they’ll get bored and go away.

OCD is a bully. It can follow you around and yell things at you, but you just keep living your life, doing the next thing.

Wow thanks for all the support guys you really helped me out I appreciate it I hope you can help make others feel better like you did with me
