OCD
I believe I have OCD. I was reading online to look up some symptoms and I seem to meet them all. I am 14/ f and I was wondering how I should bring it up with my mom. I am going to the doctors on Monday for a physical so I can play sports so how should I ask my mom to bring it up?

You bring it up to your doctor. I'm sure the doctor will ask you questions and probably give you a chance to ask your own. Let them know what you are feeling. :)

if you feel it to be necessary i would consult my doctor about it. its nothing to be ashamed of. good luck!

a lot of people have ocd, and you can have it in many different ways. like me, i dont like having doors open idk why. you should just talk to your mom, and she should be able to understand

Usually around your age, doctors give you a survey to fill out. It`s suposse to be confidential but anyways it ask you multiple question and questions or concerns you have. You can tell them that way. If they don`t ask your mom if you can ask about personal questions with just the doctor. Or just plain out ask her if you can mention OCD to the doctors. Hope this helps. ♥

at your physical, don't outright tell the doctor that you think you may have OCD. describe your symptoms honestly and tell him/her that you went online to try and figure out what it was and you think you might have OCD. if you don't want to, you don't have to bring it up with your mom. if you do plan on telling her first (and it seems like you do, props to that) just tell her that you get anxious when you do your compulsions and that you want to get help for it because you're afraid it could get worse. if she doesn't believe that you might have a problem, you always have your physical on monday to bring it up with a doctor.
