The chances that you have ocd are very likely. I don't have it myself and I don't know anyone battling with it, but I would imagine its very hard to live with. I'm not completely sure if this will help you, but I think you need to force yourself to stop. It will be hard at first, but it eventually will help you.

It deffinatly sounds like you have OCD, i have it too, it started mild but i didnt get help for it and it has progressed in to different types of OCD.
You need help from you doctor, i know your mum thinks its just a phase but OCD can be very awful to live with as you have found out.
If she wont take you then go witha friend or by yourself.
Go to your doctor first though, yhey will know who is best to help you and you wont have to pay for therapy if you are refferd by a doctor.

OCD is very treatable, your doctor will recomend that you see a psychohologist or therapist, one who knows specificly how to deal with OCd and because of your age you should be able to see a child psycholgist.
They will help you to fight the OCD and make you think about it logically, and help you to beat this thing.

Please dont leave it as long as i did though because it does ruin lives, it wont ruin yours if you get help though, i dont want to scare you but i know from personal experience so its very important you get help right away.

Its also important to know that what your OCD is telling you wont come true, it's hard to try and figh it but im gradualy getting there, and the things it tells me will happen if i dont do a certain thing never happens when i fight it.

Take care xxx

You have it.

I do the exact same thing honey.
I don't really know what to tell you if you're asking to get rid of it because its really something that you can't get rid of all by yourself.

I think you do have OCD. Talk to someone you can trust will listen to you, like your mom or dad. It would also be a good idea to go to a counselor, or a therapist. They will be able to help you cope with yourself, and make your OCD better. Hope I helped =]

there's a big chance you may have ocd. you really gotta get your mom to listen, and also to notice whats going on. do some research and see if your symptoms are resemble the research and then show it to your mom. hope this helps!
