OCD and SAD


Question Posted Tuesday September 25 2007, 7:15 pm

14/f

I'm positive that I have OCD and I'm almost positive that I had SAD, but I haven't told anyone yet and even though my parents see my compulsions they dont make the connection or anything and I don't know how to go about telling them or asking them to take me to a psychiatrist. Any advice?

Also, if there is anyone on here who has OCD or SAD that I could ask some questions to that would be great.

Thanks

Keep in mind that I'm really shy and bringing this up is going to be hard for me. .

If you don't feel comfortable talking to your parents, then talk to someone you do feel comfortable sharing this concern with. A peer counselor, a school nurse, a minister, a youth leader, whomever you already have a relationship or acquaintence with and can trust with your suscpicions of OCD.

I have ocd, if you have ocd, then you have to repeat things that other people dont,and have alot of things even, sometimes count alot. There isnt really a cure for ocd. But you can go to google and search ocd self test,then you really will find out

As for SAD, Ive never heard of it, but if its like OCD, thengoogle SAD

My advice for you would be to get as much information as possible together, ie booklets and information off the internet, and then ask your parents to have a read. If they ask you why, just tell them that sometimes you feel that you may have OCD and would like their help.

Most parents will want to do everything in their power to make sure their children are well and healthy (mentally and physically) and would want to explore any problems together.

I hope this helps. Good luck.
