HELP!

I don't know if this is a serious forum or not but I need help...

I've been looking into seeing a specialist about my OCD. This all dates back in 2002 when burglars tried to break into my house. They turned out to be kids that I used to be friends with who knew about my family keeping some money in the house. I had witnesses etc. but the police did nothing. To this day I believe it was racism. I was traumatized because I felt helpless. Also, other things would happen soon after. The house would get shot up with paintballs, a window was broken which seemed to be because of a rock thrown at it not sure to this day, and I was picked on a lot in high school. This is the main reason why I had 60+ absences because I couldn't face the racism. No one seemed to help the teachers, god, even the police! There was nothing I could do and these kids could try this again. I set my outside sensor lights in particular places to avoid this. I began to do my religious rituals because it was the last alternative which slowly dissapated. Then I did lucky number (5 being my lucky number) rituals and counting usually 1234 3 times and on the 4th 12345. I currently still do counting and other routines. I feel intense anxiety when someone moves my car seat. I try to get things in the exact right places and if they're not I will spend up to 1-2 hours getting them in perfect position. My sideburns have to be perfect or else everyone will treat me poorly, no one will like me, and I will have enemies hence the attacks on my house will happen again. Is something wrong with me? I had a break down the other night. I was trying to make my sideburns straight with a ruler for about 30 minutes. When I went to sleep I felt like I was almost possessed by the devil like some evil spirit was there making me do these things. I felt tired but just out of place at the same time. I almost wanted to die because I didn't want this feeling anymore I couldn't take it it was too much. I have my good points where I love my family and I feel very blissful. Thent here are times like now where I feel very depressed emotional sensitive and self conscious. I don't want to see a doctor because I don't want to be labeled as a psycho. I am trying to stop these things hmm.

Relax man - please show some patience and I'm sure the responses will come back!

To answer the last part of your message - people on this site have huge amounts of courage.

They have recognised a problem in their lives and want to share their experiences with like minded people.

They know this is a vital part of the recovery process!!

I really do not know what to make of your above statements. It almost makes me feel as if you are making up the story; else why the put down. Don't you know that social phobic's biggest fear is other's opinions of them. Answering to any subject is difficult, since we worry excessively as to how others will view us. Don't take the lack of answers personally, it is just how social phobics are. 8O

I would advise you to seek professional help. The sooner you seek it, the higher your chances of overcoming your problems. I realize that now, since I waited too long; worried about what others would think of me. When it comes down to it, what others think does not matter. It is your life, and you, only you can live it. That is why you need to become pro-active and get help asap. No one has to know that you are seeing a psychologist. Psychologist are not allowed by law to go and tell your friends and the people you know that you have a problem or the type of problem that you have.

Hello MethodYoon
what you tell sounds just like "lucky and unlucky" OCD... This is one of the most common OCD kinds, I used to have it myself earlier. If you go to a therapist, ypu won't be labelled as a psycho. A therapist sees hundreds of people like us every day and if he did think we were psychos he would not do his job :lol: No seriously. There are millions like you and me counting, sorting, tidying up, and getting MAD at their OCD. So COME ON and fight.
Good Luck! :wink:
