I am suffering with ocd, im 13 years old, I have obsessive thoughts, please help me stop.

i need some pointers on how to stop OCD, it takes over my life and it makes me feel like something bad will happen if I dont for example tap something 4 times, I need it to stop!!

OCD is very difficult to deal with on your own. Talk to a counselor at school or to your parents to find out what options are available for you to get psychotherapy. The therapy teaches you different ways of thinking, behaving and reacting to situations that cause anxiety. There are also medications that can sometimes help you deal with it.

I have OCD. It will hurt, but if u can't control it, put a rubber band on ur hand, and whenever u start doing OCD things, snap it saying that u don't need to do that. After a while ur brain will learn that there will be pain after OCD thoughts and stop.

I am OCD I just close my eyes and picture cemetrical squares

Well you should see a counsellor about this but let me just briefly explain to you what is happening here. Its just fear that's all. Whatever warnings you are getting are just lies. If I don't tap 4 times something bad will happen is a lie and that's what you need to understand to rid yourself of this horrible disease. I wish you all the best. Also in addition to seeing a good counsellor I want to advise you to spend as much of your free time in nature as possible as that will calm you and I doubt you will get these thoughts outdoors. Take care and wish you all the best.

I'm 11 and I'm not sure if I have OCD my mom says I do
