busybee said 3 years, 11 months ago:
I have a lot of symptoms of OCD (tapping my fingers a certain amount of times, obsessed with making everything even, I have to count to 5 obsessively, etc.). I’ve told my family (parents and cousins) about wanting to get checked out because it’s causing me a lot of distress and anxiety. I get a lot of thoughts like “what if I pushed a stranger into traffic, what if I threw myself off the roof) and I would never act on it but I really disturbs me.
Everyone I’ve talked to though says that I don’t have it or that I’m faking for attention because they don’t see me as the kind of person with OCD and my mom says that “everyone is a little OCD”. I feel like a really bad person because I’m scared that I am faking it but I want to go to a professional to get help because this gives me a lot of anxiety.
I’ve taken online tests and I know they’re not an actual diagnosis but they all say that I’m at high risk of having it.
To sum it up, I have a lot of symptoms of OCD and I think I have it and it gives me a lot of anxiety, but everyone thinks I’m faking it for attention so could I please have some advice?
