How can I convince my mum that I REALLY think I have O.C.D?

I wanna see a doctor about it so bad.


I count everything, do everything 3 times, things that are all out of order really annoy me, I pull/chew my hair, I think of things I don't want to, I'm always praying in my head, I gotta do stuff to get the "Please God, kill me" thoughts out of my head, I always re-check things, I think someone is gunna die if I lie or something...I always have to confess, I keep trash...


...I took a test and it said if you scored 9 or more than you PROBLEY have O.C.D and I got 29! And I told my mum and she said "SURE YOU DID!" every test I took said see a doctor she said it's all lies...


And...I dunno what else!


She won't believe me, she laughs and says I have no problems....and I tell her I am dead serious and she's just like yeah riiiight.


My grandma believes me, she knows how I re-do everything and keep trash such as old ripped up school tests and empty bottles.


Help me convince my mother (and dad)...please....!?

You didn't mention how old you are but I assume you are still in school. If so, they probably have a counselor. Go talk to that counselor and get his/her advice on what to do.





Don't try to diagnose yourself. You should be evaluated by a psychologist (they are the ones qualified to test and diagnose these sorts of things). Your school counselor should be able to point you in the right direction, and talk to your mother also. Your mother may listen better if it comes from a school professional.





Good luck
Reply:The issue isn't convincing your parents that you need help. You KNOW you need help, go get it. Let yourparents know that you cold use their support in this, but if they tease you or dont' offer any support, don't let that stop you from getting the help you deserve and need. Here's the outcome if you dont' get any help- you blame your parents for not taking care of you and the problems still dont' go away, Solve the main issue and then through that you'll be able to solve the next issue, which would be your parents and their lack of support. Good luck!
Reply:If your Grandma believes you then you should have her help you to explain it to your parents.Sometimes parents don't want to think their child has a problem, so go talk to your doctor and tell him or her and they will really help.Just call the doctor you usually go to.
