I think you need to talk to your father about this. As close as you two are, it might help heal you if you talked. He probably thinks he did the right thing by not mentioning her or maybe it was too painful for him. Go through old photo albums with him with pictures of your mom. It might get emotional, but it will probably help the both of you. It seems to me that you have a long road to recovery and you are on the right track by acknowledging that you think you have a problem. The next step will be to actually face it. The doctors can come if and when you feel ready.

there will be a website- just put 'ocd treatment' into the search engine, and look at the symptoms to see if they fit you, it may not be what you think

what makes u think its ocd...?

you have been through so much!!! I lost my grandparents, my parents and my grown son. I am in counseling and have found out I never grieved for anyone but am grieving for my son, and I am stuck in stage two or three. Please don't give up on counselors. I have seen three besides the one I see now. This one is finally doing some good. Also see your family dr. He can give you meds for a few months to help you. I am so sorry about all your losses. It just seems overwhelming doesn't it? I don't know what ocd is but I think you may have post traumatic stress . Please get the help you need honey, it will get better, I promise.

i am 44 and have had OCD since i was 7. heres how i controlled my OCD, and it has caused me all sorts of problems in my life. i bacame an alcoholic for 14 years due to the anxiety from my OCD. i've been alcohol and drug free for 13 years now. don't drink or do drugs because this will only make your OCD worse. especially as you come down form substances because of the anxiety and stress that is associated with the comedown. coke and uppers will fuel your OCD severely and stay away from caffiene because this will also fuel your OCD. i am white knuckling it now as far as not taking any meds for my OCD, but i have learned to cut out stress in my life at a very good rate. don't get worked up about things. this will cause your stress and anxiety level to rise and severely impact your OCD symptoms. I should go on meds because when i took 100 milligrams of Luvox my OCD symptoms were reduced by 70%. i also learned to drink caffiene free teas at night and sometimes when i feel a bit anxious I will add cava cava or Valerian root to my tea. I will even at times take melatonin to help me relax at night. i even learned to practice ignoring my OCD when it demands that I perform rituals. It's hard to do at first, but when you ignore the obsessions by not giving in and performing these rituals, the OCD will greatly subside. over a few months time of ignoring rituals it will become easier and easier to not do this. Then it will become more of a maintainence for you to not do rituals. The strength of the OCD symptoms will now greatly reduce. I also learned to do rituals in my mind so I don't look funny to other people doing strange movements. you can learn to get a handle on this. as i got into my teens i was able to hide my symptoms from others by shifting focus of the rituals being performed in my mind. after you have shifted this focus then you realize that you can control, ignore and cut down on your symptoms. good luck.

;
ocd is a really wild and wicked disorder, is it not? cut down on stress and work on ignoring your ocd, when you get the impulse to do a ritual like shake your hands or touch something, don't. and say to your ocd, "i know thats just you ocd and your not gonna disrupt my life" focus your mind elsewhere so you can shake the anxiety of not doing a ritual. it gets easier to ignore over short time.
