Anti-social; OCD; Nervous Wreck. Help?!
Question: Okay, so I'm like almost 18. I just find it really hard to make friends; and have never been in a 'relationship'. I find it quite difficult to socialise with other people. This hasn't really bothered me a lot before, but lately I've been feeling really lonely and down. I just have really low self-esteem and get paranoid easily.
Also, things and hobbies I used to like don't appeal to me much anymore, and I've pretty much become a nervous wreck.
I've knowingly had Obsessive Compulsive Disorder for a number of years now, some even going back to my early childhood. But I've recently started hoarding 'useless' things, and feel incomplete without them. I've tried to seek professional help, and promise myself almost every night that I'll go see a doctor the next morning; but then the whole 'anti-social' thing kicks in, and I can't bear to leave the house. I really wanna get 'better' and go out and make friends, but I don't know what the hell to do. Help! Is anything actually wrong with me?

It's all part of your disorder! You want help but the idea of conversating with someone is more overwhelming than you think. Please talk to your family, talk on the phone to someone to atease the stress and then take baby steps to the doctor.
Feeling lonley is part of life! Married people sometimes feel lonely too. You might start out by going to a show sitting around people to get over the nervousness.
Good Luck!
