You're not going crazy!. This too will pass!. I don't care what that other chick/dude said about it never going away!. That's not true!. It is good to learn to accept whatever it is you are dealing with at the moment!.
Presently, you are dealing with this, and the more you are aware of what you are doing and feeling during this obsessive behavior the better!
Paying attention and accepting what is happening will help you realize what feelings may trigger this obsessive desire and also help you to find other ways to cope with it!. Maybe it's reading a book, playing a sport, or spending time with a friend or family member!?
Trust me, you've got it in you kid!. Be strong! I suffered from OCD for a couple of years between the ages of 12-14!. I don't do any of obsessive behaviors I used to do!. Congratulations on reaching out, that's a very mature thing to do!. Best of luck!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
