Hey Leanna!.
If Gina won't let you go to the doctors, ask to see a social worker at your school or something!. I went to the social worker because I had problems with stuff and it went away!. You never know, maybe ask your teacher to go or ask your teacher about OCD!.

Good luck, and have a great school day tomorrow!.
And get some sleep!! =]Www@Answer-Health@Com

no, your mom is mistaken, we don't have the facilities to hold everyone with OCD!. It is readily managed with medications and therapy!. However, until you are no longer a teenager, you won't be treated for OCD, because you are going thru hormonal storms that mimic the same symptoms as OCD!. Until you are past all that, no doctor will treat you for OCD!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

to start with shekillsangels, yes it is easy to hide from your family, i did it for 10 years!.

sweetie have you done a lot of research into this!? unfortunately there is a great deal of stigma surrounding OCD and this often leads people to believe it to be a "silly disorder" and people "overreacting"!.
check out this site:
www!.ocduk!.org
here you can find tons of information as well as a forum where you can meet people who have OCD and ask your questions (biggest help to me over the last year)!.

the first time i told my mum she didnt understand either, dismissed it entirely!. i cant blame her for this, it must be difficult to think of your daughter having a mental illness and people dont generally understand OCD very well!.
if you really think that you have OCD it is important that you get a diagnosis and get treatment before it gets out of hand!. NO you wont be locked up in a mental instituation, as long as you are no actual danger to yourself or others you will not be!. you will be given treatment (hopefully CBT) and possibly combined with meds!.

contact me anytime if you need someone to talk to!.
been through it myself sweetie and i know how your feeling!.
if you are certain it is OCD and it is impacting greatly on your life (i figured out that it was OCD from a magazine article) then please get treatment!.

all the best and good luck

Are you joking!?! My best friend has OCD! You're not going to get locked away, if you think you have ocd then go to the doctor with an adult you trust (no offence to your mum but she doesn't seem to know what she's talking about), or make an appointment to see the school councillor!. xxxWww@Answer-Health@Com

Well!.!.!. if it's severe enough!. And I have to agree with your mom - she'd have noticed if you really had an OCD problem, it's not something easy to hide from people you live with!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Go get a Professional intake by a state certified facility!.!.!.!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

No, people with OCD do not get locked up in a mental instituteWww@Answer-Health@Com
