Answers:

You don't need help. Nobody can control their thoughts. Ask someone to stop thinking for one minute. They cant. Its just the matter of what you think of. I used to have all sort of b*llsh*t in my head when I was younger like your age or younger. I literally concentrated on to get super powers somehow. Tried to fly and to brake things. And I really thought it is going to happen if I try really hard. So I tried. Never happened.. And ever since I know maths and 1-2-3, I started counting everything. The corners of the parking cars (you can see 3 of them as you pass, thats 3, 6, 9, usually I stop it or get it mixed up around/by 72 -ish. The poles next to the road. The stripes on the road surface (2-4-6-8-10...82-ish is usually too much and I start it all over again. and again). Sometimes this sometimes that. There is nothing wrong with me I've got a normal life I just got these things. I can stop it for a while like for couple of weeks if I really try but it comes back eventually. And I only do it when I'm alone. Or when no one talks to me like in the car and someone is driving or something. There was a time when I thought this is not normal and no it isn't but this is just how our brain's functioning. Your brain is part of your body a very important organ but it is just as well has its own ways of functioning. Its just an organ. Its not you. When you start thinking about these things say to your self: I am the awareness behind my thoughts. Keep saying this and just watch where your mind wanders. Don't try to stop it just watch and be the observer. hth

my own sick thoughts



Its hard when the people you depend on dont believe you. I would do some research on ocd and show it to your mom so she understands that it is a real disease and how it can control peoples lives. Tell your regular doctor about whht is going on and he/she can help with the next step if they see the problem. Maybe they can even talk to your mom about it too



You need help... You don't say that you'll die if you don't get back before a commercial is on. But all of this is your OCD ... You just need to go to a therapist and try to relax and come to understanding with your OCD. This is all normal for OCD people... NOT people without it. Good luck.



This is all part if your OCD. I suffer from OCD aswell btw. Your having obsessive and intrusive thoughts.. you believe if you think of something it will happen.. I have this too!
You need to see a doctor and get some consuelling or therapy! You are not alone!



who gives a sh*t i get two points



There NOTHING wrong with you. Please trust me. I'm 15 and the same thing started for me at 14. Yes it's OCD, just intrusive thoughts. It's nit dangerous, makes you seem a little weird but it's not harmful, and it shouldn't get worse. I have the exact same kind of thing as you. DON'T worry about it, the more you worry the more anxiety you'll get, resulting in panic attacks, and they're hell to live with.

If you need help just message me (:
