If I didn't know your age, I wouldn't think the same, when you claimed you had an important school year coming up, I would assume you are a senior, since when was school at 14-15 important?

Also, have you seen a psychologist and have been diagnosed with these? Or have you been internet-surfing on a briefly-informed website on these disorders and pranced around thinking you have it? Your mom must be quite ignorant thinking you grow out of it, this isn't a physical condition, it can be a brain abnormality or a neurological problem, which in many cases, are incurable but are treated.
I live in England. We have GCSE's here (year 10-11 - ages 14, 15 and 16) which are VERY important. To be honest your post is quite offensive to me, seeing as I suffered and are suffering from unwanted thoughts, compulsions, delusions, I see things that aren't there and I have "odd" beliefs and magical thinking (along with a bunch of other symptoms). And I haven't been internet surfing about mental illness, doing that triggers my unwanted thoughts, for some reason. As I said, I WANT to see a doctor and get a diagnosis but my parents won't believe me/take me. It feels like you are scrutinizing me. I would NEVER want/wish for a mental illness. But when you FEEL so psychologically sick it hurts, you obviously want help.
