Hi,

I'm Attila from Hungary and I have been suffering from OCD since last year. It developed from my GAD, I think. I don't really want to tell more about that, because now I feel, it is going to leave me alone, but OCD is still in my head. At first, I was really embarrassed to have silly rituals, and I thought, I was alone. I soon read about this disorder and I think, most of the thing written about it is true for me (sorry, if I had some grammar mistakes, note that I'm not a native speaker ). I'm always anxious, that something bad, or well let's say: something horrible will happen in the near future, if I can't do a ritual thing. People described such things below, that I also have. I'll go to see a psychologist next week. My rituals are like forehead touching, jumping with a chair, etc. and everything I do is must be in connection with number 3 or 7. Last weekend, I was a bit late from an architecture tour - yes, a lot of cool events, like this are organized in Budapest weekly -, because I made really wrong decisions (If I go with metro line 2, that's 2 stops... I hate number 2, so I shall go with another line... and like this). I simply can't enjoy my life, because of the horrible religious, sexual, etc. OCD-like thoughts. I think, that if I think of an irritating thing, that will happen in the future, so now I'm afraid of making a photo series about the buildings of my hometown, because something bad is going to happen. My brain can ruin every situation that I may like. I hope here somebody can help me. I hope to get medication soon, because these thoughts are really runaway now. I'm really young yet -17 years old- and I don't want OCD to rule my life. I'm really looking forward to get help.

Bye!
