I'm 17 and suffer from OCD for almost 3 years. Every time when my parents get annoyed at me, they threaten me with things that my OCD makes me anxious about. For example, I have an obsession that a certain part of the wall in my apartment is extremely dirty. When my parents get angry with me, they throw everything to that wall and laugh at me with triumph. They use my fear as a way of punishing me for annoying them with my symptoms or for other resentments. Sometimes I try not to let them see some of my symptoms because it can only give them another GREAT way to punish me.

My family hates me for my mental illness. They blame all family troubles on me and keep telling me how much easier they would live if it weren't for my OCD. They always compare me with the other “normal” teens and say “who the hell is as insane as you?!” they misconceive that I do every crazy thing on purpose and consider that my aim is “to destroy the family”. I try to explain and talk to them so many times yet it never works. They don't believe in mental illnesses and said that i use "obsessive-compulsive Disorder" as an excuse.
