Ok, I been really getting depressed lately because I have OCD(well, not officially diagnosed but my folks wouldn't bother going to the effort) and things are starting to get really bad and I don't know what to do. Lately the washing of the hands or the not stepping on any cracks has been getting really frustrating. My parents aren't helpful because they don't care and they just start yelling at me when I do something like separate my food at dinner, as if I don't feel bad enough about it already. I also can't talk to my counselor at school because he only knows stuff about school and would only end up telling my parents that I went to see him and then I would just get in trouble. Last night I was upset about something and my dad just yelled at me because I was sad, I mean aren't dads' supposed to comfort their kids when they're down in the dumps? So they just end up making me feel worse about my "habits" so to speak.

So as you can see I have no where else to go and I've been debating a while to post on here but have finally decided to just do it. Thank you for listening.

I'm glad you posted - it helps to get it out - I'm currently on a rant, but can tell you being a dad - yes they should be comforting and put their children first.

Only suggestion coming to mind is to have a family sit down and lay the cards on the table

Good news, I finally got up the nerve(with the help of people from this site) today to go talk to my counselor. I thought I was going to hypervanilate but I went anyways. I thought it was going to be horrible like I said before and that he wouldn't know anything, but it really helped me. He said that he was going to call home today and talk to my parents about private counseling or something like that. Let's just hope that they don't get mad that I went to talk to him instead of them.

<font color="#000088"> I also have an OCD,well there's 2 things that I have an OCD with,one is cleanliness,I go on cleaning spree's like crazy,and the washing of hands constantly,the 2nd is self-mutilation"cutting",I'm working hard on that one!
but my Dad always understood just because he is a Psychologist Ph.D,and he always loved me,he passed away not too long ago!
But my mom gave me such a hard time about the washing of the hands,so one day I came up with an idea just to show her,when it was time for dinner(this was very hard)I rubbed a bunch of dirt on my hands,then sat at the table to eat,with very dirty hands! My Mom was so mad that I didn't wash my hands for dinner,she never bothered me about washing my hands again! anyone?

I know you talked to your counselor ,but I know what your going through,I have the same thing.But I just thought you'ld get a good laugh out of my story of how I got my Mom to leave me alone! My Dad always taught me that laughter is the best medicine! So I wanted to share a dose with you! Good luck with the outcome of your counseling,and I'm here if you ever need anything! anyone? </font>
