My name is Anne and I have OCD as well as social anxiety disorder and depression. I am a 15 year old girl. I attend school now but in about 2 weeks my mom is going to start homeschooling me because I can't take being around all those people for so long each day. My OCD is very annoying it drives me crazy. I have to tap things in a very specific order and sometimes people notice and they want to know what I'm doing and I have to make up some kind of stupid excuse. I am not really worried about neatness and germs, I'm more stuck tapping and thinking things over and over and over or I don't feel right. For instance, when I sit down in a chair I have to look over my left shoulder, tap the left part of my chair, then look over my right shoulder and tap the right part of my chair, then I have to tap the middle of the chair before I can relax. I would like penpals who are around my age, well 10-17 works, with OCD to write to about it. I think it would be nice to really be able to tell someone how I feel. Please reply someone!
