I'm 14 and for a while, probably since I was 10 (?) I feel like I have some sort of mental issue. Whenever someone is near me and eating or chewing gum and I can hear it in their mouth or just any other sort of small noises like tapping your feet or something like that, or seeing something out of the corner of my eye like someone chomping on gum again makes me very anxious and its frustrates me because I find it so unbelieveably annoying. Along with this, if I like scratch my ring finger cuticle on my left hand, i have to scratch all 9 others or else it feels so uneven. My older brother has ADD and my older sister has ADHD and bipolar disorder, and my grandma has OCD so I think there's a good chance I have something as well but I don't think my mom wants to believe that her one perfect child also has a mental illness. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on with me and how I can get my mom to believe me? (Also, she's a neurological nurse so she knows her stuff)
