Mental Health - August 2007

I'm a 12 year old girl.
I think i have OCD, ive spoken to my parents but they dont believe me.
Whenever i think/say or somebody else says something that can be twisted in any possible way into something bad i have to touch the right side of my head with my hand.
I do it ALL the time and its really getting be down.
Also sometimes i have to walk up/down the stairs a certain way (missing steps etc) other wise something bad might happen. Inside i know it wont but i have to do it!
I'm quite embarrised asking this question and dont want to go to the doctors so if your a doctor of some sort pleeeeease help me.
Thank you

well the unreal feelings have been minimal...well still ther but im just letting them fly by.
but new tihngs have popped up(bummer)
so these past few days i have been noticing things have look a little bit way to coincedential...and or similar...here are some of the things that freaked me out...or still are.
well my friend got a date with a girl named maria.....i didnt kow who mat=ria was...until my friend tells me she has a date with a guy named mora(my friend who got a date) so that was coincedential. then one morning i needed money....my mom didnt have change so i stepped outside...there were 2 dollars conviniently on the front step.....then the day before yesterday i was talking to this friend who i hasdnt seen in like a year...then the next day i went to library...and there she was....and i asked her if went to the library often and she said no...it was her firsttime...she'd been there in a while...(i hardly ever go to the library as well.)then i got a pm on panic end withand the guy said that he was wonderig i had got his message....cause his computer shutdown..or something like that..then today somone els wrote me an email(not from panicend) and was was wondering if i had gotten their message....cause their computer shut down unexpectedley.
that is coincedential!!!!!

and so thngs look different now.
i live in los angeles with a head on view of downtown l.a buildings(i live atop of a hill) and guess what they look like if they have shifted to the right...or seperated some how.....they llook different...but then agian i hardly pay attenion to them except sometimes.....but i know they look different..not the same!!!
and sometime i look to one side of the sky...and i see the outline of mountains.......where i know there shouldnt be any.
and i tell my self...if the mountain ****..or really shift to te right drasticaly..and everyone doesnt notice then im either in a dream. twilight zone. or something eles. and this feeling of doom...and what am i gonna dooooo!!!!!!comes over me...and i feel like omg what if things start changing and moving what am i suposed to do....it feel slike my life had turned upside down..but most of it doesnt scare me...except a few things....like if all the thing i though werent possible now are..like dream world, twilight zone...its hard to ger reassured when everything seems weird..no im all paranoid and scared again...but in other ways i feel better....but i need reasurances for this..i think in order to keepaccepting andfacing...and oh yeah my dreams and memory and thought have sorta of just smotherd together...i dunno how to differ what i dreampt, thought, or rememberd....and i can hardly remember these past three months...what am i gonna do....i dunno if im alvive dreaming dead or in afreaking coma......(most likely alvive just panicking...but everytme i think no this cant happen..like moving buildings...i asayit can happen i dreams...and as u can tell..thats not good)
i know i have probably said all this already and your gonna repeat your self again...but im freaking out(not that bad though)
and i can hardly feel all that much..thats why i havent broken dwon...cause im do u know....panicky and more : /
but everythime somethin seems to go right..i feel like it cant be happening..so i tink its not real

sorry about the rambling

I'm very introverted, even in youth. I was skinny, grew fat in high school but since then have been excersizing regularly and now I'm in good shape. Around people I know I can laugh and be normal but in clubs or large crowds I quickly clam up and become suspicious... almost angry at the strangers.

I have very vivid dreams and they are often fixated on the few girls I've been interested in before. When things wouldn't progress with them, I sometimes spent whole days fantasizing about how to change their mind or on dark days I'd even imagine making them miserable. I often consider ways of destroying myself. I've always been considered quite intelligent by people looking into my thoughts.

There are good points though. I've never hurt anyone, I don't hallucinate, and my thoughts are less violent now. It's the anxiety that bothers me. I feel confident about my looks, my mind, so why can't I impress people? Why do I feel like they want me to die?

My sister went to a mental hospital and every time we try to get her out they say she does not want to go. The lady at the hospital said she put a 72hr hold on her because we said that we wanted to get her out of their facility.
Then I said I thought you could not leave unless you were homocidal or sucidial she tells me that you can also be gravely disabled. I need help trying to figure out what are the possible was to get her out.

I was brought to a psychologist to talk out some problems. The first session, she asked me a series of questions to be turned into an evaluation of my mental health (to see if I'm at risk for anything, I guess).

Example Question:
Have you had trouble sleeping within the past month?
Possible Answers:
Alot of the time
Some of the time
Not alot of the time
None of the time

So the results came back and I did not have any conditions, according to the evaluation. Now, I think I may have held back on my answers. I've been severely anxious and depressed lately, and don't know why.
Is it possible to share this with her or get re-evaluated?

I have a twenty year old daughter who is Bi-polar. She is not correctly medicated and stays on the manic side for the most part.

A little background first....She spent about 6 years in foster care after she started hurting her baby sister. We didn't yet know what was going on with her; she wasn't diagnosed yet.
The entire time she was in foster care I was behind the scenes ensuring that she got the help she needed and not falling between the cracks of a not so great system. when she was committed they called me to sign for the meds, etc. I was always there even when she had no idea that I was.....

Today she is barely in control of her bi-polar although she is functional for the most part. Along with bi-polar comes a tendency to spend spend spend $$$. She had asked me to help her with her money the beginning of this year; like a payee, after she had racked up several hundred dollars in over draft fees. She had over $1000 in savings just before she moved out a week ago....

I didn't know that about a week ago, the owner's of this business started towing people who used their parking lot after-hours to go to the club next door. I usually can cut myself slack by chalking it up to an honest mistake. But this sort of thing seems to happen to me more frequently than usual. About a month ago I got a ticket for turning right on a red light, totally legal in my state but just not at this one designated intersection in town. I'm such a cautious driver because I'm a nurse and know better, but this car is costing me a fortune in lessons learned. Not to mention the fact that I was attacked by 2 dobermann's in my sister's neighborhood 6 weeks ago & was mauled so bad I ended up with 14 stitches. Came out with hundreds of dollars in E.R. bills even after insurance covered most of it. I'm starting to think I can't leave my house without screwing up and paying greatly for it. Could this all be part of life? I need a way to learn how to quit screwing up!!!
