I have a problem with my hands?

Question

I have a problem with my hands. I feel like if I don't do something, like touch or have something done to me twice (that came out wrong, but you know what I mean), that i will get terrible luck, like my house will burn down, or my pets will die, and i have the genetics to get breast cancer, bcuz my mom died of it, and my mom's mom died of it, and i feel like if i don't do something twice, i will die when im forty of breast cancer, you know what i mean?

I try not to do it anymore, but i get this uncomfortable feeling when i do, and i end up just HAVING to do it, and when i finally relax, idk how it happens, but my hands twitch and i need to move my wrists around, & the twitching isn't against my will, I just sort of do it deliriously.

Is it something like terets syndrome (however you spell it), like when you get tiks and you can't control it, or is it something else like something wrong with my brain?

I can sometimes control it. I don't know if its OCD or something. If it is, im really embarrased about it, and i don't know about treatments, or how much it would cost, bcuz my family can't exactly afford a lot of things right now. I can tap my keyboard once, and not feel like i need to do it again, and i can do other minor things like this, and do you think that if i keep practicing it, that i can overcome it myself? Please, i need serious answers. Im 13 years old, and i hear that terets syndrome affects people younger than 18.

Could I just try practicing minor things, like the keyboard thing, and gradually work on bigger things than that?

Please, serious answers...

Answer 1

It's seems like it's an obsessive complusive disorder. Go to your doctor and tell him the symptoms you are having. He/she can help you.

Answer 2

No Terets is uncontrolable burst of anger usually associated with cursing. Odds are this is mild form of OCD or obsessive compulsive disorder. OCD manifests itself in avariety of ways from cleaning to touching. Its the repetitiveness of the motion that stimulates the body to produce calming agents. Most people can recover quite well with this by reprograming there pattern or daily life to not encompass the repetative behavior without medication. There are many support groups and websites which offer self help and aid for this. It is ultimately what works for you.

Answer 3

Honey, it sound like you may be in the beginning stages of OCD... which stands for Obesessive Compulsive Disorder.

The good news is that there are many treatments for this.
Please see you doctor, or have a specialist recommended to you.

This is nothing to be ashamed about. Millions of people suffer from it-- and you, too, I think will find great comfort in finding help rather than keeping it all inside.

You can research OCD on the web -- and please find a doctor close to you so that you can begin to deal with this. Some people suffer their entire lives-- a painful, emotional experience] and that doesn't have to be you.

Good luck!!

tourret syndrom is just in children form 3 to 18 years old. It is movement tic and vocal tics. MOstly they do not need treatment it will go away.

But yes previous people are right. You have Obsession( hands). OCS is kinda you count doors or windows while walking. it is kinda obsession. Or you check 1000 times did u lock the door leaving house. and stuff liek that.
