A clearer picture of OCD I have never heard. Get some help before you drive yourself crazy and/or people lose patience with you because they have no tolerance. You are never too young to have it...I met a 3 year old with it. He insisted on watching the toilet flush all the way and had to wipe the seat all over after using it. It was a big time consuming project and at the time. By the time he was 7 it esculated to many other things. He was put on Ridlin because he drove his parent nuts.

Sounds like you have many issues to work out. See a Psychiatrist and he will help you deal. Life and Death are natural occurrences. You are so young and have your whole life ahead of you. Get some help and you will be more secure. Good Luck and Enjoy Idol

I think it's OCD and perhaps something else going on.
Please, talk with your parents, a school official, some other adult you can trust. There are medications and other treatments that can make you feel better. Hang in there.
