This is the 2nd time getting my period. And it's so wierd. I keep thinking about it and worrying about it. I think I'm almost done with it but I still worry about every little thing.
1) I just keep thinking and worrying about everything about it. I swear I haveOCD because I can't stop thinking and worrying about it. All these other girls and women who have their periods just say who cares about it etc. And for some reason I can't.
2)I keep worrying that I'm leaking when I'm not. I wear a tampon and pantyliner during the day and a pad and tampon and night cause I worry myself to death over it.
3) I keep thinking how miserable im going to be cause I'm gonna have this for like till im 50. And I first started in August when I was 15 and I turned 16 in november and i just got my second one April 30th.
4) I JUST WORRY ABOUT EVERYTHING AND CANT FOCUS ON ANYTHING ELSE! It just doesn't seem normal at all :( Im making myself a nervous wreck & losing sleep and feeling sick/nauseous over it.

You don't have OCD. You just need to get used to this. It is a big change in your life. It is only your second time. You don't know what to expect yet. Most people do that.

for the first year when i had mine (in 6th grade it SUCKED!!) i was worried about it too. i highly suggest that you invest in pads that are for nighttime use. they are extra long so you arent as likely to leak. i suggest sleeping on you side too as this will lessen the chances. and try not to wear a tampon at night because you can get TSS (it says on the box) wearing double protection during the day is a good idea. i can tell you though ive had plenty the pair of pants ruined. tip for you: change your tampon around every 3-4 hours and ALWAYS carry more than you think you will need. maybe try to keep a pair of pants in your locker at school so if you do leak you wont be ruined forever. also, i have always carried a sweatshirt with me in case i need to cover up. you will stop worrying about it when youve had it for a while. good luck.

I've always worried about leaking, but when I have my period, I'll tell my closest friends and ask them to inform me if I leak. Since you have double protection, chances of you leaking is very little. Take things your stride!
Well, period is part and parcel of a girl's life. You have to learn how to accept it. Though it's going to be a long journey, you have to slowly overcome your fears. The most important thing is to stay healthy especially during puberty. Take more fruits, veg and water and go all out to exercise so you'll relax and forget about your worries!

first of all worrying has NOTHING to do with OCD and you needa get over it and do not wear tampons during the night cuz the risk of toxic shock syndrome

Relax sweetheart. It's all new to you. Talk to your mom about this and maybe go see your doctor. You might need an anti axienty med to help you through this adjustment
