I'm 22 and almost 23 and single. My problem is that, whenever I experience some family/relationship problems, I always have a particular kind of OCD preoccupying my mind. I become very anxious about my looks. I burst out crying and feel extra miserable even if I don't look as awful as I think I do. I have to go over and over in my mind telling myself that I look fine, but when I lose my concentration, I have to start all over again!
How do I get over this?

I have had OCD ever since I can remember. There are many medications that can help that are available now and cognitive therapy is very effective. I hope you start feeling better soon~

How severe are your preoccupations? Are they constant? do they fade away? If they are constant, you should definitely seek the help of a professional (unless there is someone who is constantly undermining you in which case you might have a good reason to be preoccupied).

I've had the same thing myself, especially with kinfolk, lol!!! I would go to a counsellor, because I know OCD is a very tricky problem! You don't have to be perfect!
