> Hi Deneb,

> I started having symtoms of OCD and Anxiety at like the age of five.(((((((Tanzanite)))))))
Kids shouldn't have to go through abuse and live in fear. I didn't know kids as young as 5 could get OCD. I don't know why but I always imagined OCD as an adult disorder. I know from reading about OCD that it is a very difficult disorder to live with. I hope things have gotten better rather than worse for you.
>I was always anxious, alone, and didn't have any friends until junior high school and then I was still an outcast.
I'm always alone too. I started going crazy especially during my last year of high school. My social anxiety was the worse it had ever been. I was extremely depressed yet energized with a destructive force within me. I was paranoid too. It's good that you were able to make some friends in junior high. Are they still your friends today? I don't make close friends easily. I still have never had a close friend.
> I used to have panic attacks at school and a couple of times had to go home.
I hate it when stuff like that happens to me at school. Everyone watches. I had a panic attack during one of my labs once when I thought my lab report got a zero for being late.
> When I was 14 I begged my parents to please take me to a doctor. I was screaming, crying, having hysterics,wanting to die, and suffering from anxiety, I don't know what and they never got me any help. They just told me to shut up basically.
:-( It's hard to get adults to listen to kids sometimes.
> I wish we could go back and comfort our little lost selves. Maybe that would have helped us now.
Me too.
