I've had this problem since I was 15 years old. There's a long story to it about how I was traumatized after my stepfathers' death. I whisper things under my breath obsessively and I don't wish to disclose what they are, but I feel like if I don't say them, bad things are to follow. I know it's unrealistic, but I can't fix the problem of saying it all the time. I wash my hands obsessively. It's hard for me to read (but I still fight that part of this like no other most of the time) sometimes or concentrate because while whispering I usually get really intrusive thoughts and I feel like all I can do to settle them is sleep. I was put on Lexapro awhile back, but it didn't help me any. I don't really want to go the anti-depressant/mood stabilizer route again because it made it worse, but I'd like to try therapy. I haven't told but a few close friends and my family doesn't know, but they should. I'm 20 years old and I'm about to go to college. I haven't been in a regular school since I had just turned 15 and that was before any of this happened. I was home schooled for awhile, but I got worse and worse off that I just stopped. My family was having their share of problems as well so that wasn't setting well with me. I'm now trying to get my GED so I can go to college and hoping that all this stuff won't interfere. So, that's how OCD affects me...
