Is this anxiety disorder? OCD? Help please!? |
I'm schooling now, and I know that when people think they've screwed up a test, they get upset and maybe shed some tears over it. But eventually, they snap out of it. In my case, it's like I'll keep worrying about the test to no end, and then I'll find even more mistakes (which sometimes may not even have existed) and I have to keep talking myself out of this mild depression I go into whenever I feel I've done bad on a test/ exam or just something I want. For instance, I had a chemistry practical test two weeks ago, and for a whole week, I wouldn't stop worrying about it. In fact, I had to keep talking myself out of the depressed mood I'd go into, and eventually it became like a mantra whereI had to reassure myself that things would work out fine. My friends all find me very stressed whenever certain important things roll around. It's like I just can't snap out if it. Please help! If there's anything I can do, I'd do it because worrying excessively ruins my day completely! Probably a bit of both, with a little bit of chronic depression thrown in for sauce. Anxiety disorder makes you worry excessively. OCD makes you obsess over everything. Depressive tendency makes you stay upset for a long time. Been there, done that, got the t-shirt from my therapist. You need a (constructive, non-drug/booze/sex-related) distraction, like excercise or a hobby. Trust me: if you have a bit of OCD, it is more constructive to excercise yourself into exhaustion than to sit around and cry all day. I have anxiety disorder and what you sound like you have is not the disorder itself but just an overreaction to things... you need to calm down sounds more like it I assume you are a teenager. It sounds as though you have a mild depression and that can be serious. Get professional mental help. sounds like anxiety disorder i would seek diagnosis and help from a psyciatrist and psychologist A lot of people have anxiety when they are in school. Especially over tests. You have to exhibit the negative behaviolrs for at least 6 months on a daily basis with negative consequences that disrupt your life for you to actually be diagnosed with a disorder like that. Everybody stresses and obssesses over tests. If you statrted obsessing over whether your shoes were still tied every 10 seconds then I would start to worry. That's what kind of stuff OCD patients deal with. I am not a doctor, but you may consider seeing a counselor - it sounds like anxiety but you may want to speak to a professional to make sure1 Good luck You should express these feelings to your Parents, or an Adult you trust at school. There are probably things you can be taught to help with those symptoms. Good Luck |
