Hello!

[CantaloupeSweet]

Hello everybody,
I am new to this forum, and I chose to remain anonymous as I'm not comfortable giving out too much about myself due to my age (I will say I'm under the age of 18.) I found this website on accident last night as I was trying to find if anybody else had what I have been dealing with. While I'm not officially diagnosed (but I'm very sure that I have this), I think I may have Pure-O as I've been having intrusive thoughts ever since I was in elementary school (but never told anyone about it out of fear of being judged.)

I might post a little about myself in a bit on the OCD forum, but otherwise I'm here to see stories from others and find relief while I try to figure out a way that I can tell my parents what I'm dealing with. :)

Welcome
Do whatever you feel comfortable with on here. There are a number of very young people on here and given time you may feel comfortable to disclose more about your anxieties.
