Hi~ My name is Marina, I'm 17, and live in the US.
I found out about this forum on Tumblr, and I thought I'd give it a try.
For as long as I can remember I've suffered from really bad anxiety. When I was a kid I had some pretty bad OCD tendencies and worried constantly. I was also a sexually abused kid, so that didn't help.

I recently decided that I want to get help. My anxiety keeps stopping me from doing the things I want to do and it scares me. There's so much I want to do in my life but if I let my anxiety keep holding back like this I'm afraid I will never accomplish it.
I decided that when school starts back in a week I will talk to my school psychologist. I'm kinda worried though...I worry that maybe she will think I'm just wasting her time or won't think anything is wrong with me or that my parents will find out and be mad. :/
I've never seen a professional (for a variety of reasons), but I do believe that I have OCPD and anxiety problems. I hope no one is offended about my assuming this, but I honestly believe it's 99.9% sure.

But anyway, I really hope I can make some good friends on here. Please feel free to contact me, I would like it. I'm a bit lonely these days anyway.
