Looking for friends
Friendship Support / by brightKiwi147

...See more Hi! My name is Katharine and I am 17 years old. I’m from UK and I am looking for friends. I have OCD & autism which prevents me from socialising in real life. I was talking to my mum about my loneliness the other day & she suggested this app. This also sounds silly but I am looking for the right person who respects my mental health issues and is overall just a good friend 💕 Here’s some fun facts about me if you’re interested: * I love to play roblox however I can’t seem to find anyone else my age who does. I did play with my friend irl but she is pregnant and due in a months time. * I have dyspraxia verbal speech disorder. Growing up it was so much harder for me to socialise however I talk normally now so it’s not an issue. But I do think this is what caused me to be shy because I grew up quiet and misunderstood * I’m an animal lover. I have a dog, two cats, two guinea pigs, two rats, & two fish. I love holding my rats and playing with them * I love to play sims 4 and I have so much custom content and mods for it it’s crazy 😭 * I’m a family oriented person and I love to spend time with my mum and grandma. Every week I visit my gran to watch Coronation St with her (i love the tv show) * I believe in true love. My parents is the reason for this because they love each other truly. I hope to find my soulmate soon :) Thank you for reading! I’m interested in new friends who understand me or even the right person.

OCD intrusive thoughts and false memory
OCD & Related Behaviors / by brightKiwi147

...See more Hi, I am a 17 year old female from the UK and I am looking for other teenagers that are going through similar things to me. Everytime I’m with friends, family or other daily basic tasks, I always get intrusive thoughts popping into my head about body parts and what they would smell like. Even in situations where everyone’s laughing and it feels like a good time, I still get them. I’m wondering is there anything I can do to stop this? I’ve tried CAMHS and it works a bit. My mum also knows about this and she’s very supportive, I used to do a ‘worrytime’ with her however I stopped to try help my OCD as my psychiatrist suggested I should because it was a compulsion to get reassurance. With my false memory OCD, I keep on worrying what if I have trauma with family members and that explains why some things link to feelings. However, my mum was there in my childhood all the time and she knows I don’t have it especially with family plus as a kid I told her everything. However it feels like I’m starting to believe it and I don’t know what to do. (ps I’m also on medication for this, sertraline recently went from 100mg to 150mg and I still have these thoughts. However it has helped a bit with anxiety etc) Thanks for reading. Please give any advice or suggestions in comments, I want to feel normal, and if there are any other teens reading this going through a similar experience I’d love to hear your thoughts 💕
