At around the age of 13/14 I was diagnosed with OCD, I went to a few meetings with a woman about it but gave up as i thought they weren't really helping me, anyways I've always been ok apart from having to do the odd rituals but recently my life really seems to have gone downhill..
I'd never minded my area despite the fact it was reknown to be quite a "rough" place to live, but I just chilled with my friends and just roamed the streets anyway. One time we were stopped by two older boys who have families which are quite tough and they are known to be tough themselves - anyways they made us walk around with them threatening us at the same time and made my other two friends who were with me give them something quite expensive because of complications - it was theirs in the first place. They mugged me without actually taking anything, they mugged me of my confidence to walk around my own area freely at night. I slowly got over this but then the same kind of thing happened a few months later with the same two guys, so now i really was wary of my own area, i didn't mind it in the daytime but at night I didn't really want to walk around, if you don't obey what these haters do then basically you're either going to get stabbed or a brick through your window - so everyone in my area does what they tell them to. I wanted to do anything to avoid this. I lived my life anyways moving on, smoking weed on a regular nightly basis at my friends house and working in the evenings. This went on until around a month or so ago one of the guys added me to MSN and had my name in his name saying he was going to get me then he said to me i had been saying stuff about him and he is going to beat me up since this news my OCD has gone into over drive, I became very panicky thinking I can't even walk in my own area during the day or night because if he sees me he is going to humiliate me. But I must go to work which is past his area - this stresses me. I stopped smoking weed almost immediately because weed has always made me kind of paranoid anyways when I was on it but I knew that if I was stoned and had that worry in my head I would just obsess over the worry and panic even more - so i stopped. But now I think my OCD has gone into overdrive from the stress and worry of it all and I can not think of anything else apart from the fact that this madman hates me with a passion, and if he sees me he is going to display this hatred in the most wicked of ways. It is so draining, I do not go out anymore, I do not see my friends anymore because they all smoke weed and thats the only thing they do and i dont anymore, i just sit inside and go to work but whilst at work or at home i am still thinking about this thought over and over and over and over and its the worst feeling ever. I feel so alone, no one cares, no one knows, I need to get away from this area. It really does seem as rough as everyone was saying..
I know that if he does get me I'll be even more screwed than I am now inside my head and it surely will tip me over the edge. I just needed to get it all out because it is all in my head and it is stuck there i wake up and remember that he is after me everyday and from that moment I feel sad and distracted with it for the rest of the day.
