Identify & describe your chosen mental health issue. st16108 https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/159861222 OCD is a condition that affects people of all age- including teens and kids. It causes obsessions, which are fears, doubts, and worries that take over and changes a persons thoughts and daily routines.

Here are some of the side affects 
  • hand washing until the skin becomes raw
  • avoidance of situations that can trigger obsessions, such as shaking hands
  • checking doors repeatedly to make sure they’re locked
  • checking the stove repeatedly to make sure it’s off
  • counting in certain patterns
  • making sure canned goods all face the same way
  • picking at the skin resulting in skin lesions
  • hair pulling resulting in hair loss or bald spots

 It affects the way you act around your friends and you worry that they may pick up on your strange behaviour. This affects the way your friends think of you. Losing your friends can cause your obsession to get worse or can lead to depression. ]]> 2017-03-14 01:53:15 UTC https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/159862140 Social st16108 https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/159862151 Find it hard to interact around your friends and difficult to make new friends.

These are some coping strategies I found off the internet.
Exercise regularly
  • It can help control OCD symptoms by strengthening your nervous system helping you to refocus your mind when obsessive thoughts and compulsions arise. For max benefit do at least 30 minutes or more every day or two. 
Stay connected to family and friends
  • Social isolation will aggravate your OCD symptoms. It’s important to invest in relating to family and friends. Talking face-to-face about your worries and urges can make them feel less real and less threatening.
Get enough sleep
  • Lack of sleep can also exacerbate anxious thoughts and feelings. When you’re well rested, it’s much easier to keep your emotional balance, a key factor in coping with anxiety disorders such as OCD.

Practice relaxation techniques
  • Stress can trigger symptoms or make them worse. Mindful meditation, yoga, deep breathing, and other relaxation techniques can help lower your overall stress and tension levels and help you manage your urges. To get the best results do relaxation techniques every day or two. 

I think that these strategies would work really well. I think staying connected with your family is one the most important to me because your family will always want to help you and they can encourage you to try new things and will support you.

By learning more about this, scientists may in time be able to develop better treatments.

I just can't imagine having to check if the oven is closed, the doors are lock or having everything in perfect order. Even though my dad hasn't really got OCD he likes to check with me if the bunges are in the boat. He says 3 bungs tight and then I have to say it back to him. ]]> 2017-03-21 01:56:31 UTC https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/161366404 How OCD works st16108 https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/161368263 2017-03-21 02:17:52 UTC https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/161368263 Getting to school with OCD st16108 https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/161368381 2017-03-21 02:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/st16108/ec9px88u6hgh/wish/161368381
