OCD is Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I have been Googling my symptoms all day until I came upon an article about OCD. I get these thoughts that someone in my family is going to get hurt if I do not do something, so what i do is shake my head a few times, really fast, then I say out loud, " NO!" or, "Stop!" Or, " **** Off" Then it goes away for a few minutes or sometimes a few seconds then comes back again.
When my mind is occupied like when I am at school, or socializing It usually does not happen, but when I am alone, or at my house it happens a lot. Sometimes I don't even get any thoughts, just then strange feeling in my head and I have to then shake my head, fast, and say, " No!" or, "Stop!" or," **** Off!" then it goes away for a little bit.
I have not been to a Doctor, I have not told anyone about this.
I am 14 years old.
Do i have OCD?
What should I do? ( please do not say stupid ****, this is serious)

I personally do not think this is OCD. OCD is a disorder where u have to do things like touching a pole (example) everytime. If someone wets their left palm, they have to wet the right one too that is OCD. You have a fear and that would categorize it in phobia's.
You are just very concerened about your family's safety that is why you are thinking about this subconciously all the time. Because if it were a disorder of some kind you would get those feelings even when your mind was occupied. When you do not have anything to think about your subconcious fear resurfaces and that is when you start getting those feelings.
And hey, I am not a doc but I would really appreciate if you talk to your parents about your fears and stuff. Maybe they can help. You are too young. You need to communicate with your family instead of asking random people about your problems. Or else the best person is to go talk to a doctor. But I would recommend sharing your thoughts and feelings with your parents first.
And I am not saying that internet is false or whatever but if people started diagnosing stuff based on internet then what's the point in people spending so much of money and time and energy going to medical school. Anyone could be a brain surgeon if they have internet at home. Stuff on internet can be used as a reference source just for understanding how things work, the signs and symptoms given on any condition are not what every person with that condition will experience. I am not trying to patronize you need to understand that internet isn't the solution to everything.
Bless ya!
