help..

I just can't do this anymore. I am 17 years old with OCD and severe hyperhidrosis on my hands and feet. I have tried everything: botox, drysol, robinol, ditropan for the HH and god knows how many things I've tried with the OCD. I've had both of these conditions since 10 years old; I've never done anything social. Never had fun or friends. I have no one that wants to understand and the only advice i get is to "get out more", Like it's that simple. I have no where to go and no one that wants me to be with them. I can't drive,  have never had a job, and just in total don't want to do this anymore. Even my birthday money is taken every year for financial reasons, which is BS because my  siblings get everything they ask for. All i've looked forward to since 11 years old is to have a dog to be my friend, and we live in no pet housing, and now even that is gone since my doctor won't recommend it and instead wants to continue pointless therapy and get a job. Just what i need: no friends, no fun, no ANYTHING ENJOYABLE and MORE responsibilities on top of maintaining a good average. What's the point in going on?

You now have a new friend.  I do not know who ex model is, but what a wonderful persepctive she gave you from her own experience...down and out at 17, now living the life she wants, on her own terms....you can get there too...the dark period now is not the end of the tunnel...you must tell your therapist how horrible you feel, and how desperate you are, but you must also follow the suggestion ex model gave you...go to a shelter, volunteer, start doing what you want with animals, but keep working with the therapist..you will find an answer......no one here can find you to help you anymore, so if you are at your wits end, do talk to your therapist and your parents, and stay in touch with ex model.

Hi Alphawolf90,  Im sorry that im not a Doctor or anything, just i was browsing by and  i saw your letter here.  I feel so bad that you havent made friends with anyone yet and  i remember myself at 17 and i was aloner too... I always loved animals and now look at me i left London to come here to Greece to help save the stray and abused animals here,.. I have many dogs... I could let you adopt one Alpha? Of coarse i dont want money.. U could look at the pictures of the dogs and choose one  i took of the streets and i could care it whilst you named it and i sent you regular updates etc... Why do u say you cant drive!! At 17 i started to learn to drive but i didnt pass my test till i was 21.. I failed it many times, so at 17 not to drive is no big deal.. Why dont you visit a dog shelter to see the dogs, as i know for a fact that one of the dogs there will be in need of company and a walk and how those dogs in the shelter will be grateful... Please send me a message and i will add you as my friend so we can chat if you want sometime? You know im lonely too, i have my animals but most people here in Greece think im mad for caring for them and so noone really talks to me so we can be friends together.. Take care... Whats your name?
