Is this OCD mixed with other disorders?

Hi. I'm 14 years old.
I didn't go on medhelp for almost a year, but came back because I'm really desperate for help.

This happened for about a year now.
In public, I get very anxious around people. And when I'm with people, my eyes cannot focus. I cannot look at people directly in the eye or look straight at them. My eyes also have tics (I have tourettes by the way) and it gets squinty. Thus, it makes people think I'm looking at them "evil". It makes people uncomforatable.
Added to this however is even worse. My eyes focus on other people's parts, particularly the thighs, chest, genitila, and hair. It's been killing me lately because I don't know how to explain to them. I can't make friends.
I've lost control of my eyes and sometimes, I don't even notice that I'm looking at the parts. It's weird. Sometimes i do, but it's very compulsive. It's not like I have a sexual attraction to them BECAUSE I DO NOT.
Sometiems my head is too high so it looks like I'm looking down. or sometimes my had is too low, which makes it look like i'm looking at other parts.

Yes, I do get very anxious around other people but it's because of this symptom.

Please help.. I'm desperate. What can I do? What is this? Is this OCD?

If you need to ask more questiosn about it, please let me know. Ill answer anything.

It may be really difficult, but it could change your life for the better.  That's something you want, right?  Don't be afraid to take the first step.  We all have to start somewhere.

Do you see a doctor for this?  Have you explained your symptoms?  I know it can be embarassing to say out loud.  Sometimes what I do is write kind of like a short journal entry and have the dr read it before he comes in the room.

I think you should also try talk therapy.  This can help you with coping techniques and how to deal with panic attacks.  And just life in general.

Be cautious about any treatments you find online and have to pay for.

Let me know if you need to talk.

I developed severe anxiety and panic attacks late 2007 and I am almost out of it.  I did not find help until late 2008.  I bought a program that helped me a lot.  The program works but you have to go through all of it. I subscribed to their Expert Advice In My Free Mini-Series by entering my email.  Just by reading that most of  all of my panic/anxiety went away within weeks. Then I ordered the program and it all went away.  I am free again.  It is called www.anxiety-release-method.com.  I also looked at www.panic-anxiety.com because it worked for a friend of mine and they are both excellent.  it also works for OCD.  

Hope it helps

I'd also like to add that I always have a panic/anxiety attack seconds before the symtoms begin.
