My OCD/anxiety and lonliness

Hey everybody, this is my first time posting on a forum about my ocd. I'm a 22 year old male, and am positive that I have had ocd since I was a little kid, although I have never been diagnosed. Almost every day for the past year, I obsess about my health, and my heart rate/blood pressure. When I'm just hanging out at home, I'll look at the clock and feel my pulse multiple times to check my heart rate. I also have some pretty bad anxiety sometimes. I just feel so lonely about not having anyone to honestly talk to me about what I go through every day ..whenever I talk to my mom about my feelings she just says "don't focus on it, think positive" but that just makes it harder.

My dad when I was young was a brief alcoholic (has bipolar and compulsive spending) and yelled a lot when I was young, so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with my OCD. Currently I hit my bathroom door and left a small dent because of anxiety, and now am afraid that EVERY time I look at that dent, I'll feel anxious, and that the anxiety will affect my heart/age me. I know, it's rediculous lol. Please comment if you can relate to me, and maybe help me with some tips to getting past my thoughts. Thanks

The trick is to decide you aren't going to care anymore. A song "whatever will be will be" presents a mindset that will be constructive to your recovery.

I am here for you, we are here for you. You will find support in these forums.

Letting go of your fear and deciding you're going to live a good life anyways is the way out.
