Hi, I am 18 years old and i have OCD and i do the same as you i stay up late until 3am or 4am sometime just organizing or cleaning stuff up even just touching stuff i have been trying to deal with it on my own for 2 years and it has just gotten even worse, the other day i made an appointment to go to my local doctors i was so nervous i asked my mum to come with me, my doctor said he understands and he will help me get better, he refered me to another doctor who specialises in OCD and other things like nervousness in public and depression i am currently waiting to letter telling me when my appointment to see this person is and although i am nervous i was very releieved after taking the step and finally seeing a doctor about it, this is what you need to do make an appoinment to see your doctor and talk it through tell them exactly what you are experiencing they can and will help that is their job also ocd can't really be 'cured' it is controlled by therapy sessions and talking it through the doctors may be able to give you some type of mild drug to help you to cope with it but i myself don't want to take any drugs weather they are just mild or not, this is because there is always the chance of becomming addicted and that is just not something i am willling to risk at the end of the day only you and the help of a specialised doctor can control your ocd, i hope you get better soon good luck Health Question & Answer
