Today, I asked my mother if we could test me for OCD, since so many people have suggested to me that I might have it. She smiles at me and says, "No, honey, you're just really really weird." FML

Today, I was officially diagnosed with OCD. My mother's reaction? "That's not possible, she's a fucking slob." FML

Today, I was formally diagnosed with obsessive-compulsive tendencies. My mom saw this as an excuse to make me clean the whole house top to bottom, because "Hey, you love to clean." FML

Today, I went to the doctor's office, where my mother happens to work. When my doctor tried to prank her by saying I have chlamydia, my mother laughed and said she didn't believe it, adding, "Have you even seen the way she interacts with boys?" FML

Today, I was talking to my mom lamenting the fact that none of my few relationships seem to last longer than 2 months. She asked why and I said, "because I'm paranoid, obsessive compulsive, judgmental, defensive, and stubborn." Instead of encouraging me, she said, "Well, at least you're honest." FML

Today, my mother threw a fit because the psychologist she got me suggested I visit a psychiatrist. Apparently, it's my fault because I "choose" to be so "crazy". FML

Today, I asked my father if it was okay for me to take an ADHD test. He spent about 30 minutes yelling at as to why that is a dumb idea. I have asked multiple people who know me better than anyone else and they believe that I might have ADHD. FML

Today, my mother made me see the doctor to see if I had irritable bowel syndrome, on the account of how often I go to the restroom. I then had to admit I only go in there to get away from my family. My doctor thought it was hilarious. My mom didn't. FML

Today, I finally thought that my mother was okay with me being a lesbian. Then, over dinner, she turns to me and says, "So, do you still think you like girls, or are you going to start being normal again?" FML

Today, my mum told me I should see a therapist when she saw me wipe down a remote before using it. My dad has a knack for blowing his nose into his hand and wiping it on his pants, and my mum is the kind to pick up food residue from the drain and eat it - but sure, I'M the one with bad habits. FML

Today, I was diagnosed with polycystic ovaries and confided in my mom, after being told I would have trouble having kids. Five minutes later, I hear the whole family laughing about it downstairs. FML

I dunno, I don't think this really counts as an FYL or a YDI. It's just kinda like a.. I'm sorry? I mean, my mom calls me weird all the time. So what?

omg that sucks, lol. by the way there really is no "test" for OCD. the best thing to do is go to a psychologist or therapist who specializes in OCD and have them evaluate you. if you are up for the drive (which i am pretty sure you wont be) UCLA has a GREAT OCD program. that is were i went when i was diagnosed with severe OCD. good luck.

A bit of OCD (Obsessive Compulsive DISORDER) is called Obsessive Compulsive Behavior and if it doesn't interfere with your life, it is not something that requires professional help. My daughter has a fairly mild case of OCD and with the help of a psychologist alone (no meds!), she is able to control it. You should go to a psychologist first and let them diagnose your condition. Don't let your mom's stupid comment deter you. And do it soon, these things are often more easily treated if treated early. Good luck.

I think his mom WAS being supportive. Even if he does have a disorder or something, she's just trying to tell him not to worry because he's just different. Why is the word "weird" such a bad thing for a mother to say if she's smiling and being loving about it? Besides- we don't know who's been calling him ocd, if it's just your friends saying that you do strange things then there's not merit. Also, if a disorder isn't hurting you at all, then what does it matter?
