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?

Being weird is a good thing. If your not weird, that means you are pretty much just another clone in life. Take me and my mom for example. If she said that to me, I would have said, "Thank you! Your really really weird to!", then we would start doing freaky dances around the kitchen or something :P

People can work their way out of OCD. Takes a little time, and a little resolve. I did it, and now there's no problem.

Hey, I'm weird too and have figured out I have Asperger's Syndrome, but am I asking my parents to get me tested? No.

How is it that half of you people think there is a test for OCD?

Okay... I don't see how this is so terrible. My mom thought I was lying about being a cutter for three years... I'm not OCD but I have some of the weirdest quirks.. and I must say.. just because your mother says you're really really weird.. doesnt mean much.. I get that on the regular... hell... I spent over twenty minutes... organizing.. and reorganzing the cleaners under the sink by name size dominant color and nozzle type and shape... All I got was a ... well at least youre cleaning something.. xD

I think maybe just the fact that her mother doesn't believe her is an FML... My Mom doesn't believe me when I say anything. :/

Well if she considers you really weird you might have OCD like you thought.

it sucks for teenagers who actually have these conditions (OCD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, depression, etc.) because there are SO many teens (especially girls) that lie about having them, just so they can get attention. so more than often, parents think that the child is lying just to be "unique" or so they can have problems. i've been diagnosed with depression (medically), but people don't think it's a big deal just because so many people claim to have it. but mental illnesses ARE a big deal and need to be helped. op: if you have done research and still think you have OCD, talk to your mom again. if you just have a strange personality that's different than everyone else, be quiet.
