Stupid OCD
ok so this is so stupid and it’s so annoying, and I feel embarrassed to talk about it, my phone has a glass screen protector so I can remove it easily then those adhesive ones that get bubbles thing is , when changing it , or removing for any reason , it gets hair , dust , dirt and the rainbow lines that appear when a liquid substance touches the phone , if it’s on the screen protector or the screen it’s easy to remove but it’s on the inside of the screen protector, the one that touches the screen and it’s annoying because I keep seeing something that catches my attention, and this thing only started a few days ago when just normally cleaning it and I genuinely don’t remember how I was like before getting OCD on the screen thing , I’m so frustrated I have alot going on , school , friends , family and all and this is just so annoying cus I always go on my phone and , the dirt is literally on the inside of the screen so I have to remove and clean again and again and UGH!
it’s so freaking annoying , i genuinely don’t understand how I was like before ughhhhhhh
I don’t think anyone can help me
I know that distracting my self and probably not going on the phone would help but no , that’s impossible and stuff , and I have literally bought so many screen protectors and broke so many just for this
And my dad’s gonna buy a new protector and I’ll tell my dad to apply it as he is good at it but, I’m worried the same thing could happen – dirt could get on the screen then the screen protector on top and this one isnt easy to apply and remove.. I’m really worried , it was happening before schl when I was late and I was crying
what can help me :(??
Hi fluffy99,
That does sound frustrating. I wonder if this is about more than just the phone screen protector? You mentioned that you have lots going on with school, friends and family. You are welcome to talk about what's going on with all of these things if you like, either here on the message boards or you can email the helpline on helpline@nacoa.org.uk or call on 0800 358 3456 as many times as you would like.

thanks so much for caring
I do have alot going on , I was forced to move schools and leave my friends and I don't like it in my new school and I really want to go back because my dad told me towards the end of my last school year that I'm moving , it was so sudden and i might've liked it for a bit but I started getting stressed and made the decision to go back but my dad was not on my side at all , he shouted and blamed at me and even checked my messages with friends , which is okay because he is my dad but he shouted at me really badly and I hated it , he told every one and even ranted about me to other people in front of me , which was really upsetting and I have just been stressed at this , I have been trying to enjoying the new school but I still want to go back and I'm positive this is the reason why I have the OCD mentioned before
A lot has happened in a short amount of time, which sounds very overwhelming. It can also be quite exhausting going through multiple changes at once. I am sorry to hear about dad shouting and him talking to other people about you. It sounds very scary and you did not deserve that. Very glad you found this space, please continue using it, you are not alone!
