Possibility Of Having OCD(Obsessive Compulsion Disorder)

I am 17 years of age, and I think I may have slight ocd, but I am always stressed out over little things, and I feel I need to take care of my little brother and sister when they have 2 very capable parents, what can I do to relieve the stress, and relinquish the control I need for them?

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. I do not think that you have OCD. Obsessive–compulsive disorder (OCD) is an anxiety disorder characterized by intrusive thoughts that produce uneasiness, apprehension, fear, or worry; by repetitive behaviors aimed at reducing the associated anxiety; or by a combination of such obsessions and compulsions.
Do you have it? Not a remote possibility.

You are trying to live a irresponsible life. You are not interested to do household works. Why are you stressed in doing little things? Here comes the key. You are aged 17. People of this age have vibrant and very active mind. They want to do so many things and naturally circumstances do not allow. Even if circumstances allow, there shall be no resources. Stagnation occurs, desperation and dissatisfaction occurs. This leads to irritation and then stress. Hope you can understand.

Utilize the vibrancy and creativity positively. Set a goal. Plan your future. Make a time table for next 10 years and stick to it. Acquire as much knowledge as possible. You will feel free when you have a task in your hand.

Please post a direct question to me in this website. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe some psychotherapy techniques which should help you cure your condition further.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
