Ok so you all might know that this Friday is Friday the 13th. Now due to my magical thinking OCD I am really superstitious and dreading this Friday. I have had voices all week telling me something bad is going to happen on that day and I don't know what to do. I can't talk to my psychiatrist cause our next appointment is in 2 weeks, my mum thinks I'm being over dramatic and that I need to snap out of it and my teacher just laughed at me when I told her. Can any of you help? Please? I really don't know what to do!!

Can you call your psychiatrist? Or call a helpline? Or a local crisis team? Maybe make a plan for the day you think you could stick too, if its gonna be a hard day anyway to push yourself too much that you can't handle it. Or maybe write down what you feel your at risk from/to and give it to those supporting you such as family or friends so they know what your thinking and maybe some suggestions of what they might be able to do to help? (I'm guessing you could get suggestions from your psychiatrist/helpline/crisis team if you can get hold of them). Sorry I don't have much advice other than that, and of course there's almost always people on here who I'm sure will help any way they can!

Hi, I have just read this, I hope you are doing ok.I am very sorry to hear about the response you have received, people should not react in that way, I guess its just another example of people not understanding the way mental health problems work, you can't just snap out of it... =/

On Friday 13 this year, I shut my head in a car door. It hurt. I wouldn't recommend it
