This is Melissa

And Gianna has been experiencing things lately

That Drvies Melissa

CRAZY!!!

Thats out of her control

Somethings that she would do:

Ordering and arranging things in a particular order

Repetition of Words

Repeatedly checking over things

Melissa's mother has noticed all the rituals that Melissa would have. Which concerned her, but she didn't think any more of it.

Hmm... This doesn't look right.

The next day, Melissa was late for the bus again. The reason why is because she was worried, she had not turned off the sink after she finished brushing her teeth. So she had to go check the bathroom, and luckily the sink was off. She then ran to get her shoes, and saw that the shoes were misplaced, Melissa had to put them away the right way. Then she walked out the door counting her steps as she goes to the bus stop, but thought to herself did I close the door before I left. She ran back to her house to find the door shut closed. She was relived and ran to the bus stop counting the number of steps taken, only to see that the bus drove off already. 

Melissa told her mother that she was late again. Melissa's mother was furious, but she didn't say anything but walked to the car which Melissa followed. They drove in silence, not knowing what to say. Her mother drove in front of the school, and Melissa thank her and ran inside. She ran into her classroom to see that class was about to start. She walked to her desk and sat there silently. 

After the class was over for recess, Mr.Brown pulled Melissa over the side and asked. Melissa is there something wrong, why you're always late for class? Melissa didn't know what to say, like how is she going to explain the things that she did at home, because no one really knows except her mom. Melissa also felt weird about talking about it. But Mr.Brown reassured her that he could tell him what was wrong. Melissa was hesitant at first but told him everything. After telling him, she was scared that he would judge her, Melissa looked at Mr.Brown. Only to show her a clam expression, you know Melissa I don't think there is nothing to worry about it, but I feel that you should see a doctor. 

2019-2020 Planner

When I finished up with school, I gotten home, placed my shoes on the shoe rack, placed my stuff in my room, and ran to my mother to tell her my whole conversation with Mr.Brown. My mother at first wasn't sure if I actually needed a doctor to help me with my situation. Then she thought about it for a while and scheduled an appointment for me.

When I have gotten into the hospital to my hospital room. I had thoughts racing in my head. Did Mom lock the door when we left, did I use my left arm the even amount of times I do with my right arm. I looked over to see my right leg placed on my left, so I switched it out. Only to feel that I should do the same for my left leg. At this point, I was stressed out which my mom has noticed. My mom was going to ask me something, then a nurse came in with a clipboard and a pencil. She asked me a few questions which I answered honestly, and terribly because I had felt that she didn't hear some things I said so I repeated to make sure she knew. She nodded and wrote some notes down and told us that our doctor would come in shortly. So we waited...

My doctor came in and told me and my mom the news.

Melissa all the symptoms that you been having are signs of OCD.

At first I didn't really get it.

But then he explained to me.
