My OCD and the amount of anxiety it causes me

Okay so I've been diagnosed with OCD and I'm missing school because of the amount of anxiety it causes me. I don't want to miss school or go in late because of it. I worried people at school are going to think I'm weird and not going to want to be my friend anymore because of it? I'm 15 and I'm stressing my mum and dad out a lot too and that causes me more worry. I'm on the waiting list for CBT but until then what can I do?

Okay so I've again recently been diagnosed with pretty bad OCD, based around contamination and the fear of death. I've got into compulsive hand washing and I don't know how or why. It's starting to make my hands dry and sore and I don't know what I can do to try to stop? If anyone could help that would be great thankyou

Thankyou I'll have to have a look

Okay so I've recently been diagnosed with ocd and I don't know wether or how to tell my friends. Can anybody share their experiences on how they told their friends/ how it went? I feel like I can't keep it from them.
