I am having serious self-worth issues?
If you choose to read this, thank you.
Before I begin, it is important to note that I am sixteen.
First of all, I am not gonna lie, I have issues. My mom and I both have a severe case of OCD and other weird stuff like restless legs syndrome. However these issues weren't anywhere near as bad as they are now.
I am depressed from a romantic pursuit: there is this girl that I have liked for a few months. I never talked to her till a month ago, when I thought that she had a crush on me. I DID see her at some point looking at me like she was interested. Now that I am talking to her, she seems to avoid me and I can hardly talk to her. As a result, I feel very alone (not to mention sad). I also feel like I still have a chance with her, even though part of me says that I have screwed up really badly. She is very shy, and I do not know what to do. Thank you for reading all of this.

Unfortunately, with OCD, a slew of "side affects" can happen, such as paranoia, self doubt, etc. You are very aware of yourself, it seems, and your underlying issues (OCD). Keep in mind that if she's shy, don't push too hard to get her to open up to you as this will make her want to run, most likely. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder is based on the urge to do things repetitively in fear of something bad happening and thinking someone might not like you can be part of that. Don't give up hope! OCD is also treatable, as well as RLS, so I urge you to talk to your doctor or even a guidance counselor at school. I hope this helps!
