<p>I don't want to come across as another sob story but I just joined this site because I have many fears for my future and would like to get proper guidance to get on the right path.</p>
<p>I am starting my junior year of high school btw.</p>
<p>I have had OCD since early adolescence, it has affected my life greatly. From junior high till my sophomore year I didn't even know I had OCD even though I had all the hallmarks of it, it wasn't until I had two therapists confirm my condition for me when it really sunk in.</p>
<p>But before that the overwhelming anxiety and stress and intrusive thoughts and general hell of this disorder really effected some of my school work. In my freshman year the disorder was so disabling I did not want to leave home. I ended up homeschooling but before they tried to get me on the 504 and another mental disorder act for the school to give me certain accommodations. </p>
<p>My freshman year I did not do so fabulously (failed 2 elective classes and my algebra class) and my sophomore year I only failed psychology and passed all other classes. </p>
<p>I'm going to retake the algebra class and psych class I failed and pass them but I know colleges will see those bad grades and I just feel like a failure. </p>
<p>I'm so scared what will happen to me as I have many plans for the future but all of them involve getting into college first. I live in California and want to get into a UC school. </p>
<p>I think my chances of getting into college are already ruined because of those few F's/D+ and I don't know if they will understand how OCD impairs me. I am on medication for it now and go to therapy but it does still affect me and I don't know if there's anything I can look into for help like services that can be provided to me.</p>
