Awwwwwwwww, poor little guy. ( I've often wonder how much my health issues and the fear they've caused have affected our son, and made his OCD worse. I've felt horrible, even some guilt, yet know that it has been out of my control. It's so nice that your son felt safe enough to tell the counselor that. It's good he can talk about it.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 , I'm so glad things are better! Stress can make OCD and tics worse. I think in the FILES section of this group - where there's lots of info - there's some good information regarding OCD and school. We'll all be happy to share things we've found helpful regarding accommodations, etc., for school that are in 504 Plans or IEPs. Gotta go, but again I'm happy Austin (and mom & dad) are feeling better! > > I want to thank each of you that have responded to my > message......to many to name.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Once when I felt like a horrible mother for having bipolar disorder and swinging moods that made it impossible for me to be the mother I wanted to be, a therapist told me I was not a bad mother but a compromised mother who was doing the best she could. That made me feel better. Thought I'd pass that along. Imogene Re: Thanks To All of You!

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Thanks, Imogene....I needed to hear that too. I try so hard to not let my bipolar interfere with my mothering, but dd is old enough now that she can definitely tell when things aren't right. She probably sensed it when she was younger, too.

Guest guest Posted March 29, 2007 Report Share Posted March 29, 2007 Laurie, My kids know when my mood is " off " too. We have a way to handle it in our family. Anyone who has an " off " mood can call a " mood alert. " (just say the words " mood alert " ) This signals to the rest of the family to leave them alone, that they are not feeling well, or to ask them what can be done to help. We all call mood alerts now, so it normalizes my illness to feelings everyone has now and then. Imogene Re: Re: Thanks To All of You! Thanks, Imogene....I needed to hear that too.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 I want to thank all who took the time to write today. I will definately look at the websites recommended to me. Ricky ended the day on a bad note by slamming my front door so hard that part of the door frame broke and he kicked out part of my screen door. The maintenence man came by and fixed the door frame so i could shut and lock the door. I taped up the screen door so i could have the cool air in my apt. I will be surprised if i don't get evicted for all this damage(not the first time). My landlord knows about his problems. I still worry. Good night everyone.

Guest guest Posted June 30, 2009 Report Share Posted June 30, 2009 Hi, , with all the GFCF talk...I have to elaborate further...I truly just mentioned GFCF so that if YOU thought it would work for your child...that you could do it on a budget....please know that I was trying to help you see that you have the power....I was not recommending anything.....I wish I had made that clear earlier...I'm sorry if I didn't. Rely on God --- let Him help you make the best decision for Ricky...he will guide you. e From: Wylie <mlwpdb@...>"autism " <autism >Sent: Monday, June 29, 2009 10:02:05 PMSubject: Thanks to all of you!
