J - Re: feeling sad: need to vent....

[Guest guest]

Wow , if that's not OCD then I'm at a loss (re your description

of son's wiping)!!

I quickly read Kathy R's reply to you and have to say avoidance is

common. did this too, avoid. Might be stuck for hours if

he attempted something. So, he couldn't pick up a pencil, look at a

page in a book, couldn't touch things, didn't want to get up to do

something (if it had taken a lot of trouble to sit down in the first

place).... Bedtime was a huge issue. Often when I'd say " time for

bed " he'd ask for a few minutes, saying it'd be easier if later than

now; guess maybe he was psyching himself up, don't know. But it

could take a couple hours some nites before he managed to get in/on

his bed and it felt " right. "

Well, got to get to work. More later, but hang in there!
