Part of Bre's ocd is confessing every little thing. I have even had

to tell her to not confess it all...that it is her ocd seeking

reassurance. It goes against the grain of parenting to tell her to

think horrible things, when I want to reassure her! lol. But I know

ocd is not logical and it will only keep her stuck. That was the

hardest thing for me to accept! If the neighbors heard me talk!

I also get songs stuck in my head and think things over and over too

much, though like you no anxiety with it. Maybe I have ocd

personality. lol. Anyway I hope feels better soon and tell

him I am proud of him. He's an awesome kid!
