Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I will be interested to read what others say. My 9 year old son can’t stand to have me talk to other people. Its like he is extremely jealous. Friends and family have all noticed it. If I am talking to someone he always rudely interrupts and in a since tries to have the focus on him. I have read about reassurance, is that what that is? Along with that my son has his worst behaviors around other people, he talks like a baby, squirms, gets loud, extremely annoying. Its like is is a anxiety thing but I can’t figure out why. He does this even in our house when others come over. This is probably one of the worse things I am dealing with that is causing me to hibernate from others which I know is not good. Look forward to hearing what others say about this. DP _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Dana Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 9:04 AM Subject: Clingy Question.. I was wondering if any of you have seen this symptom. I have read many times that it goes along with OCD. Here's what's been going on: My husband, son, and I are very close. is our only child so we pretty much have done everything with him. Since this OCD (whether it's PANDAS or not) has started is EXTREMELY cling to me. He wants to be close to where ever I may be. He wants alot of hugs and alot of reasurrance. Last night I was on the phone talking to a girlfriend. He wanted me to talk to him because he was having bad thoughts about getting the stomach flu. I told him he would have to wait and we had talked about that earlier. After I got off the phone he was almost like he was mad at me. He will also talk in a whining kind of voice. He typically never does any of this stuff...and it's all or at least most of it is geared to or happens around me. I read where it was typical to see age regression for a while in a Pandas child. Also, he has been achy which I also saw was a side effect of Pandas OCD. Has anybody else had this stuff happen? He almost seems like he is obsessed with me at times. Thanks for your help.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 I think that the clinging is a symptom of his anxiety. Hopefully, as his anxiety decreases, his behavior will change.

Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Dana, Both of my kids have done this in the past , and still do it at times.(they both have ocd) my nt dd has never done this.My son has always complained of every body ache also.Both of my kids are also very whiny. I believe these symptoms go along with the anxiety. hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Hi, I forgot to mention , I remember in the past , my dd was so clingy, if I had people over she would have to sit with me on the couch and be right up against me. She will do this now still , at times when we go places, and she is 9 yrs old. She has always had severe separation anxiety, (along with her other issues) Hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted August 9, 2006 Report Share Posted August 9, 2006 Just curious, has anyone experienced their kids as babies getting so upset that they held their breath and passed out? Both of mine did that just had a thought that it might be related to all this. DP _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of jchabot Sent: Wednesday, August 09, 2006 2:41 PM Subject: Re: Clingy Question..
