Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 Well, after almost 2 months of no or very few bad thoughts, it appears that it may be back for Ben, he's 7. I just heard him do his mumble thing " me shooting you with a gun, I mean blaster, but I don't mean that " . I'm trying so hard not to cry. Things were going so well. I tried to talk about it with him, but he doesn't want to talk this time. He says he is trying to ignore it. Crap, I don't want this to happen again. I feel like I've been punched in the stomach. My poor boy. I'm trying not to over react but, mentally, I'm preparing for battle again. Well, off to call the therapist, as soon as I have my cry. Thanks for listening.

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 I can tell my sons OCD is slowly starting to come back, what is that? Why? Is it more stress in his life? Its driving me crazy trying to figure this out. Adele _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Dina Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 2:30 PM Subject: Re: It's baaaaack , I'm so sorry! We had 9 whole months of ZERO symptoms with my 11 yr. old on Prozac last year. I really thought we had found just the right med. Then she went through a couple of rough months again last spring. Upped the Prozac and added Zyprexa. We are in the process of weaning off the Zyprexa and she's doing great and the thoughts are gone again. But, I remember last spring when she first started saying, " I think I'm going to throw up. " again. I also felt like I'd been punched. I guess we can never let down our guard! He'll get better again! Dina Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 , Oh, I am so sorry, but it may not be a severe bout this time. You and he know and understand a whole lot more now and this may be just a temporary setback in how well he has been doing. I think everyone on this board's heart breaks right along with you, but don't expect the worst because it may not come to that at all. Dina <dina.n.jones@...> wrote: , I'm so sorry!

Guest guest Posted November 10, 2006 Report Share Posted November 10, 2006 yes, he said " great, this is going to take another 6 months to go away. " I told him that it wasn't because this time we know what to do. He said " oh, yeah! " So far, it was an isolated incident, but we are mentally preparing for another round. Thanks everyone. He has been acting odd lately, taking naps, cranky, tired and over emotional. He even said he was depressed, which is new. I though he might have picked up a bug or something. He just learned the word depressed from a movie. Who knows, but as dh said, get your game face on.

Guest guest Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 , We are going through the same thing, isn't that weird? My son had a horrible summer, he fears weather and other things and we stayed indoors for 3 - 4 months. Then he did wonderful, back to his old self. Just this last week he is getting cranky, having melt downs, over hyper at times, demanding, had a bad rage, etc. Very strange. I am trying to just stop and hug him at times, get him to talk when he is upset, etc. Not sure what else to do. Try and take as much stress off him as possible. Good luck! _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Sent: Friday, November 10, 2006 9:53 PM Subject: Re: It's baaaaack yes, he said " great, this is going to take another 6 months to go away.
