Guest guest Posted June 20, 2007 Report Share Posted June 20, 2007 hi new to group ...my 11 yr old son just diagnosed with ocd - he has the kind where his thoughts upset him ... he is afraid he is going to hurt people, steal things, he also worries about his health. he is asks me every night what if i have something bad and no one knows about it ? he worries his heart is going to stop beating at a moments notice and that his throat is going to close up --- his thoughts are mainly at night right before bedtime. he is afraid to go to sleep and panics at the thought of it and usually bursts into tears i myself have ocd and the therapist seems to think its genetic. i know how to talk to myself about my issues but i am finding it hard to comfort my 11 year old. what is the best way to comfort an 11 year old?
