Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 usually seemed to have a harder time around the holidays. When he was younger, the excitement of the holidays seemed to increase his OCD. He'd be sooo excited about presents, etc. But when he got older, thus less excited, LOL, I think just the weeks and weeks of school had worn him down so that his OCD increased. He always started the school year pretty well usually, but around November/Thanksgiving would begin to show signs. > > My dd OCD seems to become worse around October each year and last until > about January.

Guest guest Posted December 12, 2007 Report Share Posted December 12, 2007 For us, it seems to be winter illness that sparks a flare up, but definitely worse in winter. Summer was okay. We are all sick right now. J Re: Time of the year usually seemed to have a harder time around the holidays. When he was younger, the excitement of the holidays seemed to increase his OCD.

Guest guest Posted December 14, 2007 Report Share Posted December 14, 2007 We have seen the same pattern and like you, can't really tell if it is increased pressure from school, lack of daylight, etc. but it has been very consistent. If you could get the school to work with you and the Dr. to try reduced homework one year, that may allow you to tell if it is school pressure or not. angela1959nb <angela1959@...> wrote: My dd OCD seems to become worse around October each year and last until about January.

She also has to much expectation concerning her grades. She is now in grade 11 and it is harder. She is comparing herself to her twin sister who his graduating this year. Do you notice that your child have certain time of the year that they get worse? --------------------------------- Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Search.
