Guest guest Posted July 28, 2007 Report Share Posted July 28, 2007 Hi everyone! I just joined the group. My 7-year-old son has OCD and anxiety issues. He is currently on medication for possible Bi-polar disorder (Abilify) and it has helped some with the OCD symptoms. His biggest issues are with his clothing, re-tying shoes, finding correct fitting socks, sometimes pulling his laces so tightly that his feet get sores and bleed. When he was three and four years old he would say that he felt " crooked " in clothing. What I find so funny is that it's like a love/hate relationship with his clothing. He loves clothes but changes outfits at least three times a day because he doesn't " feel right " in them. He also goes in and out with having germ issues. Is this normal to have a cycle of behaviors or symptoms that seem to wax and wane? We just recently started him on Zoloft in addition to the Abilify but we've noticed his behavior worsen as of late. He is very defiant and his behavior is absolutely awful. We have a meeting with the psychiatrist soon and really aren't sure what to do or where to turn next. Well I am anxious to meet and share experiences with everyone! Donna " Even the smallest person can change the course of the future.
