Guest guest Posted May 17, 2002 Report Share Posted May 17, 2002 Hi!!! My name is Randi and I have an 11 year old son that has OCD and is currently taking 80mg of Prozac along with Risperdol and he is always saying he is sorry for everything even if he wasn't even involved in the situation he also cannot do any thing wrong with out confessing about it and then the half and hour of saying he is sorry really begins. So what I started doing was giving him a hug when he starts that and I just reassure him that I love him and it seems to work pretty good. But this sometimes isn't as easy as it seems we sat down one day and talked about it and put boundaries that if he feels he is going to do his OCD stuff he can ask me for a hug and if I see him doing it I ask him if I can have a hug that way we respect each others space. I am not by any means saying this is fool proof because it is not but it does help and it has brought me and Josh closer. Good Luck and Take Care, Randi --- john.jump@... wrote: > Phew! > > For a while there, I was starting to think that my > 14 > year old son did not fit the OCD diagnosis his > > therapists are assigning.
