Guest guest Posted February 5, 2008 Report Share Posted February 5, 2008 Hi everyone, I have a son who is eleven and was diagnosed with ocd last sept. My father has it and I have it. I keep mine in check most of the time. I don't remember being as bad as my son. He washes all the time. Uses the bathroom up to ten times a hour. He tantrums when I don't answer his questions or when I don't do something he asks. He is always asking questions for reassurance. He has always done it but it seemed to blow up this year when he started 5th grade. The teachers are complaining that he has a disipline problem. We took him in oct. and he was offically diagnosed. We told him what was wrong with him. He seemed relieved and wanted to get better. He had thought he was crazy. He seemed better for awhile but the last two weeks have been rotten. He is tantruming all the time. I feel very alone as a parent. It is like he saves it up for me until he gets home from school and lets it all out. It takes him hours to do homework. He gets straight " A " s but if he cannot get a good grade he will not do the assignment. We told the teachers about his diagnoses and they were all very relieved and said they see it. He starts Out patient ERP treatment tomorrow with a new doctor. I am sorry for the long complaints. I just don't know how to handle this anymore. I don't know how to disipline. Nothing works. He treats his whole family very meanly. Is this normal OCD behavior? What do you guys do for disipline. How do I know what is normal 11yr old behavior and OCD behavior. Any tips. I am just so fustrated and sad for him. I love him so much but he is so hard to be with. Thank you for letting me vent. Any advice?
