Guest guest Posted March 2, 2004 Report Share Posted March 2, 2004 I noticed something last night with my son and it had me confused a little bit. We had a BBQ last night and whenever we do that we always get out the marshmellows and roast them for desert. My son had his long handled stick and I noticed him turning it around to stick the wooden handle into the coals. I shook my head No and he stopped. It really wasn't that huge of a deal and all I did was shake my head I never said a word to scold him. He then told me " I think my OCD told me to do that. " It got me thinking because I am used to his OCD telling him things like he doesn't love us or he is going to hurt us but that he knows he'd never actually do anthing to us. His Dr. also told us that there has never been any documented cases of someone actually acting out their morbid thought. So is this 2 different types of thoughts he is having since he actually started to act this one out? It's all so confusing and complex sometimes. I also wonder if he sometimes uses his OCD as an excuse if he misbehaves. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks, Lori H. in WA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
