Guest guest Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 It's very difficult to divulge this incident that happened with my DD. I never thought that something like this could or would happen. As you know my DD's OCD manifests itself in obsessive/morbid thoughts. She is currently on 100mg of Luvox at the moment. Her thoughts vacillate from images or thoughts about hurting herself and most recently this changed to hurting us, her parents. They have switched back and forth and she has thankfully handled them. I can't imagine how hard it is for her to do this. It must be a living hell. She maintains that she doesn't want to do any of this and that she loves life and if happy which we know. This latest incident, however, makes me queasy and sick just typing it. I am holding back my tears since. OCD has now given her thoughts of hurting our cats. DD admitted to me two days ago that she put her fingers over one of our cat's noses to see what it would be like. Thankfully the cat was okay. DD felt very sad over this and that's when she confided in me. This was her first " urge " to do what OCD had told her. I have gone through shock, anger, sadness, scared, devestation and the grief over DD's future. I pray that she NEVER EVER goes along with this new OCD thing. My worst fear is of her hurting something or someone weaker than her. God it's like I don't even know her. Of course we flew to the therapist's office. We discussed the possibility of DD having depression as well as some bi-polar. She mentioned the use of Abilify as well as continuing the CBT. Her therapist feels confident that we can manage this. In the meantime, I'm just at a loss and freaking out! Anyone else ever been through something like this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
