Guest guest Posted September 4, 2008 Report Share Posted September 4, 2008 I am new to the group. We have been dealing with my daughter's OCD for a couple of years, she is 10. I originally denied the situation until she began the hand washing and of compulsive behaviors (constant thoughts about puberty and sex). I took her to the pediatrician...who really did not help but I did get a referral. I was not real keen on the idea of medication I just felt there has to be another way to deal with this. I thought medication would be a last resort for us. Last night my little girl cried for two hours saying she hated herself, feels worthless and wished she was never born. To me those are serious statements and are a red flag for depression. She just seems so sad and it breaks my heart to see her this way. I am considering medication now. I just want her to live as normal life as possible and if she is miserable I just don't think the outlook is good. I am in northwestern Montana and our child psychology resources are limited. I am just looking for some support. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
