Guest guest Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Hi everyone. Heres a quick recap. My son is 11 he will be 12 in febuary. He was diagnosed with ocd almost 4 years ago.since then he was seeing a psychologist at the childrens center for ocd and anxiety.He has been seeing her for 3 years and his ocd got progressivly worse.His ocd changes like most others do.right now its world catastrophies.The mayan calender saying the world will end in 2012 an asteroid supposed to hit earth ect well try to shorten it up a bit,hes having problems with bullied so I put him in catholic school It was worse he said like 12 kids were picking on him.Now my sons a cute kid hes a little chubby so i dont get this bullying. I guess its because he cant relate with other kids because he is like a 50 year old in a 11 year old body,well he begged me to get him out of there and send him to the public school, he couldnt sleep,getting anxiety attacks about having to go that school.So I switched him to the public school where he said at least he has 3 freinds. well guess what? Hes getting bullied there had meltdowns, wouldnt go to school, now mind you this is a SMART kid that gets good grades so nlthing about the school work its the kids.So I put on medication prozac for about 2 weeks now.Had a meeting at the school,put in place a 504 plan... in the meantime tried to get him to go to school he then went to school and told social worker he wants to kill himself that if life is this hard its not worth it.She asked him how he would do it.He said shoot himself in the head.well at this point with the ocd fullforce not wanting to go to school because of bullies and now total meltdown I wa sat the end of my rope when I called the ocfoundation.They referred me to a partial outpatient facility at upmc in pittsburgh for ocd.has anyone heard of it?well we are going next thurs for 30 days. well I called his psychologist told her we were going there,instead of getting support sje was upet.she said well we dont refer there we refer to penn but penn doesnt take insurance and the cost is exorbitant.So I told her this is covered by insurance.she said oh ok.well she called me and asked me if we were definitly going and I said yes, so she said well Im not taking any new patients for a year? I said we arent new patients so basically she dumped us because we were going to pittsburgh Very upset about this! I knwo im ramnling I just have so many things on my mind with all this I guess I just want to know if anyone has experience with aprtial hospitalization or any info on the upmc in pittsburgh?And does anyone have kids that get bullied due to the ocd?thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
