Guest guest Posted December 21, 2004 Report Share Posted December 21, 2004 Hi. I'm new here and thought I'd toss a question out there to see if anyone has any advice. I have a 5-year-old daughter who has exhibited symptoms of OCD since 2 years of age. She goes periods where it seems better and times when it is very obviously interferring in her daily activities. It's very hard watching such a little girl struggle with such anxiety. My husband and I, to this point, are together on not medicating her. She's just too little and we feel the medications have too many risks. Anyway, one of her more recent issues has involved telling us that things have gotten in her mouth. Repeatedly, many times a day, she tells us " the pillow got in my mouth " , " the door knob got in my mouth " , " Kali (the dog) touched my mouth " and so on. We've been through periods like this before and they've always seemed to fade in intensity, but this time I'm worried. Seems that the we're really not making any headway and her father and I are trying to keep our patience while ensuring her that everything is ok. Thanks.
