Guest guest Posted June 21, 2002 Report Share Posted June 21, 2002 No, I haven't heard of this person and now I'm interested (see what you did?)...and thank you for mentioning her. :-) Laurie O. -- Re: new to the group Has any one in the group heard of Bays. There is an upcoming seminar this weekend in Sanfrancisco. She has published a book called the Journey. This is about her recovery from a football size tumor within 6 weeks after she had an insight into a process she discovered. I have'nt read the book, only the reviews. Apparently she was associated with Tony Robbins. Please let me know if any one has any inputs. Thanks. Suren Perfect Came across this the other day (i've forgotten where): Nobody is perfect.

Are there any parents in this group with children diagnosed with OCD as young as my son? If so, are you receiving therapy? ********** Welcome, Carolina. Glad you found us. Our son showed signs of OCD when he was really young. I just didn't know what I was seeing. I wish I had, and he had been able to get the help he needed then. Since he started CBT/ERP (cognitive behavioral therapy / exposure and response prevention), he has been able to get a lot of his OCD rituals under control. The ones he did that needed to feel " just right " were the easiest for him to overcome. From what I've read, doing therapy when they are young is ideal, because as they continue to struggle with them, the rituals can become more ingrained. I also have a nephew with OCD. When he was young, he also had an issue with his hands feeling sticky and wanting to wash them all the time. I had forgotten about that, until I read your post. I'm glad you are here. ) BJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 20, 2009 Report Share Posted July 20, 2009 Hello All, My 5yr old daughter was recently diagnosed with OCD. We always noticed some quirky behaviors of hers since she was little and they would subside here and there. This past May, my husband and I were getting ready to put our home on the market and also start our girl in summer camp. All these changes at once caused a sudden checking and rechecking behavior that was nonstop. Things have slowed a little bit in this area but she still is dealing with a lot. We've moved through the basic ritual of hers which was hand washing. This was easier than what the future ones will entail. She apologizes all the time, for everything. She doesn't want to do something wrong and it actually will prevent her from participating in games and fun activities with her group at camp. Things need to done right and if she's not sure she can do them right the first time then she may opt out of trying them at all. This is heartbreaking for a parent to see as I'm sure everyone on this site already knows. But this is new for her daddy and I (and her 2yr old brother). It's hard to watch her miss out on something because of these thoughts. It's also tough to try to get through one her episodes without taking time from her brother. She's a bright, beautiful, sweet and loving little girl. I wish I could fix this for her but realize I can't. I can only help her try to come to the decision herself that she wants to control the ocd and not let it control her. For a 5 year old, that is a tough thing to do. I'm happy that I've found this site. Our therapist and Dr Wagner's book encouraged us to look for support here. Any feedback or advice you can give us (knowing what it was like to first start dealing with this illness yourselves) is greatly appreciated. Thank you.
