yahoo group for our college kids?

April 21, 2009

I was wondering if anyone was interested in starting a group like this one for

college kids. I know that Chris' son will be going off to college next year and

my daughter is returning after a leave. I know from last year, that it can be

very isolating, handling and hiding the ocd at times, and it may help if they

had a group where they could escape-- to vent or listen--where others

understand.

I like the idea of setting this up with " our " kids--people we kinda of " know " .

And most of you are very ocd knowledgeable. No pressure of course, whoever

thought they might be interested. Maybe one of the more tech savvy members could

get it started.

Thanks!

I think this is a great idea. My son stayed home and went to a local

college his first two years. Last September he went away to college. He had

his

own apartment across from the college. With his OCD, he could never live

with anyone and living in a dorm would have been a nightmare. We really

thought it would be better for him to be able to deal with his OCD in private

rather than be ridiculed. In short, he was so extremely lonely, isolated,

exhausted from his OCD rituals and was " stuck " in his apartment, He was so

unhappy and his ocd was becoming severe. Nothing was worth having the OCD rear

its ugly head. He drop out and he feels like a failure. I think he would

really appreciate being a part of a college support group online.

Thank you !!

Keep in touch,

Dana
