Guest guest Posted February 12, 2009 Report Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hi I would like to introduce myself. My name is stephanie and i have two children a daughter emily who is 15 and a son jacob who is 13. My son is currently going to a counsler for the past month and has been dx OCD. Over the years he has had little quirks as we call it but i guess over time its just become second nature to answer him before he even asks the question. Like when we leave the house he will ask did you lock the door, I automatically now without thinking will say I locked the door. He has a nut allergy so whenever he eats he will say does this have nuts in it. even if its a bowl of friut. However in Dec. he came to me and said he was hearing a voice in his head that was bothering him. He was worried that something bad was gonna happen and he would turn into the tree man like we saw on tv or a mold would go in him and would eat his face off like we had seen on tv about a man who had that happen. because whenever he did something or didnt do something the voice would tell him something bad will happen. and he has developed a tick with his eyes that he squints his eyes open and shut. he looks like he is pain but he doesnt even realize he is doing it. this tick started back in dec. when he started having these thoughts. I took him to a counsler to see what was going on and they have dx him OCD. he is working on ignoring it or he will come to me and ask me if something bad will happen we will work out what he thinks bad will happen and the likelhood of it happening. He meets with a physichiastrist on the 19th and he will more then likely go on meds. I am worried about starting him on anti depressants b/c i dont want him to walk around like a zombie, i want him to be the same ole jacob just not being bothered with his thoughts and worries. What type of meds do your all kids take and how do they affect them? and any suggestions you all have that will help me, help him? thanks for reading this very long post and thank for any and all suggestions! steph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
