Hi, welcome! Glad you have a local support group to go to, bet that helps your

daughter also, knowing she's not alone. I imagine you've tried this but was

wondering about the writing, if she carried a paper pad with her (apparently she

must carry something she's writing with)? Can she wash the windows? (know it

can be hard to get a teen to do chores) Or be limited to *a* window or other

place to write?

Yes, there have been lots of spitting posts here, hope someone can suggest some

tips that helped their child. Is that recent or has it been ongoing for a

while?

> Hi again, my post worked this time. I have a 14 year old daughter with OCD and

ADHD we have had real struggles this last school year and I am a little worried

about this year. We have tried several meds and they make her manic. She is in

with a CBT and several other doctors. I hear a lot of " this is a very complex

child " and we have tried to pin point what all is going on. She spits and I saw

a post on here about spitting, no one can really say why she does this. She

calls it " tagging " it is a complex touching game. She also does it when she is

" grossed out " . She also writes random words in and on any surface with any

thing. I wash my wnidows daily. She calls them her notes and jots them down in a

panic. She never refers back to them. She worries about loosing thoughts and

this is how she keeps track. Currently, she is on Abilify and things are much

better. (it is still summer schedule though) There is much more but right now I

would love to hear if anyone has had experience with these complusions?

My daughter started with a spitting symptom 2 years go, which I didn't know was

OCD. She would spit into her shirt whenever she saw something that made her

uncomfortable. This has grown to full blown essence contamination now.
