Guest guest Posted November 2, 2009 Report Share Posted November 2, 2009 Matt will get on a treadmill a few times a week. Also, we bundle up and go out with the dog. One of those big exercise balls or a medicine ball (can find these things cheap at Marshall's, ect) make for some fun. We found a game called cosmic catch at the toy store. It's kind of a nerf ball that talks and tells you who to throw the ball to (you wear colored bands on your hands) and it's fun. I know it's not easy, but even if you can 3-4days a week in, it'll be of some benefit. Bonnie > > > > No subject really! Wanted to emphasize how being physically active can relieve some of the mental anxiety that our kids go through. My son's OCD has not gone away but it has gotten better partly due to the fact that if he keeps busy he tends to forget what he was obsessing about. However, like I said it's only temporary.For ex: he plays hockey now and sleeps better, doesn't think about anything else so that's a positive but we still deal with it just on a day to day basis which is what I think is all we can do sometimes. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
