show Obsessed

[Guest guest]

I've watched it a couple of times and felt some were done for

sensationalism. I so wish that wasn't the case as we really, desperately

need someone to get out there with the true day to day issues and hurdles

all of our children face, so that maybe they would find more acceptance of

their condition. Who knows maybe even more professionals might gain some

insight. I know many regular doctors think OCD is just a lot of hand

washing and checking. In one of the Obsessed episodes that I watched they

made the girl with the cleanliness issues (which many, many of our kids

have) take someone's urine and put it all over the new bed ensemble that she

had on her bed. Now, I do not suffer from OCD, but I thought that was the

most repulsive, dangerous, ridiculous, over the top thing I have seen, and

your could never, never get me to do that. That kind of ended their

creditability with me. I totally agree with ERP and the great help it does.

But I truthfully doubt many good therapists would do something like that.

Put your hands in garbage, yes. Roll in mud, yes. Go to the bathroom and

not wash your hands, well maybe, but not have to put someone's urine all

over your bed.
