Are My Daughters Disrespectful Comments Related to OCD?

[Guest guest]

My daughter was diagnosed about five months ago with OCD (after a few years of

struggling without a diagnosis). She did really well with treatment for the

first few months but has seemed to regress over the past three weeks. Since she

has regressed she has become easily irritated, frustrated, and outright

disrespectful to me (not really to my husband). I'm guessing this is because

she is struggling and I am an easy target for her to unleash her frustration.

She is almost 11, maybe it is related to the age but it does seem to coincide

with her OCD.

Does anyone else have similar struggles with their children? Just a month ago

she was so happy, easy going and fun. I'm scared we are going back down the

path of being in a constant angry state with one another. I'm not quite sure

how to react to her when she is in a mood, when I'm understanding and try to

talk it out with her or give her some space she does it more. When I become

upset or distant she cries and feels horrible about it but continues to do it a

few hours later. It is almost as if I can see that she doesn't want to do it but

can't help it, it takes over her.

I don't know anyone else who has struggled with this before, this is all new to

me and I'm frustrated. Any insight would be appreciated!
