Guest guest Posted January 27, 2011 Report Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hello everyone. I am new to this forum so I am just starting to find my way around. I do have lots of questions that I know are probably somewhere in the archives. I have a 14 year old daughter who I think has ocd. Some of the things she does : razors have to be turned a certain way, silverware in the sink needs to be pointing down, scissors have to be put away facing to the right, takes steps backwards while walking, this is random, doesn't seem to be a pattern to this, touches things twice. We have talked about this alot. She says she doesn't feel like something bad will happen if she doesn't do these things but she needs to do them or she feels weird, can't really explain how she feels. I have read alot on the internet about ocd, I'm pretty sure this is what we are dealing with. Can they stop this on their own? Will it get worse? Her compulsions change every few months. Used to be closing the closet a certain amount of times, shower curtain had to be opened to the left, not right, is this normal for them to change what they do? This scares me, she just keeps adding more and more things that she feels like she needs to do. Can someone please answer some of these questions?
