OCD

OCD is rearing it's ugly head again.  I hate it.  I hate what it does to my daughter.  Around this time of year, every year she begins to have problems.  This year we have a move to add to the equation which I know is adding to her stress.

I began seeing signs a week ago and didn't want to believe it was happening, again.  Tonight she had a very minor episode that I was quickly able to help her through.  Now I'm waiting for the big one.  The one that keeps us second guessing ourselves and everything we've ever done.  The one that will take days, maybe weeks or even months to get over.  We had gone so long with nothing and then, wham!  It hits you up the side of the head again.

So much anxiety for such a young person.  It makes me so sad to watch her struggle.  Her own mind working against her.

I love my sweet daughter and I pray that she will be healed very soon.

It is so hard to see your child suffer. (((Linda))) Wish I could say or do something that would take it away. Know that I will pray. I think you are an awesome mama!

Praying for your daughter today, Linda. Something about the changing seasons isn't it? I know OCD and Tourette's are closely linked. Kyle has exhibited tics again lately and I know it is this time of year.


Hugs to you, friend~
