Guest guest Posted June 4, 2006 Report Share Posted June 4, 2006 , Your Ben and my sound similar in personality; then again, I think many kids I've read about here seem to have such sensitivity to others, kind-hearted and in general just " feel " for others more than the average kid. would wish for something like that from Santa as well (and she is just starting to question the Santa concept, she's almost 9). And she used to tell everyone and anyone that she had OCD, although I haven't noticed that as much lately. Most people just nodded politely at her, you could tell they had no clue what she was talking about! And you sound a lot like me; I try so hard to control my crying when we are embroiled in an OCD episode, but I just can't do it, especially after several days with little sleep. has seen me cry more times than I care to admit to. She always tries to comfort me, and we wind up hugging and reassuring each other that we will NOT let OCD win. It can be so hard to believe that at times. And it is excruciating to watch someone so little deal with all this stuff - you just want them to have the happy, carefree childhood that they're supposed to have. ( was 7 when she was officially diagnosed, although we saw signs from 4yrs old.)
