QUESTION ABOUT DEPRESSION??

[Guest guest]

I know I have been asking so many questions, but this is all so new

to me. I wonder if I don't suffer from some OCD as well because

there are certain times I can't get something out of my mind and

this has been the worst.

My question to all the mom's out there...were any of you diagnosed

with depression before your child was OCD? I have suffered on and

off bouts of depression since 1991. Right now, I am worried that I

am going to worry myself into another episode of depression.

How do you handle the tremendous worry and sense of overwhelming

sadness watching your child recover from OCD. I find myself just

feeling SO SO SO sorry for him and just want to make it all better

and I can't. When he hurts, I hurt, as I'm sure most other mom's

feel. I just wish I could comfort him from the worries about

getting sick with the stomach flu.

Did you mom's all cry and fret and feel anxious alot when you found

out about the OCD?? Did you find it hard to think about anything

else or to get your mind on anything else?? That's where I am right

now. Thanks.
