Re: 1st Try at Family therapy THANKS SO MUCH EVERYONE!

[Guest guest]

I can not thank all of you enough for all the words of encouragement

and advice. You made a bad day a lot more bearable.

My daughter came home from school early today as she is experiencing

the foggy head, extreme tiredness from her first weeks of celexa. We

had a good talk and she explained her feelings at therapy. She feels

everything is her fault and because we have put her on meds and

entered into therapy she feels that everyone is mad at her and trying

to change her because she is not a good kid.

I tried to explain to her that we are not trying to change her, we

just want to get her ocd under control so she can be happy again. I

think I will need to reassure her a lot during this treatment because

it seems no matter how many times you tell her, she needs to here it

again and again. We both had a good cry and a good hug. Today I am not

contaminated and can hug her again.

Thanks again everyone.

Awe, that is wonderful Kim! I think the neat thing that comes out of all

this is conversations like the one you just had. Its like through the

suffering and hardship you grow a closer bond and closeness to our kids and

family. What a reward to even get a hug on top of everything!
