Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Oh, , that is so awesome! I guess with the statistics of 1 in 100, we are bound to find others here and there. But, it's one of those things that can be pretty easy to hide, at times. I'm glad they shared with each other and can be support for each other. BJ > > Hello Everyone, > > I can't contain my happiness and joy! I just have to share it with all of you because I know all of you understand that the little breakthrough moments with OCD are huge! > My 10 yr old daughter came home from school 2 days ago so happy. She told me that her friend had to go to the doctor in the middle of the school day. My daughter asked her friend why she had to go and her friend told her she would tell her at recess. This friend, who is such a sweet girl- the kind of friend all moms dream of their daughter having shared with my daughter that she had OCD. My daughter was shocked! She had absolutely no idea. She couldn't believe that one of her girlfriends that seemed so normal had OCD. They've known each other for over 3 years. My daughter told her friend that she struggled with OCD as well. Her friend was shocked too, and had no idea. They talked about what their OCD issues were and how they both needed to take medication and go to counseling. > I can't tell you what this has done for my daughter. She has always felt so weird and crazy. She has felt like she is the only one with this problem. We didn't know of anyone else around our small town who struggled with it, and it ends up that this friend who is in her class at school and her dance class deals with OCD. I am so thankful that her friend felt she could share her struggles with my daughter. Everyone around here is so secretive about their problems. I wish people would share more and not try to be " Patty Perfect " . We all hate " Patty Perfect " any way. I use to hold on to the " Patty Perfect " facade, but my daughter's OCD has helped me get over myself! We all need eachother so badly. Our kids need each other too. > My daughter's self esteem has shot through the roof knowing there is someone else she respects and loves who has " issues " too. I am also happy for me because know I know a mom close by who is going through similar issues with her daughter. We are planning on going to lunch next Friday to talk all about it. I just want to shout " Hooray " ! I have even noticed a decrease in my daughter's OCD rituals the past couple of days. This news has helped her to feel less anxious. Right now, she is with her friend at " Family Reading Night " up at the elementary school. I am so happy she has found a " kindred spirit " . Thanks for sharing in my joy! > > All the Best, > > > > ________________________________________________________________________________\ ____ > Be a better friend, newshound, and > know-it-all with Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Hey, it'll be great for all of you, all having support!! And for some reason, maybe they'll both get through all the therapy/OCD faster, at least more progress. Do a happy dance, LOL! > > Hello Everyone, > > I can't contain my happiness and joy!

Guest guest Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 ******************** This news has helped her to feel less anxious. ************** It really is amazing how much it helps to have a friend to share the load! Kate's biggest issue was with a particular boy at school. This child knew Kate was afraid of him and it was stressing both of them out. Kate's teacher told me a story last week. She said, " S. came up to me today and said, 'Kate has OCD and that makes her scared of me. It isn't ME at all! Now we're going to try to be friends.' and the two sat near eachother at story time. " Wow! It really is amazing how well Kate has done with the whole OCD thing -- like having a 'reason' to be feeling the way she does and then sharing that 'reason' has made all the difference in the world to her! Good for your daughter and for her friend for opening up the doors of communication! Beth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 , That is fabulous news! You, and your daughter couldn't be luckier! I'm sure this will help you both tremendously! Hugs Judy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
