Hi, --

I just joined this board yesterday because my seven year old son's ocd

stuff is out of control and driving me crazy, but your post about his

rage hit home. My son threw a heavy hole puncher at my head in June and

I had to get three staples. If that wasn't enough, the next day he

refused to get on a plane for NY (we live in NC) and went into a rage.

In a way, all of that was good because it showed me he had to be

hospitalized for observation. He was diagnosed with a thought disorder

and put on Risperdal, which has been working well--no more rages.

However, this ocd stuff was not seen in the hospital--is has gotten much

worse in the past two weeks. He confesses every little thing he does to

us--every second and it's unbearable. He has been on Prozac 10mg for

three weeks now but I see no change. I saw post to you

about it maybe taking longer to kick in, so I'll try and be patient. It

is so frustrating--it seems like for every one step ahead, it's two

steps back. anyway, just wanted to tell you that I can totally relate.

Joei does this also during the day until she sees me! Lol Oh the joy! Haha

Right now her bestie is here and I can just see everything working up in

Joei. She gets very impulsive and you can see an energy build up in her. I

have tried to calm her down in the past, but it just doesn't work.

I explained to her that I noticed the symptoms become pretty bad after this

type of behavior and that I am going to tell her one time that she needs to

calm down a bit, after that it is up to her. I'm hoping that she will start

to get in tune with her body, mind and feelings and learn when she needs to

pull back a bit.

She hasn't listened tonite, so we will see how things go when her buddy

leaves. I guess she will have to learn by experience.

Holding back at school and elsewhere and then letting it " go " at

home, I know I asked more than once (his OCD began in 6th

grade) WHY can't he just " hold back " at home too!?! LOL! No answer

from him of course. However, even when people were at the house, he

could hold back around them (amazing!) and then when company left,

would seem to burst with all the OCD he held back.

I felt like barring visitors to the house at one time. But didn't.
