Guest guest Posted November 25, 2011 Report Share Posted November 25, 2011 Hello all. I have a question, and I'm hoping someone in the group can answer. We are at a hotel/water park this weekend. At home my 10 year old daughter cannot sleep in her bed unless she's on top of a mountain of blankets & pillows. Yet here at the hotel (and when she is at a friend's house) she sleeps in the bed, under the covers, just fine. The therapist asked her this week why is she able to sleep at a friends house in the bed. She answered that it was because she knows it's only for one night, not for every night for the rest of her life, so it's OK. After my daughter left the room, the therapist said she thinks my daughter is just trying to control me, because OCD can't just come & go. (Yeah, I'm the problem). She further thinks it's a control issue because she is a model student at school - " no one can keep up this facade day after day " . I'm really ticked off right now. I handed the therapist a five page diary of issues we've had in ONE WEEK, yet I'm the problem? So (deep breath) because I don't now much at all about OCD, what do you all think? Has anyone had experience where their child can control OCD in situations such as all day at school or while on vacation? Or is this actually not OCD? I'm lost. Thanks.
