Guest guest Posted September 20, 2011 Report Share Posted September 20, 2011 Hello everyone, I have a 16 year old daughter who is currently undergoing the work-up for OCD. I have noticed the social isolation for the past 4 years but thought it was simply part of 'growing up.' It has become such as issue now and when she is approached, she becomes quite angry. She is up late at night and it is a constant battle in the mornings. When I finally got her to talk, she told me counts things and have a hard time sleeping because she cannot turn her mind off. We met with a therapist last week and she wants us to meet with the psychiatrist since she thinks it is OCD. My daughter's behavior is quite disruptive for the family when she actually ventures out of her room. I am wits end trying to reason with her and not get into a verbal battle or a crying meltdown. I came to understand she also attempted to cut her wrist when I threatened to remove her room door in an effort to get her out of her room. Does anyone have suggestions?
