Guest guest Posted October 22, 2011 Report Share Posted October 22, 2011 Judy, I have a 16 year old who was diagnosed with OCD last month and started on sertraline. She is up and down with the meds and it got worse close to her period. I saw our pediatrician and we got a script for birth control pills to help with the regulation of her period and hormones. I am not sure if it is the sertraline that is making her do reckless things or the hormones or the OCD itself. She lied to us about going to the movies on Saturday. 2 hours later we got a call from the cops of her being in a park with a guy having sex(her first time) and more so when she got home she told us she smoked a joint (her first time). You can imagine our shock of learning all of this. She did not cry, showed no remorse, nor offered any apologies. When I went to say goodnight to her later on Saturday, I found her in her closet cutting her wrist...she said she was upset with herself because she could not feel anything despite knowing what she did was wrong. How do one deal with this? I have a 13 year old son and a 15 year old daughter who is witnessing all of this and trying to figure out what is wrong with their sissy!!!
