Guest guest Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Good Morning, My son, he is 11, was diagnosed in april with ocd and anxiety. He is convinced that everything he does is because he wants to commit suicide, from getting a drink to playing with his cousin. He initially started out with thoughts about loved ones getting hurt or killed and assumed he was a bad person and wanted it to happen because he was thinking it. Those have diminished some but now he is consumed with suicide. He also has a peanut allergy and now is convinced their are peanut germs everywhere and has started washing his hands. He has lost 12 pounds since April and has a difficult time eating because of the fear of peanut germs and afraid he is wanting to choke on his food, which leads to thinking he will commit suicide. We have been on prozac and just recently switched to Luvox. The therapist he has been seeing wants to do testing to rule out bipolar. His psychiatrist doesn't think that is an issue. We are starting with another therapist next week. It is heartbreaking to watch his decline. I am willing to take him anywhere to get help. Does anyone has suggestions?I have read many books and looked at many websites and they are starting to run together. We live in Kentucky and are willing to travel anywhere.
