Guest guest Posted May 20, 2012 Report Share Posted May 20, 2012 My son who was recently diagnosed with OCD expressed feelings of wanting to be destructive and hurt someone or something. He seemed angry and then began to throw his pillow down on his bed repeatedly. What he was verbalizing and how he was acting scared me, as this not my child. When I asked if something was making him angry inside, he said no and that he just wanted to hurt someone, etc. He did say two times during this 20 minute " episode " : " Help me! " I almost took him to the E.R. but he calmed down and was able to fall asleep (it was bedtime). I am wondering if the S.S.R.I. that he was put on a few weeks ago is causing this behavior or if it's the OCD taking on a new twist involving violent thoughts? He's being evaluated tomorrow but if anyone has any insight as to what is going on, I'd appreciate the feedback. Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
