disciplining children with OCD

[Guest guest]

Hi I am not new to the group, but this is the first time I am writing with and

sharing with an issue. My daughter is 12 and has been diagnosed with OCD since

she was 7. She is currently on Zoloft 50 mgs and it is helping her with symptoms

such as repeating actions and verbal phrases over and over, asking us to say

specific things over and her getting upset if she is interrupted when talking or

any activity like combing her hair, writing et.

A big problem I have with her is disciplining her since we found it diffult to

do so because she has a type of OCD called scrupulosity and is very sensitive to

criticism. Ironically, this has caused her to disrepect her father and me a lot

sometimes. She especially treats me very rude, curses at me, throws my stuff and

refuses to listen to me. I have lost my temper with her and said mean things to

her in response and defense and feel terrible about it and I don't want to lash

out at her and be angry at her. I am trying relaxation and meditation tapes and

they help a bit but I am very upset over the situation.

Does anyone else have a similar problem?

Sorry for the long message, and thanks everyone in advance.

Does anyone else have this problem
