audio devices

[Guest guest]

Speaking of kindles and ipods, therapist would like my son to have a mobile

device he can carry around so that his " talk-back-to-OCD " scripts are at his

fingertips. It has to be able to take a recording and play it back, and be

" cool " to own (not one of those mini-tape recorders). I've been stumped, being

slow on learning about all these devices. Any advice appreciated!

What to write to my son?

I plan to write my son as often as I can, but I'm in a quandary over what to

ay to him right now. Normally, I'd say things like I miss you, can't wait to

ee you, etc., but I think that would only make it worse for him right now. So

any words (positive or negative) cause him stress so I can't figure out what

to

ay without stressing him out.

Before I left, I picked up a postcard with a beautiful picture of a sunset

ver a lake in Wisconsin. I wrote a note on the back telling him that there's a

ake just like the one on the postcard right next to 's and how water is a

alming and peaceful force and he can think of the lake whenever he is feeling

nxious. When I talked to him on the phone he was disappointed because I didn't

rite a " normal " note.

I went and bought a drawing pad and colored pencils, some magazines, and a

ook I dropped off before I left as well, but nothing seems to bring him any

elief or solace right now.

Would love to hear any suggestions you all might have on what I could write to

im.

Thanks!
