- Re: is this ocd?

[Guest guest]

Thanks - I appreciate knowing how it went with your daughter - how she made

that decision one day and that was it. I don't really understand it, do you? I

would love to hear how it's going with her now. Did you ever identify what

triggered it again? Amazing that she was off all meds as well.

Re: is this ocd?

Hi Rhonda,

From my experience, I would trust him and let him feel that you are

confident in his new-found well-being.

My daughter was home from school for half a year. She was on medication and

had tried ERP without success (she didn't get on with the therapist, and I

don't think she liked the insistent, slo-mo badgering of ERP). Then one day

she decided that she wasn't going to let OCD ruin her summer and snapped out

of it.

For a year, she was fine, off medication and with just some minor residual

issues.

But then something re-triggered the OCD and we were back almost to square

one.

If you are lucky, you might be out of it, however, during the OCD-free year,

we were aware that sooner or later she would have to confront her issues and

learn to work with them.

Good luck,
