new needing some support

[Guest guest]

hi what a breath of fresh air to read about other people going through exactly

what we are. my daughter who is twelve has been suffering for years but we

didn't know what was wrong. it is onlt now that things are so bad she cannot

function properly outside or inside the home that we and others have become

aware of how bad the problem is. she had a diognosis of ocd about three months

ago and is under the services of our local childrens mental health team. however

in those three months since diognosis she has only had two sessions with a

therapist! she is so totaly exasted and mentally drained from it all that the

sessions are not effective, not to mention the time lapse in between being a

joke. so far rhey have suggested breathing tecniques and diagrams. if i even

suggest doing these at home she goes into melt down saying she is a freak and

why can't she be normal etc. what can i do i have two younger boys who are going

through hell and my husband and i spend our life walking on egg shells, we are

at breaking point and when i have tried to ask for some more support i have

basicly been told to try going private! we can't afford that. i am so scared my

daughter will hurt herself or end up sectioned if we don't get to grips with

this soon. we love her so much and this is breaking our hearts, any support

greatfully received, x
