Avatar f tn Hi everybody, My son went to the child mental health centre for the first time today, we have to go three more times before getting a definate diagnosis of o c d but the doc seemed to think this is what my son is suffering, every week he seems to get worse with more rituals added. The doc said I have a meeting on my own then my son on his own then both together before he will say is this normal procedure for diagnosis?
Avatar f tn for the baby and how much will effect him. I usually a very emotional person when dealing with death and I feel like a horrible person for not allowing myself to feel bad. What do I do???
Avatar f tn When I was young, I had a dream that I was being buried and that triggered my fears of death. I dont know if it was hypochondria, but I remember I did rituals and prayed a lot to make sure nothing happend to me. If I had a pain in my chest I would assume it was heart disease or if I had a pain in my legs or arms I would assume it was cancer. I avoided reading cancer stories, obituaries, and cemeteries would remind me I would die soon.
6698677 tn?1388419893 Hi Quiet, congrats on your clean time, and for making it through work. I agree with Rosy, change the 4pm routine. Have a snack, a piece of chocolate (dark chocolate really helped me fight cravings), just do something to take your mind in a different direction. Keep fighting every day! One foot in front of the other. Keep posting. Best wishes!
Avatar f tn Just like falling in love takes time so does dealing with a passing of a loved one.Just opposite ways of feeling.Love and loss,two parts of life that both hurt.For loving anyone or anything,such as a pet can lead to pain.All feelings lead to pain and despair,eventually.So do we stop feeling,stop loving,stop caring,no we just learn to adjust to our new lives without that loved one that pet,that friend.whom ever.Death ends a life,not a relationship.

Avatar n tn First it was death, well, maybe its always been about death, I ritualised constantly all my life to stop my parents from dying, I KNEW I was the only person that could achieve this.

Avatar n tn My daughter started her OCD with stress from her school study, then she began with washing rituals, strict checking, and gradually turned into saying and repeating same kind of conversation, words everytime she wish to release her stress and anxiety. Whenever she needed to do anything (like changing clothes, brushing her teeth, putting her shoes), she needed to force herself to keep on coughing for at least half an hour (not due to sickness) before she can starts.

4928337 tn?1362751166 t act on rituals. Sometimes rituals are thought rituals, like silently repeating prayers or numbers or phrases to ease a frightening thought. Sometimes ocd manifests as repetitive intrusive thoughts. I don't know for sure if you have ocd, but what you describe is definitely in the same vein. What you absolutely must do is confront the thoughts. Allow the thoughts to be there, sit with them, and let them coexist with you.
1356959 tn?1488975948 Shut off our phones and mourned our babies death. We went to this nice winery with a beautiful river that ran by it and at sunset picked a flower for every week of our babies life with us in my belly and sent them down the river with thoughts and prayers of that journey. I don't know if it will help you but it at least gave me some closure. It's such a hard thing to go threw. I understand.
Avatar f tn I had my first son, Jeremiah, 3years ago. My husband and I really wanted a girl, but when we found out it was a boy, I actually found myself to be UPSET. For a while after I found out, I walked around wishing I wasn't pregnant with him. Of course I love my son to death, and can't imagine life without him. Now that I'm pregnant again, I'm having this mothers instinct that its a girl. But I don't want to go through the disappointment again.
Avatar f tn m the only person with a spouse with addiction issues but the deep down thoughts.. Like is it me? Is it something I did? Or why does he lie to me? Like its always my fault.. I have lost sight of myself & my needs due to his addiction.. Like I had said my life is a roller coaster and some days are great some days are bad. It just depends on if he is using or not? When they are good I feel like we just sweep the problem under the rug & if I bring anything up its a fight.
