I do understand Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and you're right...nobody should judge it. Or anxiety, which I do have, and I can see how it makes people use drugs. I've thought of it,trust me, but I have always been too afraid to do drugs. Guess thats one place the anxiety was good!
Sounds like maybe you ruminate. I do too, although I am trying to stop.
Of course the hell you are going through with your son would make it hard for anyone not to ruminate!
I really hope your dear son can get help for his anxiety. It just is not fun. The only up side is that there IS good therapy there for it now and I hope he gets the best.
And I totally hope he can get better in every way. He is still young and people quit using every day.
Sincerely wishing you and your son can get some much needed peace very soon.
My oldest son had such bad Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) that he had to quit college. He couldnt concentrate because he kept counting all of his professor's words. He is better now...but he still ruminates very badly. It is not easy to just quit doing it. Or all three of us would.
Please take care.
