[QUOTE="BusynMember, post: 693766, member: 1550"] Ki How about YOU now? Do you seek out help for your Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)? My son had no control over his counting. None. He had to leave college and ended up on SSI for a while. He found a gifted PhD Psycologist. I think the man did cognitive behavioral therapy. He was eventually able to stop counting, quit medications and get a job...he is now doing very well at a job he's been at for at least ten years. Not all is 100%. Mental illness, anxiety types, run strong in our family. He still needs therapy for extreme stress and rumination. He doesnt get it so his coping tool box is low..But he functions now. He didn't at one time. He even had to live with his father. He hated it and SSI. But he was really sick, in ER all the time for suicidal ideation... Seriously, you seem like such a good person. Your health matters as much as your sons. I have an Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) diagnosis too, which is more about non stop ruminating but I've gotten much better. It isn't as bad as my son, but I get your urge to check and the icky panic feeling. I don't mean your son is not important. He is precious and very important. But so are you [/QUOTE]
