  1. Thanks lostintime. No problem if I can help in anyway I will. By Sharing my story and give advice to others. Because I've been there with my daughter. I just wanted to let people on here know that there is hope. And help out there. And you can get better as my daughter is living proof. My daughter has a brilliant therapist. ?
  2. Hi suthey my daughter has suffered with ocd for 2 years. I don't understand why she can't get help on the NHS. My daughter has been under Camhs for 3 years. And is still having cbt which is going great all her rituals has stopped. Germs doesn't bother her anymore. She's getting back to her normal self which I never thought possible. As ocd just changes your whole life it's an awful thing to go through. She still gets the thoughts but with having therapy she has learned to ignore them. I would go to your doctors. You have to keep pushing. Good luck
  3. Hi guys not been on here for months. I thought I would give u all an update on my daughters progress. I'm not gonna lie since last September up to April it was hell on earth. Worst times of our lives. Was like a rollercoaster. I really thought she would of ended up in hospital. And we would of lost her. She's also not been to school since September. She was that bad with germs etc. So she has been homeschooled and that has helped her a lot. But I can say now she is going back in September just for the mornings. And gradually build up to full days. Her cbt therapy is going amazingly well for the last 4 months we have had no issues or meltdowns. All the rituals and handwashing has stopped. it doesn't bother her anymore. She's no longer in the bathroom for an hour. The only thing she still doesn't do is socialise with friends. She still has the thoughts but she has learned from having cbt therapy to just ignore them as there not real. She calls it the bully. She's undergoing assessments at the minute as they think she has autism. And also she's had two seizures in 7 months which the hospital thinks she may have epilepsy. But for now sges come along way. She's a very strong girl. Everyone that knows her have said how happy she looks and different. As before she was always sulking. I could never see a light at the end of the tunnel. But now I can. And I just want everyone that is struggling to know that you will get better. It will take a lot of time. You will have a lot of dark days. More than good.then eventually you will have all good days. But as a parent just be patient. Calm. Give them plenty of hugs. And don't reassure them as it makes it worse. Also don't get involved with the rituals. Good luck to everyone
  4. Hi wonderer. She's exactly the same. I will try what you said thanks ?
  5. Hi she sees a physcologist every week at camhs doing cbt therapy. She's been having reiki healing as well. Which makes her relaxed when she's really down. Ive been telling her think of ocd as a bully. And don't give in and don't do the rituals. I said even say it in your head I'm not doing this.she just has to learn as I keep telling her to just ignore the thoughts when they come. As there not real. And nothing bad will happen.We had a good chat about it lAstnight she wrote a lot of her thoughts down. I will try that vitamin for her thanks.
  6. Thanks is there anything that can help with this.?to get her through it like certain vitamins etc?
  7. Hi all last time I was on here all was good with my daughter. But since last Thursday she has gone down hill. Crying and really sad. Her thoughts keep coming. She's struggling to ignore them. But ive noticed its everytime she's near to her period she seems to get worse with her ocd. Crying for no reason feeling depressed. Thoughts coming all the time and doing rituals. I just want to know if it makes ocd worse?
  8. Hi snowbear I totally agree with what your saying. I only said the other day it may not work for everyone. But it's definitely made her calmer. And other things. And shes still getting cbt everyweek. And I know it's not going to cure her. In another few weeks she might end up down again. But so far things are good. We're just gonna take each day as it comes. She has also got a plan from her psychiatrist on what to do if she feels sad again. So she can just look at it. And do the things to help her. I know we have a long way to go yet. ?
  9. Hi mother of three. Try reiki healing I swear by it. It's doing my daughter the world of good. 2 weeks ago she was at her lowest. I would say a 0 out of 10. Today I would say a 10. She's not been to school since September. But now she's saying she's ready to go back. Also saying she has no worries anymore. She doesn't cover herself up anymore. Shes started talking more to people. All her rituaks have stopped. She's smiling and laughing all the time now as she wasn't before. Ive finally got my daughter back. It's like a miracle and it's all because of having reiki.my family and friends can't believe the change in her. I would highly suggest you try this for your daughter.
  10. Hi sorry mrs coco not been on for a long time. My daughters ocd got really bad lastweek it was since watching the manchester concert on t.v it brought things to the surface. It scared her . I really thought she would of ended up in hospital. Her anxiety levels went through the roof extremely high. To the point where her eyes was just blank. coukdnt have a conversation with her at all. She would just stare at the wall. She was acting really odd as if someone had took over her it just wasn't my daughter at all. she couldn't focus. Or concentrate. I was worried sick I ended up taking her the doctors on Friday but they couldn't do anything as she's under Camhs. On the Saturday I took her to emergency doctors as she was getting worse. As her intrusive thoughts were taking over her and the rituals. But the doctor wasn't concerned just said she was coming down with a virus. But I still wasn't reassured. It Didn't explain why she was so bad. So in the end my sister said that she would do reiki on her. So I took her on Saturday afternoon and she did reiki healing. Straight after it I could see an uplift in her mood.she smiled. And she actually hugged me for the first time in a year. It was unreal how this worked. The next day my daughter got up didn't spend as long in the bathroom as she usually does. We had lots of smiles. We took her to have reiki again. Saw more improvements straight away. I can't tell you the difference in her. She's like a new person all smiles and laughing. And it's all thanks to having reiki healing. I would recommend anyone having this done it's like a miracle. She has to get assessed also on Monday as my daughters care co ordinator thinks she may have autism x
  11. Hi zoo keeper just been reading your post my daughter is 13 and suffers severe ocd she's not been in school since September and not had a life cut off all her friends Barr one. She still goes to dancing that's about it. But at the moment I feel like it's gonna be like this forever. Because there's little improvement. But I got a phone call of my daughters care co ordinater today to say they want to assess her for autism. It feels like we're going round in a vicious circle it's not fair on her and us as parents. I'm at home with her everyday as she does homeschooling. So I can't go anywhere. So I'm stuck in the house. I would of thought by now she would of improved but where no where near.
  12. Hi mrs moo. My daughter has severe ocd. She had to get a referral from school and the doctor for camhs and we had no problem. But you do have to wait months for an appointment. so be prepared. It's a slow process. We have good and bad days. But lastweek my daughter got really bad to the point in which i really thought she would end up in hospital. I had no where to turn as her family therapist seemed to think it was normal. I got her checked out on Friday at the doctors they couldn't do anything as she's under camhs. I went to emergency docs sat as she went worse they checked her over i.e blood pressure, heart. Ears, throat. Just said she was starting with a virus but wasn't concerened. I wasn't convinced. So in the end my sister said she would do REIKI HEALING on her. It would help. GUESS WHAT!!! It really did. She hugged me for the first time in a year. I got smiles aswell. She tidied and sorted all her clothes out in her room which she never really does. We went to a trampoline place and she usually covers herself up. This time she didn't she wore a crop top. I was so so amazed by this transformation.its like all her fears had gone. On the Sunday I took her to get reiki again. Could see improvement again. Her mood was lifted. Her face looked more with it. She was smiling. Monday morning we got up to take my son to school were always usually late as she's always in the bathroom for 45 mins doing rituals. She was. Only in there 15 mins. I was completely shocked. We got to school early which is the first time since September. She was all smiles. Was laughing. Was talking more. My daughter was coming back to me.she was a lot calmer. It's like a miracle. She is going to carry on with this as its worked for her. I would really advise you to try it for your daughter. ?
  13. Hi Yeh.three towers there called there involved with camhs. Camhs has to make a referral to them. And with permission from school also.and letters from your doctor and clinical psychologist aswell. It's really good as she did struggle in school with finding work hard to do. She has made good progress from them. Thing is my daughter struggles to open up anyway she blocks everything away. But I agree as I mentioned to them before about having different therapists and they said that's what happens unfortunately.
  14. Ive no faith in them wotsoever but I have no other option than to keep going there as I can't afford private. She's being homeschooled and has a tutor twice a week which means I can't do or go anywhere I have to stay in. I feel like a prisoner in my home. Thing is she started therapy just after xmas .had 3 months of it with a trainee physcologist once a week, which did work for my daughter. The intrusive thoughts seemed to go and rituals. But in March the therapist left as she had finished her placement. So then we was back to square one waiting for another therapist which we had to wait another 3 months as to which my daughter symptoms came back worse than ever. We have only had 3 weeks of therapy with the new one. They are an absolute joke
