Hello. Do you know anything about OCD?
I do! I believe my younger daughter suffers from OCD. She displayed a lot of traits as a child with repetitive behaviors.
Did she repeat activities like hand washng, counting of things, and checking to see if doors are locked?
She was more into insisting on certain foods and everything being done in a certain way.
Oh okay I see. Did this occur to such a degree that her daily life was negatively affected?
It had a slight impact but she was not severely affected. She drove me crazy however with her eating restrictions and her strict rules on how things MUST be done! lol
I can imagine that would drive you crazy! Did the behaviors seem to make sense to you and other adults or no?
NO! lol They were completely nonsensical but they calmed her anxiety and made her feel a sense of control I suppose. She is still slightly OCD and she is 23.
Oh thats ironic, I'm 23! Lol. But yeah OCD seems to be associated with anxiety disorder and tics
23 is a GREAT AGE! Enjoy it! Yes, OCD is directly tied to anxiety and she used her control techniques to empower her although I nearly lost my mind! lol
