Thought of the Week

  • "Having OCD is like being allergic to life - every waking moment is spent in a state of mental hyper-sensitivity.”

Why am I returning to this blog after so long?

During this next year, this blog will "document" Devin's OCD, and the improvements she makes. In no way is this blog meant to make anyone feel sorry for our trials. We know that trials are merely blessings in wolves' clothing. Because any improvements will be minor and subtle as the days go by, I want to write it all down so that I can look back and see how far Devin has come. If you are a first-time reader, I suggest you begin by reading this post. It will give you some background and show you a starting point. Comments are welcome, but please be kind. This is not an easy illness to deal with. We're all just doing the best we can.

Worse, Then Better?

It almost seems like it's gotten worse since Devin first started taking her meds 8 days ago.  Just little things, like having to adjust the waistband for 2 full minutes.  In the past, she has exchanged one compulsion for another, but it really isn't seeming like anything is going away.

Wednesday, Devin's teacher called me to tell me that she had peed her pants.  I've tried to explain to Devin that people notice when she smells like pee, but she's convinced no one notices.  I've had to threaten her with homeschool if she doesn't start using the bathroom at school.
