I haven't posted on here for a long time as things seemed to be going well with my difficult child. Or so I thought. She's recently developed what I think may be Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD). She has obsessive thoughts that worry and scare her, and some are of a sexual nature. She feels that she has to tell me every thought that disturbs her, which I suppose is a good thing. Some of these thoughts she's acted on, even thought she knows they are wrong. She tells me that she can't stop thinking of them, and it will make her cry. I'm so afraid she's going to have a mental breakdown, it's making her so unhappy. She doesn't want me to tell her dad because she's embarrased, so I feel like I'm carrying her pain all by myself, and some days it wears me out emotionally. I'm making an appointment with the doctor tomorrow, but she doesn't want to tell him about her thoughts, and dosen't want me to tell hime either, so I'm not sure he'll be helpful. I really need some advice on how to help her and if there are any medications that will help her so she can have a " normal life" as she tells me.
