Severe ocd
My child suffers from severe ocd and is too scared to go to therapy (erp). She has become so depressed and it has taken away everything she enjoys.

Re: Severe ocd
Hi @Dahlia100
I’m sorry to hear your daughter is struggling, if she won’t take medication and/or therapy, there is not much you can do but love her and keep her safe. Her telling you she cannot see the difference, sounds like OCD talking so she must be struggling right now, so unfair!
I understand your frustration and despair, we too have had to ride out similar circumstances with our daughter before.
when the OCD is in charge, it is almost impossible to reason - not many people understand unless they experience it.
I’m not sure if we have done anything different to see some improvement, or if it’s simply the ebb and flow nature of OCD.
You have done well to get your daughter through school and to where she is, hopefully she has learnt from that to get through this too.
be kind to yourself, you matter too. X
