Diagnosis: OCD and Anxiety

One day I may hold my dependent again.  Until then I work to help D overcome OCD and anxiety. 

OCD

My dependent is being evaluated for obsessive compulsive disorder.  Too close to home right now.  Our lives have been disrupted since Christmas vacation. The case is extreme and crosses over other issues. 

More later.

When it comes to anxiety I always tend to the Lord GOD to help calm me down. I do the same thing for mini me. Mini me had "bad luck" tonight and was hysterical. R found my one decade rosary and asked, "Do you believe? Do you still believe?"  Mini me answered, "yes, I still believe."  However mini me didn't recognize the decade rosary. 

We prayed our top 3 prayers; Glory Be, Hail Mary, and Our Father. We said each prayer, in the order stated, twice.  Then I started reading from her bible the story of creation.  We read Genesis 1-5. Mini me is now completely calm. 

Still, a professional will visit mini me at the institution. Mini me has emotional and nervous disorder. This holiday was crazy. Mini me went OCD! Hand washing, refusing to touch things, fear of germs. Why? No flu shot. Why no flu shot? Refusal to get in any vehicle! 


Dear GOD. I'm sorry. I take full responsibility. Help us.
