Hi, @artscaping Chris! I do have a few thoughts/action plans on OCD that your grand daughter might find helpful. One that I found helpful was to write down the OCD thought over and over and over (a hundred times, even!), until it gets super boring. Somehow, it kind of then seems laughable and stupid. She can also repeat the ocd thought, over and over, into a tape recorder. When heard, the OCD thought often seems ridiculous and stupid. If she can, and this is not easy, RECOGNIZE the OCD thought, and just let it roll through the head. Do not focus. Get on with the next thing. Say, "OCD. NOT ME!!!!" Give no fuel to an OCD thought, as it is meaningless. It is just the frontal lobe, repeating things too much. Recognize what thoughts are not real, as best as she can. I recognize the themes of my OCD thoughts. Terrible, but they seem to revolve around the possibility of not caring for things I know I love the most. If I put credence into these thoughts, I would be miserable. Just let them go through the head and out again. They do go away. Give them no power. They are tricksters of worst fears for me. Not pleasant at all. But I just let them go, as a puff of smoke into the air. I have not suffered for years with this illness, but I do know it lurks in the shadows. I just know how to deal with it now. I was also on a fabulous, old time OCD medication for years. For the life of me, I cannot remember the name of it. If you want, I can call my pharmacy, and they probably have a record of it. It was a miracle drug for me, and was one of the earliest drugs made just for OCD. Let me know if you would like me to research this for you. Good luck with your grand daughter. It is a bear of an illness. Love to you, Lori
