The best advice is to be prepared. Read all you can on it and know what you are dealing with then you are more prepared for the things that will happen.
I don't want to preach at you but have you read the website - www.ocdaction.org.uk
I hope things look up soon for u all

Hi Kate,
I am really sorry to hear what you and your family
are going through.
I know how it can effect each member of the family:(
All I can go off is my past.
When my daughter was diagnosed we all as a family went
to see a child psychologist, she spoke to us all as a family
and helped us all to understand and what we could do to
help her get through this.
Who ever you daughter is seeing maybe you could ask if you
can see them as a family.
There is help out there Kate but you have to go out and find it.
Maybe you could ask your GP if they could refair you to see
someone as a family.
I know how much you and your family are hurting and I wish
I could take your pain away, but I can't all I have are words,
I know you can't see it now but there is an end to all this it just
takes time.
Thinking of you
LOVE JILLXXX

Hi Jill,
Thanks very much for your reply.
My daughter has told me that the educational psychologist needs to see me soon so I will ask him about what resources are available for us as a family.
At the moment, whether she is arguing with us or is constantly talking, due to her being anxious about something, we are just letting it all go over our heads in case we make her feel worse by saying something wrong.
She was anxious about going to school today, worrying about some small thing, and yesterday never stopped talking and skin picking, so I knew something was wrong.
So, all today, I have been worrying about her, being close to tears all day and only being able to talk to my friend at work about it stopped me from just going back home and retiring back to bed.
My friend only has a medical on Thursday to do now for her new job, and once that all comes back ok she will be handing her notice in.
At the moment I'm not sure how I will cope without her being at work with me. It's a very scary thought that I keep putting to the back of my mind but I know that her leaving date will now be very soon.
Anyway, daughter will be seeing the psych tomorrow so we will see what he has to say.
Thanks for your continued support, Jill, it really is much appreciated.
Luv Kate xx

Nic,
Hannah saw the ed psych today and told him that Meg had sent her the relaxation CD.
She told him that I suffered anxiety as well and she told him about this site.
He asked her for the web addy, which she gave him, and he has said he will check it out!
Just thought how sweet it was of her to give the site a plug! [^]

Thats great Kate, how lovely of her . Please thank her for us.
We have quite a few docs who have popped by. They are all very welcome.
How is she doing in herself ??
Did you look up the OCD telecon site for family at all ?

Hi Meg,
I never received the flyers etc from you so haven't been able to check it out!
Hannah has anxious days and worse anxious days. But, at least she is now opening up more and telling me how she is feeling and if things are causing her anxiety to rise.
The psych has told her that her Head of House will be phoning me shortly to arrange a meeting between the psych and myself so will be able to ask him how we should be approaching the problem.
Things are quieter here at the moment as we are all making an effort to stay calm and hopefully this will transfer to Hannah as well.
Still haven't heard any more about the GP referral, so don't know how long that will take.

Hi Kate
Just been browsing the BBC2 website and I came across this page:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio2/shows/vine/moreinfo.shtml
There's some links there for various OCD organisations, I don't know if they'll be any help but I thought I'd post it up.
