Not a good week

[kate]

Thanks, Karen.

I really thought that something bad had happened to her especially with all the noise from fireworks going on last night :(

She has been asleep on the chair all morning, so haven't got a clue what she got up to last night [:O]

Thanks for your reply!

Hi Kate, what a nightmare week for you hun.

Taking one thing at a time, your cat is back!

Your daughter has at least be diagnosed with something that can be treated and I hear that meds work really well in children with OCD, hey and at least you have support and advice from here Kate!

And as for your son, I bet he's home now safe and sound, I hope so hun.

How are things for you today??

Take Care Tara xx

Hiya mate

Firstly I know where the cat has been - he went to sort Su's Scamps out. Glad he is home safe and sound. I go mad with worry when ours aren't here in the morning and evening.

Secondly - I am really sad that your daughter has been diagnosed but I am very impressed that the doctor didn't just fob you off and tell you it is a "phase" and "growing pains" etc. That is quite encouraging that he has taken it seriously and I know you are not happy about it and particularly the thought of having to take medication but it is good that they are acting now rather than leaving it to go untreated.

I hope son is back home safe too and will probably be out "trick or treating" again tonight no doubt.

You should have a good cry and let it all out. Have you discussed the issues with Mark as well?

Big hug to you and I hope you feel a bit better today.

May catch you online later for a chat ok?

hi Kate,

Am happy to hear that your cat has returned!!

Hi Kate

Sorry to hear you have been down. I'm glad the cat's back though, one less thing to worry about.

Try not to panic too much about your doctors diagnosis of your daughter. Wait till you see the psychiatrist who will know loads more on the matter and have good ways to help. Hopefully as she is so young and you were so alert with picking up on it, it is something that can be nipped in the bud.

Hope things get better for you soon

Hi Everyone,

Thanks again for your lovely replies.

Tara, I'm so greatful for all the support here. Although I know it's not strictly a "panic" issue I just felt the need to post here knowing that you lovely lot would know what I was going through.

Son had 1 hours sleep last night. Got a bit p****d on alco pops and wine [:O]

Sarah, Molly has had a very lazy day with lots and LOTS of fusses cos I never thought I would see her again!

Nic, yea she could have been down to Scamps house and had a night on the town with him!! Obviously, Scamps is just like his owner, leads everyone astray! [8D]

Nic, although I feel really down cos of my daughter, I just can't seem to cry. I still got the massive lump in the throat but thats as far as it goes.

I used to be in tears on a daily basis, so find it really odd that the tears now wont come.

I've discussed it all with Mark and he is worried about her but like most blokes, he doesn't know how to deal with it. Mind you, nor do I!!!

Hope to catch up with you later.

Emily,I'm just hoping that the referral doesnt take too long. The doctor said that provisions for childrens mental health is even worse than for adults.

The Health Visitor is contacting the school nurse next week, who in turn will be contacting me. So I'm hoping that maybe things can move forward quite quickley.

Thanks again for all the support you have all given me. It really does help to have people you can talk to and who trully understand

Lots of Luv Kate xxx

Hiya kate,

Just caught up with this post - what a week

I don't know what to say - I am quite upset for you cause of your daughter but as Nic said - at least it has been diagnosed.

Just thought I would write this to let you know I'm thinking off you
Love
