LKim's Journal

Well, I kinda knew what was coming today.. been seeing it for some time now.

Britney , my oldest daughter, most all of her life, has been scared of being sick.. Example: If she happen to cut her finger barely, she would always ask me or her Daddy , Am I gonna be o.k.? Do you think it might be cancer?

Over the last several months, she has been obssessing over her health. She says she just don't feel right, if she has one little ache, itch etc,.. she thinks something might be wrong with her, over the last month, things have spiraled out of control, it has started effecting her daily life, her daily thinking, etc... she has been to the Dr. 3 times, in the last month, and NOTHING was ever wrong.

She was diagnosed with OCD today and was put on 20mg of Prozac a day. I am so upset, but part of me is relieved in a sense, she has literally about driven me crazy, with concerns and questions, that I would answer but MY answer was never enough re-assurance for her.  Just as others have NEVER been enough for me at times in my life. I have felt so much frustration, not being help to help her sort all this out, just like my family felt about me when I was going through so much.

I hope and pray that this medicine helps with her obsessing compulsive thinking. PLease say a prayer for Britney.

I will have to say, Britney is handling this well, but then again, OCD has been a part of her life concerning me for about 6 years now, so she really understands things, it's just been somewhat different for her since she was the one with the all the thoughts.

I have been hurting so bad, my left knee is really what is giving me the most pain, and I am really not understanding why.. unless it is because my left leg has been swelling alot lately.

Heath just got home from school, and he is wanting to tell me about some things that happened today. I'll go. Take care. God Bless All of you!  Lori
