I think it's great that you're taking your nephew in. My nephew has also been having a really hard time. I want to help, but he closes people out. I think he either has ocd or odd or some such. Bless you and you are in my prayers.

Support Groups
Close Lyme Disease
Typical story: sx for over 15 yrs, doc after doc w/ different dx. sx were very severe last year, with sx i had not experienced prior (neurological, extreme fatigue). I wanted to get tested for Lyme, but insurance would not pay. I found my own doc and yes, I have Lyme (and other stuff). I am much healthier and happier and thank god for my doc, he saved my life.
Treatments
- Mepron Working / Worked
Close Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD)
I have OCD, but it is very minor (I also have bipolar disorder and depression), my nephew moved in with me in Jan and he has severe OCD. I'm really looking for support as a loved one of someone who has this horrible disease. When I watch him ritual, I want to cry.
Treatments
- Prozac Working / Worked
- He says its worked wonders but Im still baffled by the many many many many rituals per day!
Open Bipolar Disorder
I knew something was "wrong" with me for a very long time, I finally found a therapist and was dx'd with depression and then bipolar. I am stable now, for the most part.
Treatments
- Lamictal Working / Worked
- no side effects I'm aware of....
- Lithium Working / Worked
- Wonder drug for me. After about three weeks, aaaaahhhhh
- Seroquel Working / Worked
- helps me sleep - thank god for seroquel!!
- Valium Working / Worked
- I got valium due to a misdiagnosis of restless leg syndrome but it helps my body to relax and i take a very very low dose every night.
- Marijuana Working / Worked
- I've smoked it for all things wrong w/ me and would continue to do so except it is - ridiculously - illegal. Love it. (Cept the occasional pot paranoia)
Open Sexual Abuse
I was molested by my uncle and my brother. I didn't remember any of it until i was in therapy around the age of 30. I don't speak to my family much anymore because they know and refuse to acknowledge. Not true, because they choose to choose my abuser over me.
Treatments
- Art Working / Worked
- love to be creative in any way, but especially painting
- Group Therapy Working / Worked
- I did participate in group therapy a few years ago and it was very powerful for me.
- Music Working / Worked
- love any and all music and dancing!!! makes me feel so free.
- Reiki Too Soon to Tell
- I'll be starting this very soon. My doc actually suggested I clear my chakras, go ahead, guess which one is blocked?? yep!
