My concern is my daughter's OCD. She has been diagnosed with this illness together with mild psychosis because of the 'voices' telling her to carry out her rituals. She currently sees a psychologist, but my daughter knows that her only 'solution' is medication. But she refuses to consider this option. My daughter has the fear of Karma. She can't say or think bad of someone or karma will get her back. She constantly has bets with herself. If she's playing a ball game, she'll say things like 'if I miss this shot then I'm going to die during surgery' (she's having her wisdom teeth out in a few weeks). Even if she gets it in, she performs a ritual like knocking on her head. Any negative thought or intrusive thought, she must knock on her head. If she says anything bad about someone, she'll knock and say stuff over and over, like "I didn't mean to say that, I only meant ..bla bla..... I take it back, I take it back" whilst knocking the whole time. This could take up to half an hour at a time, with one issue only. She could be snuggled in bed and the thought to knock will come into her head and she can't sleep unless she sits up and knocks all the negative thoughts away. She constantly washes her hands, she thinks she has AIDS and has had a blood test to prove to herself she didn't. Mind you she is a virgin and does not inject drugs of any kind. She believes if her periods are late by even one day, the thought of 'what if I'm pregnant' enters her head. She believes she's going to die at 39 because that's the first number that came into her head when she thought of death. My daughter is 19 years old. It is exhausting for her, but at the same time, I as her mother feel helpless not being able to help her.
