Some psychs say the most stupid things! I had one who told me I should get a hysterectomy because I didn't want children. She said she had one, and it was no big deal! I know of varying experiences, and I think it's stupid to have an unnecessary hysterectomy, but the point is, some psychs say idiotic things.

Your family sounds wonderful, being so loving and touching. Tell your daughter that maybe that psych didn't get enough touching and loving, so she doesn't know the benefits. Keep kissing and hugging!

I really wish the best for your daughter. As someone who has OCD, I know it's a hard habit to break. I wish her strength.

I've always had stuffed animals. I'm 37 and I still have stuffed animals. And anyone who has a problem with it--can get STUFFED!!! LOL!
