If YOU are needing something right now that is safe & natural I would suggest Valerian Root - you can get it at your local WalMart (or whatever store you have your way). It is all natural and works really fast with no side effects that I can speak of.
As far as the OCD goes - you will need to work on retraining your brain... for it is use to going there, the fears of your daughter, you must teach it not to react - sing or pray when the thoughts try to enter your mind again (any thing to distract it). LoVe, Rhapsody - |

To retrain your mind try these strategies:
For every negative thought, think of a positive thought. Challenge your negative thoughts every time you have one. If you think you can't handle something, tell yourself you can and then list all the positive things you can do to combat the negativity.

What kind of obsessions do you have about your daughter? Thoughts about you harming her? I have OCD as well... and have had these kind of obsessions. I might be able to help you a bit. You can PM me if you like.

When ones has to retrain the brain - they have to replace the old with the new... to stop the brain from doing what it has LEARNED to do or how it has LEARNED to react in any given (or certain) situation.
Check out the ANXIETY section and read "NEW AND IN NEED OF SUPPORT" thread - I posted a replacement therapy on there (given to me by my counselor) - reply back and give me the word or feeling you need to replace/retrain and I will give you the positive word to input in the negative ones place. Basically you must get your thinking & your feelings in the same line up, or your inner feelings (your belief system - your emotions) will win out every time... and that is what the "The Script" will help you to do - to retrain wrong assumptions and to reconfigure irrational thinking / feelings.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
