Did you just focus on that to keep your mind off the other?Claudiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057662343562530495noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-52891058131601710872009-10-20T14:58:56.242-05:002009-10-20T14:58:56.242-05:00I was going to let you know that you could use any...I was going to let you know that you could use any pictures you wanted from my family. My blog is http://wilkinsworld-tricia.blogspot.com. I'd love to have our family featured in anything that helps get other kids homes, although I'm not sure our family is interesting enough anymore. We've had our boys in our home for 3 years now. They are almost 8, 7 and 4, and our bio girls are 11 and 7. This is my favorite month because I have three kids the same age!Triciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02923134755793257683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11190188.post-82227844377865585172009-10-20T11:26:02.413-05:002009-10-20T11:26:02.413-05:00You may have written about this before and I just ...You may have written about this before and I just don't know, but do you have much sense of what OCD feels like to Dominyk? Is his itchiness some kind of sensory processing thing or is it the pain of not being able to fulfill a compulsion? And it sounds like he NEEDS a response from you, right?<br /><br />I no longer have tendencies strong enough to get myself diagnosed with OCD, but if I had to explain it to someone I would say that (for me) it was like having an unbearable itchiness under the skin, deep as the bone, not just yearning but a desperation to GET THIS SATISFIED NOW. I think part of the way I got past it was by learning to take things that were moderately satisfying like taking apart a small piece of cloth thread by thread and learn to take joy in those to the point where I could sort of scale myself down from the bigger things. I still prefer my route to be sort of a circle, that if I go in one door I can go out another, but I don't get hung up in the same way of feeling like I can only go on with life if things happen a certain way. <br /><br />But it's now little things like that, though my problems were only severe when my depression was at its worst and were probably not things that people who only knew me superficially would have noticed. It was an intensely internal thing for me. And so I'm not suggesting any of this is any sort of treatment for Dominyk. I guess I'm just asking because I know what he <em>sounds</em> like and wonder how he feels.Thornhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08295569811686002557noreply@blogger.com
