Baseball players spit and scratch or wear the same pair of lucky socks. OCD is different; it makes no sense, and it causes big-time trouble—there’s nothing good about it. You aren’t addicted to OCD, and OCD isn’t a simple habit that you could quit or change if you only wanted to. ” “Some kids’ obsessions are about hurting someone or saying or doing something harmful or inappropriate. One girl named Amy had the urge to stab her best friend with a fork, but only at her house. Because her friend, Taylor, didn’t know that Amy had OCD, this caused a lot of trouble in their friendship as Amy stopped asking Taylor over to her house.
Before they know it, many kids with OCD find that they’re hardly doing anything they want to do; they’re spending all their time doing what OCD wants them to do. Life isn’t much fun anymore. Some kids drop out of organized sports and Scouts and other group activities because they don’t fit in when OCD is tagging along. Some lose friends and end up pretty isolated because other kids don’t want to wait around while they perform all their rituals. Or the other kids just find they’re competing with OCD for the child’s attention, and that’s not much of a friendship.
And rituals that are a welcome part of daily life, such as bedtime songs, religious practices, and sports rituals. Normal worries, such as contamination fears, may also increase during times of stress, such as when someone in the family is sick or dying. Only when symptoms persist, make no sense, cause much distress, or interfere with functioning should they be considered OCD. You and your child may not have a hard time distinguishing between what’s normal and what’s OCD, because, as mentioned in Chapter 1, your child probably knows and can say that the obsessions and compulsions that plague him aren’t normal.
