Living With An ‘Obsessive Compulsive’ Sufferer
Where do I begin and where do I end, I am a survivor that’s all I know for sure and my beautiful daughter who has had to live with the agony of OCD every second of every minute of every challenging day is by far the bravest person that I have ever met. Every day that we have survived together has been a SMALL MIRACLE and I have God to thank for that, he gave me the strength, the patience, the understanding, the perseverance and the abundance of love that I needed to give to my very special daughter. Today, she has finally reached her last year of school and just to get her this far was a struggle beyond belief. Chronic mood swings were part of her everyday life, floating on the clouds one minute and down in a deep, dark hole the next were always the chaos of our endless day. At night, she never had the privilege of peaceful sleep because night terrors and later, when she got older, severe nightmares would steal their way into her terrified subconscious.
