[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]There's a lot to your post.

First of all, you are confusing OCD and Obessive Compulsive Personality Disorder.  They are very different.  OCPD is where a person is obsessively cleaning all the time.  OCD is quite different.

Second, what is wrong with medication?  So what if you were able to tough it out?  That doesn't make it wrong for your daughter.

Third, you sound terribly controlling and like you want to nitpick and play the devil's advocate rather than just listening to her and recognizing there is a huge problem here.  Stop trying to prove her wrong.  Listen.  Be on her side.[/quote]

OP here. Meds have very nasty side effects. It's not just taking the easy way out. The psych felt she didn't have OCD and instead told her she needs to become independent from us. He suggested a supported apartment. I was OK with the idea. [b]I went to COLLEGE in 1992 and learned about OCD. The professor showed us a video of people washing their hands, being organized, afraid of germs.[/quote][/b]

OP, you have an attitude problem here.  I too went to COLLEGE (for psychology) and to LAW SCHOOL and am highly educated and readily admit I know very little in the grand scheme of things and am always learning.  Please read up on OCD.  My mother has it and is an obscene hoarder.  Almost all hoarders have OCD.  I'm not saying your daughter has it - obviously I don't know her and can't tell, but she is crying out for help.  She sounds like my SN kid who is depressed.  She's depressed and sleeps all the time.  We got her special services at college.  With supports she will graduate but it hasn't been easy and we've had to be involved.  Your daughter needs your love and compassion, not a lecture about how you saw a film in college.  Maybe a breather would be good for her.  Community college is a good start when she's ready.  If you haven't had a full NT workup done, you should do so.  Later, if your daughter returns to college, you will want to be more involved in her program so will want her to waive her FERPA rights so you can work with the college's Office of Disability Services.[/quote]
