[quote=Anonymous]I'm sorry that she's experiencing this.  I was in this place at her age and wrote in my diary a lot.  During my youth, my diary was actually my bestfriend.  I'm not sure why this was my journey but I am still introverted and still have OCD.  I stop asking why and embraced it.  I hope that she's encouraged by the love you lavish on her and reminding her that she is very special!  At times, I wondered what was wrong with me as I felt in my circle of friendships that I was strange, but I discovered through reading books that I was not strange, just different.  That gave me peace. I hope your precious daughter feels that she is so precious and unique and that there's no one else like in the entire universe.  However, I hope she's coming to also understand that this "OCD/anxiety" affects many in society and she can be brave, successful, creative and achieve all the dreams that her heart desires in spite of this.  Build up her strengths and continue to celebrate her with each new day! I hope the family and friendships are a great source of encouragement and support for your family as you continue to seek answers.[/quote]
