How do i get my mom to the doctors to treat her severe OCD?
Question:
They are one of those OCD people labled under cleaning/dirty and if they dont clean themselves or the house they will lose their minds and go absolutely crazy, so in order of fix it they scream shout and pout until they have the whole household cleaning 4 hours a day. My mom see's one dust and starts to cry, my whole house is filled with mat's, rugs, plastic mats, and newspaper on the floor and is dusted out daily. If i don't clean my spot-less room daily she screams and yells and says pretty degrading stuff about me.
So.. Because of it i went through depression and 2 sucide attempts about how unhappy they make me and how they never talk normally but constantly yell and scream and tell me how disgusting i am.
Now my question
How do I get them to see a doctor to get treatment? Everytime i ask them to see a doctor they are in denial of course and my mom ends up in tears
Answers:
well its hard to get them to go to the doctor if they are not commited...talk to your mom about how much this is affecting you and explain to them that this behavior is not normal and reasure them that if they get the help they need they can feel what normal feels like..its ok to go to the doctor for something like this its a chemical imbalance and its just like going to the doctor for anyother type of illness you should not be ashamed at all...take it from me i had ocd and it drove me nutz.since i have been on medication i am so much happier and feel so much better...i hope everything works out good luck
1) It is not possible to change ANYONE. They have to either want to go, or to see a need to go to the doctors. Work on yourself and manifesting change in your own life. You're overdue for some serious change of living place.
2) You don't tell your age, but WHY?? would anyone choose to stay w/ 3 people who have caused one to want to kill themselves twice now? LEAVE "HOME" AT ONCE! It's not your true home obviously. Why do you stay? It's way past time for you to go!
I have OCD, and I know how frustrating it can be.
I take pills that help me control it, the name of the pill is:
Apo-fluvoxamine. really.
They'll need a perscription though.
To get them to a psycologist (how do you spell that?) tell a close friend of your Mom's you can trust about how you feel and ask her to present the subject to your Mom.
Adults respect adults opinions more than teens.
So it might work.
Google OCD and look around for ways to help them.
OCD in itself is a way for the brain to releive built up stress,
it temporarilly lowers it, but after the compulsion is fullfilled,
it brings up another cumpulsion and highers the stress.
Good luck!
I'll be praying for you.
