looking for input.
My son is diagnosed with OCD, wants to e just like everyone else - playing the 'in' games but he HAS to be PERFECT... anything less than better than everybody else is unacceptable in his world & it puts such a strain of the family!
Any tips? Banning him makes matters worse...

Hello there - do you have any contact with a mental health team in your area. I think CBT could be helpful for your son. He has to learn that being less than perfect is good enough and carefully applied CBT could help I am sure.
He has had cbt with camhs & discharged!
Hiya Nanuuk,
Is the perfectionism OCD where he fears something bad will happen if he does not get it right, or is it more of a personality perfectionism trait? I am not quite sure what to advise, but I would ask your GP to make another referral back to CAMHS.
Kind regards,
Ashley
He just HAS to win - the whole point of playing is to win & anything less & he is a failure... draining from a parents perspective & any club he goes to take me to one side & tell me how negative his attitude is & how worn out they are by it!!!!
Camhs was as much use as a chocolate teapot it was one -2 - one sessions but in the reportI (who sat in the waiting room alone) said an awful lot dyring these sessions he had! It was a pack of lies from start to finish. I also fail even now, to see how taking out an A4 piece of paper with "how many times a day I have intrusive thoughts" written in red capitals be psychologist & tally marking every one, in the middle of lessons, was ever going to help a child already the target of bullies in the class, or for that matter, assuring him he wont be expected to do anything he didnt feel comfy with - only to tell him she will not see him again because he was horror stricken at what she expected him to do & said to him he was clearly too immature OR he was just attention seeking & making it up (she called me in to tell me this also) - he was just 10yrs old!!!
High school are referring him to 'community camhs' for one 2 one sessions to improve him self image (yh like this has NEVER been done in his life?!?
