OCD symptoms

[mar]

So the last 4 days ds is thinking about dying at night . Has not done this for awhile. Last couple of days is whispering the book. Omg he wants to look at the OCD book that we started when he was seven and we haven't looked at it for years.! So we look at the book and he says what does OCD Stand for? So I explain it and say that I have it and lots of other people do. Wow it's so different talking to a 10 yr old and 7. He never asked that question. So he tics a little while I explain it and says I get it . Then he says his stomach hurts. I tell hom its because he is probably stessing out. No he says but of course his stomach is better 10 min later. We talk about the "green guy" which is what we used back then and he wants to keep it at that. He says he trying to not think about dying but it keeps going in his head. We talk about how to control it. So then he blurts out OCD to dd this morning and she is like what does that mean? I tell him to be quiet and not say nothing b/c she will be on the 12 o clock news announcing it to everyone. Anyway, ds is now talking about mini bikes non stop. I know he will go with this for a couple of weeks until he gets on something else. Is there anything I could do for this type of situation. He will pick a topic and go with it for a week. He gets obsessive about it. What's crazy Is that when DH gets home DS calms down. So no one realizes that I am ready to pull my hair out! So today ds said dad thinks motorized scooters are more dangerous then mini bikes. I think really!!! So here we go for the next nine hours! Is there anything I can do to help him calm down and not dwell on mini bikes?
