OCD - how much you know about it?

Obsessive Compulsory Disorder...psychologists or educators call it OCD. When I first heard that, I have puzzles in my mind. What's that? And how it affects me? Why it happens to my family? I could not sleep that night, just to think about what I have read online and all those printout from the web. It's easily be confused with autism and sometimes people cannot even notice others who have that issue. This disorder is due to the specific chemistry in one's brain and the person who has that disorder cannot control himself on doing something. Most people who have it would have the following symptoms: -

1) Repeat doing the same thing many many times in a day without a good reason such as washing hands all the times to make sure that it is clean
2) Most of the time, that person would be in great anxiety and he worries a lot, worries if he's normal, worries if he would be loved, worries for being left alone...
3) Very stubborn and highly organized on doing something such as slippers have to be placed in certain way, toy cars have to be placed facing the same direction side by side...
4) When he wants to do something, he will do it no matter what. Even though he knows that it is not allowed, he cannot control himself not to do it.
5) Emotionally unstable and can be triggered to be depressed or anxious. You can see the worries and anxiety in their eyes.

I see all these symptoms on my son and the counselor reinforce and ensure me that my son has OCD even though we are still waiting for appointment of his assessment. The counselor told me that we are lucky to spot the issue early and hopefully intervention can help him to direct back to the main track easily. 2 referrals have been given to me and my husband and see which source can give us an early date of assessment and get suitable training for us to teach him.

I feel lucky that we have sent him to Chibi Chan which has the support from The Parent Place where the counselor can able to recognize his issue. On the other hand, the counselor told me that Chibi Chan is not the suitable school for my son as it is always too busy and the teachers are not experienced enough and kind enough to be able to handle a kid with OCD. I'm sad to learn that he may need another school because the the current one cannot facilitate his needs. The school sort of does not want to and capable to deal with that. Honestly speaking, it would be a valuable experience to meet with professionals to learn more how to help kids. However, sometimes things just cannot be perfect, especially that we are human beings.

I don't blame the parent that complained about my son's behaviors in school but I feel so disappointed that as a mother, this parent cannot set a good example to her kid to be kind and generous. The way she talked and what she talked were so childish and insensitive to me. When my kids are around me, I would try to be a model to them when I talk to people, particularly in a school party with almost all the parents and children in it. I told my husband that we should not be like her, we are not kids and we should not act like kids. We love our kids but we love other children too. Most of the children in the school are lovely and I won't pick on a kid because he cannot act like the others. Honestly speaking, my son is friendly and lovely most of the time.

I hope that someone can tell me that my son has no issue and he can be successful but I need to face the facts that he and we need help. It's hard for us to learn that but as parents, we have to set a model and lead them to the right ways.

●樓台會／合唱：羅文＞顧嘉輝曲＞盧國沾詞＞無線電視劇《梁山伯與祝英台》主題曲 

男：樓臺暗淚垂恨似春江水 
誓約同守信物為證 
為何負約把婚退？ 

女：樓臺暗淚垂恨馬家迫娶 
誓約難守信物難證 
無情逐散鴛鴦侶 

男：我知妹心暗悲 
女：負了兄妹心更悲 
男：揮淚何堪回首 
女：悔盟使我心碎 

男：樓臺暗淚垂恨似春江水 
合：誓約難守信物難證 
為誰兩淚垂？ 

女：我心早經暗許 
男：馬家要將你迎娶 
女：此恨長付東流水 
男：有誰補我心碎？ 

女：樓臺涕淚垂來世雙雙對 
合：蠟炬成灰血淚凝結 
　 在黃泉再伴隨 

●山伯臨終／羅文 

今生無緣份 
情淚斑斑 
蝴蝶悲分散 
歡情永不返 
蝴蝶玉佩曾做媒 
悲山伯夢到歡情已夢殘 
相思債難填 
到死仍愛萬千 
念到生死離別 
長憶是紅顏 
讀卿卿書信 
珍重滿簡 
情意有千萬 
紅淚染朱顏 
今世做夫妻難也難 
哀對哀慈顏 
我死後親娘太慘淡 
願你加餐飯 
我死後魂歸託夢還 
胡橋鎮上立墳 
碑石兩半 
題上刻字梁山伯 
那一塊為了祝英台有日還 
誰為我寫絕輐 

●赴杭供讀／合唱：羅文＞顧嘉輝曲＞盧國沾詞＞無線電視劇《梁山伯與祝英台》插曲 

祝：風和日麗花如錦 
女扮男裝千里行 
絲絲柳 鶯歌唱 
風光令人贊 
遠山外鳥翱翔 
草橋下輕舟泛 

梁：風光極目流盼 
到底上路難 
前路遠關山道 萬水千山 
此去路漫漫 遊子輕嘆 

祝：小生赴杭州 
詩書攻讀最堪贊 
異地燕離巢 
別家三年才復還 
崎嶇徑有何難 
哪怕萬重山 
那邊望有涼亭 
稍除倦意再復行 

梁：小生赴杭州 
詩書攻讀最堪贊 
但望佔鰲頭 
望得功名才復還 
他朝報功勞 
親恩重如山 
盼孤雁倚門閣 
盼兒衣錦還 
那邊望有涼亭 
稍除倦意再復行 

●回十八／羅文 

鳳呀鳳求凰 
直走祝家拜訪 
如今匆忙去一趟 
滿山花怒放 
未得牡丹吐香 
未忘記牡丹花 
到祝家村是為我開放 

雙依傍 鴛鴦偎傍 
雙飛呀蝴蝶花兒旁 
觀音廟那日共拜堂 
曾同攜手極荒唐 

鳳呀鳳求凰 
直走祝家拜訪 
未忘記女紅妝 
求娶英台諧鳳凰 

同結鸞凰 

●十八相送／合唱：羅文＞顧嘉輝曲＞盧國沾詞＞無線電視劇《梁山伯與祝英台》插曲 

男：燕子南飛匆匆過 
兩家同窗共三載 
女：結金蘭草橋邊 
男：光陰如梭又春來 
女：情如手足深似海 
長亭分別有感慨 
男：如今送別歸家去 
難舍祝英台 
男：滿山紅花香飄送 
可惜未生牡丹花 
女：牡丹花兄讚賞 
我家有牡丹貌芳華 
男：遠隔千山採牡丹 
徒勞虛夢我驚怕 
女：願兄意會這番心意 
負了牡丹芳華 
女：那邊有蝴蝶雙雙對 
似比我共兄心相許 
男：我怎與弟郎心相許 
世間只有雌雄共可唱隨 
女：那裡鴛鴦相戲水 
你我雙伴結鴛侶 
男：賢弟他朝配佳偶 
效那鴛鴦雙伴隨 
女：這一個廟中觀音坐 
我牽過梁兄共拜堂 
手牽手心連心 
我好似玉女伴痴郎 
男：男兒一雙怎定親 
你太荒唐言行狂 
梁祝都是男子漢 
未許雙拜堂 
男：送弟你回鄉多感慨 
女：數載啊同窗此際分開 
男：怕見臨歧 
女：幾時聚首 
男：我心暗自神傷問英台 
情如金石深似海 
女：離亭分別最悲哀 
男：願弟記住梁山伯 
女：願你記得英台 
合：魚雁常寄來 

●化蝶／大合唱＞顧霉輝曲＞盧國沾詞＞無線電視劇《梁山伯與祝英台》插曲 

合唱 
萬里花開遍 
蝶舞飛翩翩 
蝶兒呀相伴成對 
蝶兒共舞最纏綿 
梁祝化蝶飛上天 
雲上已經變神仙 
天仙伴同在彩雲上 
醉人歌舞千遍 
凡塵世俗緣 
未似梁祝心堅 
話梁祝故事傳後世 
流傳到目前隐藏
