Well this is just sad. Reminds me of my mom, and guess what she was hiding the snacks from us when we were kids, because it was her comfort food stored and waiting, and well it ran in the family and she was saveing us from over eating. I think you should leave ur mom alone about forceing her to admit, you dont need that. What she needs is support and love. She isnt dealing with something deep down, she needs someone to talk to.
I wouldn't blame weight problems on your mom. The way I see it is, if she's hiding her snackfood gorges, then wouldn't you be raised thinking that it's wrong to eat unhealthy foods? Just a thought, seems like you have some mixed logic there.
Im sorry I probly cant answer your question, I wish the bes for you,but I was wondering I am a young parent of 4 boys and I am just now realizing that I may have a problem and I wanted to see if these are some of the things your mother does or has done.I also clean alot and it has started more since i have become a stay at home mom.I obsess germs and my 5 yr old is picking it up.I to never thought about it cause I never think it hurts to be clean.But i can spend the whole day cleaning everyday never even sitting down bu to go to an appt or something.I have seen people with worse ocd problems so i never thought anything about it.I come up with germ protection ideas all the time for my kids cause i just dont like them to get sick.is any of this sound like something to check into?I have been diagnosed with bi-polar and i know i might have add but just wondering if this was familiar?good luck
Are you living at home? Your mom has to be willing to want to quit these behaviors. Are these behaviors hurting anyone besides the role model she sits for you? I don't believe there is a cut and dry siagnosis for OCD. The first step would be talk to your mom, no attacking just letting her know how you feel.
