Hello and thank you so much for sharing your story to our forums,
We can see how much you care for your daughter, and she is so lucky to have a parent who is doing everything they can to support her. Please know you are doing really well and it is great to hear that therapy has been helping. It's okay for her mental health to ebb and flow - this is a very human part of the process.
OCD can be an extremely all-consuming experience. Things like uncertainty and doubt exacerbate this anxiety, so what the person often needs in these moments is a real sense of inner trust and safety (which can be tough to cultivate when we are so young!) However, this is the perfect time to help her develop this practice with co-regulation strategies. Whether this is breathing together, listening to some music, exploring movement, a big hug, or even holding space for her to feel all that she is feeling - over time, she can learn to do these things for herself.
Medication can certainly help, and we would recommend chatting about this with your GP (we aren't able to give medical advice on the forums, unfortunately). But you could check in with the nurses at Health Direct for any pressing queries.
