I dont think so
Since my son as been living with me I am in close contact with OCD as a Father they are times when I think that I should be able to ease is worries and it frustrates me that his mind doesnt give him that all clear signal, in the sense that he as nothing to worry about but it doesnt work that way does it...
Today he had a appointment at 10:00 he never wanted to go what am I to do, I cant take him by force...he said that he was feeling ok and didnt want to go, mind you its a new physician but the contact between them was well established or so I tought, school is just around the corner and that to will be a new environnement for him I have tried to talk to him about it and he doesnt seem to hot to the idear.
Cripes when are we going to find something to make them more at ease in there skin, hes always affraid of some virus washes is hands I dont know how many times a day. and I find it very coincidental that is hair picking started again after a few days with his Mom.

I think your son knows how much you care and that helps him. As much as we want to take away all of our children's problems, we can't do that. They must learn on their own. There are, however, doctors to help them when they need it. Although your son is feeling okay, if you feel it is important for him to go, then he should go. (You might not be able to take him by force, but you can say "yes, you are going" and not accept "no" for an answer). This creates problems either way, either he is mad at you for forcing him to go or he is not as well as could be for not going.
Remember, you sometimes know what is best, don't doubt yourself. You are doing great!

I have had a good long talk with my son when we were out for a walk, I think he was more attentive in that setting, I tried to explain to him that he could be more at ease with himself with a medical supervision, he told me afterwards that he was going to be more open to it...will see.
True as parents we would want to take on any suffering that our children may have, believe me I would be the first in line if I only could, but thats euthopic isnt it.
I find myself thinking of maybe selling the house but then I think were will I be in 5 years.
Will my boy still be with me... its hard to ask myself those type of questions I find myself thinking of the future.
