I would recommend talking to a professional as well as your partner just to figure out what you can do for them and learn methods on how to help in a bad OCD episode or potential panic or anxiety attack, it is important to understand how to avoid crisis in that certain moment and then help calm them down, so taking to a proffessional can help you learn how to at least start getting a grasp on how to do those things.

I think a good book can be "Is she the one? Living with ocd when you are married" I found it extremely helpful!!

This is an excellent question. There are lots of resources on youtube that might be helpful. I think the most important thing to remember is that the person is still the person you fell in love with- try and separate them from the illness. Remember, also that you don't have to solve this for them, they just need you to love them through it and support them. Remember to take good care of yourself as well, dealing with mental illness can be stressful for anyone and seeing someone you care for go through that can be painful. https://youtu.be/0UVz-sZ6YGI https://www.treatmyocd.com/blog/5-must-read-books-for-people-struggling-with-ocd

What is a common family joke. OCD is hereditary on my father's side. However I also live with complex PTSD, and ADHD. I didn't learn till recently how severe my OCD is and the intensity gets amplified if the though goes to either of the other two. It's a loop I've identified recently... just little too late. I've lived with OCD for years not really addressing it till I see that's the very reason I cause damage to loved ones. I'm married, 33, a vet. My marriage is not in the best place now. I have a son who's 4 and already showing signs of OCD. Currently my marriage is at a point where we are working on ourselves. It's discovered that my wife's issues are reflections of my own. I understand fully now that I am the center of the issues but also the solution. I need help for me. What happens with my relationships depends on me showing that I am better and able to process thoughts and emotions better. Journaling helps alot. Trying to do hobbies or this that and 3rd but. I'm willing to try anything. Things are on a line. I'm open to any and all POV and ideas. I'm not out crying. I'm taking a big step for me. Something 25 years over due. Thank you for reading this. As I tell myself now. You'll best this and be better

Someone I care about has OCD, he often gets worried to answer certain things in fear that he might be wrong or gets anxious in times when certain conversations such as dealing with negative emotions come into play and in the event something goes wrong even though we deal with the issue it takes him a long time to put himself back together. Often times worried about his image, hyper focused on being a good person etc etc. I believe Iβm doing my best but as someone who doesnβt struggle with OCD I cant fully comprehend him and i wish to learn more about it, not just read it off of google. Any advice would be appreciate it. -Thank you!
