I am the spouse of a person who has OCD, but was never really diagnosed. Her key crack. The key characteristics are need to always have everything in its right Place, when we go out, hast to sit in a certain seat, and table has to be perfectly said before eating. At home a complete introvert went out with other people a complete extrovert. What can I do to help here
Encourage her to seek ERP therapy with an OCD specialist
if so, at what point? and how much do you explain? are there sources you like to use that might explain to them what it actually is?
Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?
Last night I was staying at my boyfriend’s house and couldn’t sleep. I felt like i desperately needed to go back to my parents and clean and organize my room. This has happened a few times before when I was staying at his place. Since then he’s been very upset with me. Does anyone else’s partner do this? Any advice? It’s been hard. He’s made me feel so shameful for having OCD. As if it’s not tough enough /:
