Anyone have any advice for me on how I can help myself and my husband with our marriage in regard to me and my mental health and brain constantly sabotaging and making things worse? Struggling and upset…. Words of help and advice much appreciated ❤️🩹
Thank you all for the help and advice. My husband and I talked and have crossed this bridge before together. Luckily he has been understanding and there for me through it all so I am blessed to have that. I know it’s an every day journey and each day I grow stronger and better at trying to handle the mental health struggles. I also just found a new therapist for my self so fingers crossed I can work on some stuff with them and help myself and relationship get better over time. Again thank you for the advice to all. ❤️

I'm sorry you're struggling so much. It's difficult to offer anything specific without more details. Finding an OCD therapist would be ideal. But for your marriage, even a general therapist might be able to provide some ideas.
i say that your husband needs to help too because maybe he aint but idk. Focus on yourself and do things you enjoy, get him off ur mind for a little without feeling bad
OCD therapy ❤️
Here we go again. That’s all it feels like. Just one big circle. I was doing much better but it seems like it’s this endless rollercoaster. There was a time in my life where OCD didn’t exist. I used to be care free and (still have plenty of issues trying to resolve with therapy don’t get me wrong) but it wasn’t like this. I have met this person who is truly the love of my life. The support, love, and giving kind of relationship we have is unlike anything I’ve ever known or even thought truly existed… and I’m ruining it. Not only does this man congratulate my small wins with me with my contamination OCD but also tries to understand as much as he can just so he can support and be there for me better. Somehow, someway I have now developed another form or encountered a for of ROCD. I’m acknowledging another form of something I do desperately need to conquer snd remove from my life. I feel so defeated and depressed to the point I really don’t see the point anymore. I have a great man who deserves none of this headache to begin with.. this is my battle not his and yet he has taken on thsi and willingly no less. I have always been confident. There should be no reason for insecurities in myself or us. But they are here, right now. Could it be a normal fix? Can it be something worked on.. if so, what does the ERP look like? I want to get better for me… but for him and my family as well. I’m tired of being this way, this person who has so many issues that never end, never stop. I try really hard to control my emotions and thoughts and it’s exhausting. I’m just tired and done with my own self and I either need advice and hope or I just don’t know what I’ll be able to handle anymore
I been always have depression since a kid growing up I used to mask it and it was one time my brain believed and I overcame depression but it keep coming back through the years don’t matter how positive I think or what I do my husband of 10 years told me last night I always been negative and depressed he never seen me happy and it broke my heart because I m really trying to fight this and is so hard no to listen to my negative thoughts :( I blame my self for no being strong enough to fight this I feel sad that my husband see this negative person I m scared I won’t overcome this is making me cry
