Wish I had someone to talk to. My husband is so frustrated with my contamination ocd. He is always telling me to leave him and my son and go away for good, so he doesn't have to deal with me. Mu son is my life and my husband is actually telling me to leave because of my condition. The other day he even told me to go back to sleep and never wake up. :(

I’m so sorry you’re going through that. A real man should never treat a woman that way:( Have you told anybody?

Sorry for what you’re experiencing. I also have contamination OCD. I had "friends", when my OCD was bad, who would poke fun at me because of my OCD. Very painful and embarrassing. My family didn’t understand, either. Fortunately, I found other friends in the ensuing years and an understanding wife. I hope you find the same, eventually. Take care.

I have it seems like all my family and friends turned their backs on me. I guess I wore everyone with my problems. I know it is not easy to deal with a family memeber with contamination ocd but he has no compassion and says the most hateful things. I am all alone. All those who said that they would stand by me seem to ignore me now. How do I go on? I want to get better for my son but have no family or friend emotional support.

He says that no other man would put up with what he does. :( all I am guilty of is being overprotective of germs and fear for my familu

Thank you.

I know I have been trying to start therapy but just moved and haven't been able to start until we get settled so I can start and focus on therapy. (Been through 4 therapist to no avail) My husband is emotionally abusive and does and says means things to trigger my contamination OCD. I just don't know where to turn in the meantime before therapy starts. It is not something suitable to call 911 over, but with someone who had severe contamination ocd it is very hard to deal with in the moment and I have nobody to turn to or talk towhen my husband does what he does to make me feel worse. On top of that he tells me things like "go to sleep and not wake up again" I am trying to heal myself of ocd, but can't into therapy as soon as a I want given our moving circumstance. I just needed to reach out to someone who is not telling me that he wishes I would die becauze he cant handle my ocd.
