I have OCD, i have had it for as long as I can remember, other than my GP and my husband (and on here) I have never spoken about it.
It has only been in the last few months that I have began to get myself some help, I have never told anyone before then so have been 'dealing' with it on my own.
I still don't talk about it alot and my DH doesn't talk or ask me about it, but I suspect that is because he doesn't really understand it IYSWIM.
My councelling starts next week.
What I would like to know is;
- What is it like to live with someone who has OCD.
- Did you know something was wrong before your partner spoke to you about it.
- Do you understand it?
- Does it come between you both?
DH told me last night to just stop doing it, so I know he doesn't understand it.
I would like to see it from his POV so that I can help him to understand it and understand how he feels and hopefuly make him more sympathetic towards me IYSWIM.
