My dh has been diagnosed with ocd (intrusive thoughts) and has depressive episodes. Certain things seem to trigger it. It happens maybe once a year. He has been taking fluoxetine for about 6 days now, plus olanzapine. He has counciling every week.

I just feel really helpless and emotional. He keeps saying sorry to me. I've assured him I am here for him and as long as it takes. Lots of cuddles etc.

We have a 3 year old dd, 7 month old DS and just found out we are expecting baby 3 in sept.

I'm sure my pregnancy hormones are making things worse. Today the dr is giving him diazepam also. which has made me really emotional. Is he just going to be totally zoned out all the time? It's making me feel lonely.

I am a pretty strong person and can hold the family together until he can find his way through this. I dont know.. think I just needed a vent x
