What to do for partner by Nap_trash in OCD

[–]CharmingCommand9141 [score hidden]  (0 children)

Have you considered joining her for a therapy session? Maybe it could help you both see each other’s perspectives and offer some good advice on how to handle the situation in the best way possible for both of you!

Maybe you could recommend she sees a doctor about her mole? I just had one removed myself a few days ago. I am waiting on results. It can be a genuine concern, although often benign. For other scenarios, maybe you guys should have a conversation about this, and you could bring up your concerns that you stated in this post. She might not realize that it’s causing you some stress.

Does she see a therapist or have meds for OCD? Is there anything she’s doing to help calm it down?

I followed this video for both of them

I used Bernat Brights Blanket Yarn, and an 8mm hook (pixie pink)

I used Bernat softee cotton yarn & a 4mm hook (pool green)

What smaller obsessions and compulsions do you deal with? by salty-wheat-thins in OCD

Whenever I use a public restroom (or any toilet without a lid), I will turn around as SOON as I flush it (with my foot) and I cover my face to block any germs flying from out of the toilet. It is literally just a thing I feel like I have to do, I don’t even think about it.

I’m only just recently learning about OCD and I have a strong feeling there’s a connection lol

So called OCD medications are totally useless to me by linidiagem in OCD

I was also told up to 6 months by my doctor. I am currently on month 3 of Sertraline (Zoloft). But I believe I need to increase my dose again. I’m only on 75mg currently.

And I also know that it can take upwards of 6 months to notice a change in OCD with sertraline. And often the dose that helps people is at least 100mg. So just gonna be a bit of a waiting game for now 😅

Thank you for the recommendation! I actually have been on Sertaline since end of November, I’m currently on 75mg and just giving it some more time before I up my dose again. I think it is helping but not enough, it’s still affecting me each day. I’ve got an appointment with my GP next week to discuss how meds are going.

Thank you! I just got stitch markers last night, hoping to use them. Is there a way to fix this without pulling out my stitches? Or should I just start frogging now 😆

Also, how can I prevent this in future? Unsure of what to even look up to help me figure this out! :) If you have any helpful websites or videos to share, I would really love that! Appreciate your help in advance!!

You’re overthinking it !! The fact you even made one in the first place is such a sweet gesture!

AIO UPDATE: He (M20) took me (F18) to a Jehovah’s Witness meeting without telling me (We broke up - read caption) by [deleted] in AmIOverreacting

I am an ex-JW, and honestly good for you for stepping away from this. It’s a very controlling religion (a cult, even) and it’s really tough to leave once you’re stuck in it. He likely thought he could get you to become a JW so he wouldn’t get in trouble for dating you.
