Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.
My wife claims that I gave her ocd . She says because that I am not very handy this gave her great anixety causing her to come down with contamination ocd . I spend over 100$ a week in cleaning supplies for her .Can someone give someone ocd ?
is your wife seeing a pyschiatrist and a therapist?
is she on meds?
i know it is hard,but every time you buy those cleaning supplies,i feel you are giving in to her compulsion...although i know how hard it must be not to.
perhaps if you saw a therapist together,he/she could help you learn how to help your wife,instead of giving in to her compulsion.
i am so sorry for the struggle and pain ocd has brought to you your wife and yourself.
much peace to you and your wife...
