I am 27 years old and i live in Bulgariam, i managed to develop my own business and finish the university but i got severe OCD - obsesive compulsive disorder, over the way my situation got worse, also started to develop alcocholic adictation... now i am a father and a housband but its like my ocd ruins everything from me, last night a guy hit me in the face becouse he was drunk and i feel bad about the whole situation, he said he is sorry and even kissed my hand lol, yet i feel insecure now and my ocd makes the situation worse.

You did not ask for ocd, and yet you've succeeded and lived a life you can be proud of despite facing the obsessive behaviors/emotions which are daily in your life, beyond your power to control at this time.
I can only offer to you a wish of compassion towards yourself. I hope there will be a way through medication, therapy and the people in your life and on DS who will bring you strength.
After an 8 year span of running a business of my own, I have often wondered if it is possible to start a business without the help of at least some OCD. It takes a very high level of focused attention to get a business going and even more to keep it going. Just wondering, alongside quite a few of my entrepreneurial cohorts. Dunno. . . The greater certainty is that the combined pressures of business, parenthood and marriage aggravated my PTSD symptoms to crisis level.
Welcome to DS, Neve. Hope you find healing companionship here.
i'm so sorry you are struggling with OCD...i live with severe OCD as well and know how debilitating it can be...
Much support.
Alcohol may seem to calm you for the moment however the withdrawal/hangover will had more anxiety and the drunk behaviour will add a lot of problems to your life
AA is free and all over the world if you'd want to consider it........ There is a lot of help for you..... Gentle hug
I'm glad you've found us.... This is a good place.... There is also a good anxiety board on here that discusses OCD
