Heartblast i really feel for you if it wasnt for the support of my husband i very much doubt that i would be coping with the ocd at all. He has had 14 years of my suffering although at times whilst on medication i have periods of almost feeling like my oldself again. Unfortunately we moved house last year and into rented so i left my home of 22 years my friends and job. We have still not found anywhere to buy and it is really getting me down i am back on meds but i really do believe that the routine of going to work etc had a lot to do with me keeping on an even keel now i have no routine so my ocd is up in the air again.
If you dont mind me asking when were you diagnosed with ocd personality disorder? I know how much i have put my husband through but never has it been deliberate its just how it is with ocd. Neither of us can clearly remember how i was like before i got diagnosed with ocd but i would love to get back there some day. Meanwhile and i know this wont help you much but my husband i am sure will always stand by me. Is there anyone that could at least be there for you in a supporting role whilst you get on an even keel?
I too worried about my children as they were only six and four at the time but in a way having to live with me and the ocd it does seem well at least my daughter does seem to relate when i get certain thoughts i suppose its because she cant remember what i was like before ocd as she was very young for her me having ocd and my little outbursts is the norm for her as its really all she has ever known.
Have you perhaps got a friend who you could confide in? I dont think you mentioned whether you had triend medication or not so i was just wondering what the situation with that would be.
Please keep us informed on how you are doing, people on this forum do care for one another as we all know what a struggle ocd can be so please keep posting and share with us how you feel i am sure others will post as well.
Take care
