Being Present

0 Replies

My OCD has complicated my marriage very much. She complains that I’m often not present. I’ve had a lot of different forms of OCD. Contamination OCD, compulsive checking, Fears of pedofile concerns, homosexuality, etc. Presently I have OCD about complete order with objects = symmetry and obsessive, obtrusive obsessive thoughts. Does anyone have this problem of being present with loved ones, and do you have any ideas to treat these things?
