My husband has been diagnosed with Pure O and manages it great. Very proud of him. However, some nights when he is alone with our baby daughter his thoughts gets really really bad and can’t hold her (needs a break).
My question is, how do we manage if I’m away when it happens? And how can I help and support him the best?
He is such an amazing fighter but my heart breaks when I see him struggle and. Drained from fighting the battles every day..
Well, you can talk to someone about your worries and maybe include him in the discussion. Has he gotten help for it? Or have someone he can talk to about it? If not, you should find someone talking and find skills to overcome it really help, but specifics, I have never really handle pure-O before so I don't know.m Hopefully there is someone here that has more experience on that.
As someone who has pure O, I do sympathize with you and your husband. I know it's a struggle, he probably feels robbed out of life because I'm sure all he wants more is to hold his child without being triggered. I say the best thing he can do although expensive b cause not covered by most insurance is to try exposure and response therapy and cognitive behavior therapy. I also recommend a doctor his name is doctor d'adamo he is my current natural doctor I did a genoinsight/gut exam both in order exam to understand my body as a whole and how I can help it better when it comes to cortisol levels, imbalances in gut, imbalances In brain levels etc.
How can I educate myself on OCD & overcoming it without it becoming a compulsion?
Is there any pill I can take to stop my OCD in my mind?
I do not know if my life has hope(see details I post in comment)
