looking for help with my girlfriend’s ocd

haha, thank you for the kind words! she’s helped me through some dark times and i wanna make sure i do the same for her.

so a therapist that specializes in ocd, got it. that makes sense - i’ll do some research later and maybe bring up the idea to her. she’s quite reserved when it comes to her personal life, but i think she might be willing to give it a shot.

yeah, the reassurance part seems to be a tricky thing from what i’ve seen. that also makes sense, how a few days after me comforting her she’d pick a new topic to stress about. a never ending loop it seems! sounds like hell to have your own mind against you like that. and the last thing i wanna do is accidentally make her worse. i’ll have to think about how to approach that now, but i’ll definitely still be there for her in what ways that i can.

thank you for all the help - i’ll be sure to let her know she’s not alone, because she thinks she is. all the best to you!
