If in a relationship,does your partner know your on this forum


Recommended Posts

Yes, and i sometimes regret it.. cause now we are having a break.. and he knows my name in here, and its not all of my posts i want him to read..sometimes i feel i write my deepest thoughts and diary here, its kind of personal, and things i just want to discuss with others who have ocd, or knows ocd.. So my advice, its ok to tell your in the forum if you think he will support that.. (as i hope he does) But be anonyme.. is my advice

My wife would get annoyed if I spent too long one here; and she, and the forum users who told me this too, were right.

For me, it is best used as a search for help when needed, or a means to assist others in need, not as just another compulsion - and not to spend too much time consumed by thinking about the illness, giving it prominence from which we actually need to be breaking free.

Now I think I have the right balance, with the added lift of my own spirits by knowing, from positive feedback, that my input does make a real difference for others.

My wife doesn't wish for me to spend too long on the forum on OCD - I am pointing out to her that some of of the time I spend on here I use the non-OCD members' of OCD-UK forums, on a variety of pleasing, enjoyable subjects!.

My Mrs keeps a check to make sure I don't spend too much time on the support forum, since we know too much time thinking about the disorder is unhelpful to me personally. But she does support me seeking to help others.

She has just realised I can access here via this phone as well as the laptop. Shucks, the game is up - like being under surveillance ......

:D haha! I really hope he noticed then ;)

I think most partners would think its a good thing to spending some time on here.. (but you can use the forum in not healthy ways also I guess.. But if it helps you, or if you help others.. thumbs up :thumb up: ! )
