Hi Kaheath 80 thanks for your reply. Yes I have both I’m exhausted with it all. I’m struggling without my regular routines & all the added worries. Do you have any coping strategies? Thanks again, Tim

Hi Gemma, thanks for your reply. I have bits of both ocd & ocpd. I’d say I have a bit more of the ocpd than ocd. Thanks for your advice I think I’m going to leave it for a while before I tell any more close family. I’m currently doing some cbt over the phone with my therapist so I might wait until after that. It feels like to much pressure atm. Im struggling more than usual lately. I’m finding therapy hard to get used to. I find it difficult to talk about everything after trying to hide it for so long. Plus with everything that’s going on. I’m hoping that one day I’ll feel better. Thanks again for taking your time to reply I really appreciate it. Tim.

Hi everyone, I hope your all good. I have been recently told by my therapist that I have OCPD. It came as a bit of a relief to be honest. I’ve really been struggling with unwanted thoughts & habits for such a long time. I told my wife & best friend about OCDP & about the thoughts ect as it had been making depressed & anxious. They were great. It really help lift some of the weight from my shoulders as I’ve been trying to hide it from everyone for so long which is exhausting. I feel like I should tell my close family as well but I’m worried about the judgement & lack of understanding. Does anyone have any experience with this? Thank you, Tim.
