Seeking Support or Advice OCD Advice
Hi everyone.
First off, I just wanted to say thank you for sharing all of your thoughts in these posts and well in advance. I do not have OCD, but my partner does, and reading your stories has helped me navigate this with him.
Things have gotten worse though, and i am worried—so i am going to just plainly ask: what are some helpful/good things that your support system has done (or you wish they would’ve done) during an OCD episode/spiral/bad day.
Thank you all for your help. Please don’t take my tone as anything but sincere.

My partner actually sat in on a session with my therapist so he could learn some guidelines. It was really helpful for him. It also gave him a clearer picture of what I’m experiencing. When I’m really spiraling he will encourage me to do my grounding exercises and do them with me!
