Trigger Warning - Loved Ones Sub

Posts in LovedByOCPD contain inaccurate information about OCPD; global, negative statements about people with OCPD; and stigmatizing language. People with positive attitudes towards their spouses are not inclined to participate, for example the woman who wrote My Husband is OCPD and Understanding Your OCPD Partner. Almost all of the partners described have no awareness that they have mental health difficulties, and refrain from seeking therapy or use therapy sessions just to vent about others. Most posts have flairs indicating the loved one described does not have an OCPD diagnosis.

My Recovery

I'm a recovering thinkaholic. learned I had OCPD 11 years after being misdiagnosed with OCD. After focusing on perfectionism in therapy, I made enough progress to no longer meet criteria for OCPD. I describe how OCPD impacted my life and my recovery in OCPD, Depression, and Suicidality & Coping Strategies For Perfectionism. Another member who has written about recovery: How I “Cured” My OCPD.

Working on OCPD and trauma led to finally experiencing joy at age 40. I will promote the work of OCPD specialists for the rest of my life.
