Welcome

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for taking the time to visit this blog. The reasons I have set it up are purely personal, but if it can help people along the way, then all the better.

So let me set my stall out straight away. If you had asked me 10 years ago what OCD was, I would have probably said that it was a type of TV or something equally wide off the mark!

Indeed ask me now and I would probably not be able to tell you what the parameters of OCD are or the best way to deal with it etc.

However, I do know the severe impact it has had on my wife and how that has then affected me, over the last 10 years and how I have tried to minimise its impact .

Indeed, this very blog is my latest attempt to relieve the pressure valve and provide a release for my frustations. It may also substitute for the other pressure release mechanism I have been relying on recently - alcohol.

So if you know of someone close to you who has OCD, then hopefully my ramblings will be of comfort to you so you know you are not alone. Indeed if you suffer from OCD yourself, you may find my experiences interesting as someone close to you may be feeling the things I am feeling.

Finally, there may be other OCD websites or blogs out there on the net and I am in no way trying to replace or copy them. Like I said at the top, this is me trying to cope, living with someone who has OCD, whilst not giving myself liver damage!

All the best.
