Living with OCD isn't like having a constant bully. It more often sounds like a lawyer, ready to argue you into checking one more time or replaying a memory until you can finally feel settled with it.

Living with someone who has OCD can be a complicated dynamic to navigate. It could require you to learn a new set of rules that you are not fully aware of.

When living with OCD, you have probably come to realize that your days are not created equal. Some feel more manageable than others, where obsessive thoughts come, and you’re able to move through them.
