consider it done. I'll pray for you and your pray for me.

My H was on luvox and he always gave his family members a hard time because they have to take psy meds. (his mom, sister and brother, have OCD, PTSD, Manic Depression, and his brother is bipolar as well.) So he cannot accept that he is the same as they are. Since he gave them a hard time he can't imagine being guilty himself. That is his opinion.

My opinion is no one says when there a kid I want to grow up to have OCD. It has you and you deal the best you can. Taking madication for it is like taking medication for a heart condition, you need it, it doesn't make you flawed, you don't have to tell anyone if you don't want to, and quility of life is everything. So take your darn medicine.

The meds did help when he took them. Knowing that he would be reluctant to take them the Dr. gave him a very, very, low dosage. 25 mg of luvox. Generally by the end of 4 weeks you should be up to 200 mg. He quit at 50 mg. He just didn't want to take it. It was not that it had side affects or anything. That was just his choice.

My H has us pick dirty gravel out of the driveway, clean clear fly spit off the windows, we dust the globes on the lights as well as the light bulbs. He has a thing for these nasty stink bugs right now. We dump out the globes on the lights every other day. My house and car should be absolutely spotless. Towels hung a certin way, bed made a certin way, no stepping on the rugs in frount of the shower, (they will get wet) appliances pulledd out and cleaned under, and behind bi weekly. Clean slats on blinds individually bi weekly. He's nuts.

These things don't have to be done, they have to appear done. He often asks did you clean under the fridge today, or did you wash down the shower like I asked you. If I say yes as long as it is not really dirty (most of the time it's not) then he is good.

We see a T together and the T says the more out of control his enviorment is the more he seeks to contrlol what he can. Which is the things he can clean.
