Good ideas, Possum220. Couldn't hurt to ask. Meetup was suggested to me, too, but I haven't found anything of interest near me.

Hey, Laurie, I'm not married but I've been with my boyfriend for 23 years. It's really hard. I love my cats, too, even though I have a lot of OCD issues with them. I would volunteer, but my OCD is so bad, I don't like to physically touch other people. Also, I feel like I'd come off as a villain if they saw how I lived. I hate living in this mess, but my OCD got me into it and OCD is what's preventing me from getting out. My boyfriend is helping, but he's not around most of the time, so it takes a long time. And I've been sleeping all day the past four days and can't seem to get my hours straight again.

I don't think there is a NAMI Connection around me, but I'll see if I'm wrong.

Eyesclosed, I understand. It's really hard. I don't know what to do.
