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.

Hi Maven, i'm new here but saw your thread. Though my relationship experience is quite limited, I did for a period with my ex feel lonely in the relationship, like they were not really there even though your on the couch right next to each other. In terms of connecting with others, have you always had difficulty?
I do feel out that even engaging online with people is connecting.
