I do not understand OCD because I don't have it. While I like to be fairly tidy, I'm not obsessed with it. I can stand to have white socks and black socks In the same drawer. I can stand to have a pretty clean house but to have a few things awry. I don't freak out if there is a little dust on something

Anyway, I dated a guy one time that sort of had it. It drove me absolutely nuts. It was constant worrying and cleaning and freaking out and getting absolutely red faced if even the slightest thing was going wrong. That relationship went sour b/c I couldn't deal with it.

For those who have OCD, I know it's no picnic judging from my previous encounter, how do you deal with it? Do you take medications/go to therapy? And for those who are in a relationship or have someone close to them like a family member or a good friend with OCD, how does that affect your relationships? And how do you deal with it?

I'm just curious. It seems like something impossible to deal with unless you are both OCD.
