having a partner with OCD

[ox2Participant]

My partner has OCD and I struggle with my own mental health issues, but I try really hard to help him manage it. But it’s so hard because when the OCD is exhausting for us as partners and no one knows what we’re going through. Can someone tell me what to do to make me feel less alone and understand OCD?
