Catherine - thank you so much for your wonderful comments, I'm glad to see that you have gotten help for your OCD . I'll be honest with you it stinks that here in Asheville NC , that there aren't really any mental health sevices & the mental health services we do have suck , the one's that I have gone through to try to get some sort of help for Jeremy rejected him because of his insurence and it's inability to cover Jeremy's counseling and treatment & medication , that right there just infuriated me more , because I know if Jeremy's OCD is stressing me out and frustrating me, then I can imagine what it's doing to him mentally & emotionally . Stress is a very big trigger, and this yr Jeremy and I have both been through stressful things in our lives - we moved to a new apartment in January and right after the new yr we decided to start our family , we have yet to suceed with trying to concieve - Jeremy is a little worried that something is wrong because we've been trying for 7 months and nothing so far, but I just told him to not worry him self to death and that when ever god feels it's time it will happen- all the worrying comming from a man whom isn't the one taking the ovulation kits every month , lol any way - We are in the process of moving my mother out of the house that she has lived in for 30 yrs , so that right there is stressful , on top of all of that the last 4 months I've been going to through a bitter custdy battle over my 7 yr old son William whom is my child from a previous relationship and not relation to Jeremy - I've been in court battling my son's god mother and my very best friend of 20 something yrs who went to DSS and made up a lie stating that jeremy threw my son through a wall when he was 2 1/2 and molested him - to say the least jeremy and I have both been through the ringer with DSS and them picking our whole lives apart - so that right there just increases the stress , there for increases Jeremy's OCD and triggers his rituals - another big tigger for Jeremy is certain family members trigger Jeremy's OCD big time . I guess the fact that I've been with Jeremy for 8 yrs ( will be our 8 yr annoversery Sept 28th ( , I guess the fact that I'm still with him after 8 yrs says something.
