Hi Velvet

I’m doing OK sorry I haven’t been on the group chat last week I wasn’t feeling too well and last night I tried to get on but my broadband was playing up so slow It was doing my head in so I gave up. I’ve tried to keep myself busy and surprising enough it’s going quicker my husband is allowed to call me now which hearing his voice on a regular basis has actually taken a lot of the worry away he is finding it hard but he is taking each day as it comes and is trying to stay strong and positive. As for me well I try not to think about it too much and I’m trying not to think to far ahead and take each day as it comes. I have an assessment next month for CBT therapy for my OCD but until then I’m just trying to not worry about it or it makes it worse. In the next couple of weeks I’m going to start decorating our bedroom so that will definitely keep me busy we been meaning to do it for a while now I’ve had ideas and I have to do it on a low budget but that’s OK because it keeps me more busy looking for the deals and bargains. Hopefully I will be able to get on group chat next week.
Thanks for asking how am doing I really appreciate the kindness and support.
Maria.

Hi ya,
I totally understand what your saying I’m not one of these people that takes things to heart and emotional if it’s not what I want hear but sometimes I need to be told straight in fact it’s actually better for me having OCD for people just to be honest with me. In a couple of weeks I will probably not be as worried plus with my husband gone it has made me do something about my OCD I have gone to the doctor and he has referred me to get CBT therapy so hopefully by the time my husband has comes home I will be getting therapy myself.

Well it’s been 1 week since my husband has been in GMA therapy right now I don’t know how to explain how I feel it’s strange I’m not one of these women who cry everyday yeah I have had a cry and It actually made me feel better but I think it’s because I know he is somewhere safe doing something positive that I’m not worrying all the time if anything the only thing I am worrying about is what happens will someone call me to talk about what I should be doing and after next week how often can I talk to him can he call me do I have to call him I am definitely one of these people that have to know what’s happening it doesn’t help having OCD but I’m doing my best to be patient and keep myself busy and just stay positive.

Hi Velvet,
I’m OK thanks yesterday morning was bad I suffer from OCD and the reality of not have reassurance from my husband hit me and I got in a state but I got myself to the doctor and he was very understanding and has referred me to get proper therapy he said I need to use this time to get myself better, then out of blue my husband rung he could only speak for a couple of minutes cos he forgot his pin number for his card so they let him call supervised but hearing his voice made me feel better it’s strange really that in the moment I needed to hear his voice the phone rung so today I feel better I’ve been quite busy today so that helps I haven’t got any plans this weekend I will probably relax and pamper myself a bit with bath face mask etc.
Hope you have a nice weekend
Speak soon Maria.

So sorry about keep getting cut off in the F and F group internet not the best answer to your last question was my husband is 42 I’m 37. I would like to say the group really helped me and you gave me a lot to think about and made me realize a few things I will try to log onto the group every week.
Thanks for the support
Maria

Hi velvet,
Thank you for your message I really do appreciate it. My husband is in a GMA treatment center. It is nice to know that even though I feel alone I know I’m not it is strange him not being here but tonight will probably be the worst and I know the time apart will fly by and he is gone for a very good reason and I’m glad he is around people that understand the problem of CG and can help him to get that gamble free life I know he wants. I will come on to the F&F group tomorrow night I look forward to talking to others who know what I’m going thru.

Speak soon
Maria
P.S I do apologize for my grammar and spelling it’s not the best.
