Caring for OCD

Here's VeXXSie's Youtube channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/Vexxsie Check out part 1 here. https://youtu.be/Mx3lGXNBFfk I've finally given up trying to make relevant video content for these audio videos, so have some footage of Vexxsie and myself playing Left 4 Dead 2 together. Feel free to close your eyes / minimise the video; it won't detract from this video's message! This is one of those videos that I wish had been around before having to deal with it in real life. Caring for somebody with OCD isn't just physically or mentally draining. It saps you in every way you could imagine, from getting you to needlessly throw things away to making things take 20 times longer than they should do, only for you to throw it away at the end because she wasn't happy with how it was performed. You even prepare for it by delaying anything you do so that she has time to say something if it's wrong, but you'll STILL manage to do something wrong and it'll be too late to do anything about it. She'll repeatedly trail off mid-way through giving instructions and you'll be hanging there for several minutes mid-action, waiting for her to finish explaining. Even walking next to Vexxsie in the streets is a pain because you find her subtley pushing you off into oncoming pedestrians because she has to follow set paths to destinations. Caring for somebody with a mental illness eats away at you every second of the day with the sheer pointlessness of it, and yet you have to remain strong because if you snap or say something negative it immediately becomes 100 times worse again. This video should hopefully explain it in a way that I haven't found elsewhere online.
