ocd sufferers living together

Hi there Im in my early 20's and I've had ocd for the last couple of years now it's continuing to get worse and worse to the point where I struggle to get along and interact with the people even closest to me. I'm sure I'm not the only one to experience this and was wondering if anyone else has ever thought of what it would be like to live with another person with the same or similar condition to you. I tend to think it could solve a lot of problems and possibly cancel them out alltogether. Just wondering if anyone else has also thought of or tried this before.

From personal experience, I find that it didn't work. Basically, once my girlfriend lived with me for a period, my ways were so extreme, and she wanted so much for me to be happy, I pretty much turned her OCD. And nothing good really comes of it. I was still miserable and she wasn't doing much better. In short, instead of one person being miserable from that condition, it's two. Good idea but unfortunately not much of an improvement. But who knows...it could work for you. Just my 2 cents.

You can give it a try if you feel that you're ready for it internally. Do you know anyone else with similar OCD to yours?
