Hi Anita.

He is currently taking cymbalta, originally for back pain, but I’m not sure if it’s the right choice for his OCD.  It was prescribed by his GP and not a psychiatrist.  In the past I encouraged him to see a psychiatrist thinking perhaps it was not the right medication for him.

He is in therapy, but I do not attend sessions with him.  I am in therapy also, have been for years, but would like to see his therapist at least once.  I would think she would want to meet with me, but do understand he probably has a lot that he needs to talk about.

I have such a hard time wrapping my head around the fact that he wanted to be with me when he was 13 but was too shy to say anything, but now is/was with me, but jealousy of the past has ruined our future together.

I’ve been down a lot because we’re in limbo.  Him trying to work out his issues. Me not knowing when or if it’s time to move on.  We seemed perfect for each other.  We were happy to just be sitting next to each other on the sofa holding hands.  Just simple, easy things.  I wish I could break out of this sadness that has just taken over my world.
