If they won’t get help
What if your relative refuses to get treatment or even denies that they have OCD? This can be a very difficult situation and can produce feelings of hopelessness and anger in people close to suffer.
Sometimes you have no choice left but to carry on with your life while remaining reminding to suffer periodically to your work still willing to help, that you recognize they may feel shame and distress, and that they can get better from OCD once they decide to get treatment. Sometimes a person with OCD – or any other problem will not seek help until the hit rock bottom. Of course watching someone you love suffer when they can get help can be very difficult. In the meantime you in other friends or relatives should learn more about OCD and seek support to reduce your feelings of helplessness.
