Dear Indebt:

One thing that concerns me is your sources of information regarding “Pure O”- like I wrote to you, it is not a medical term, so I question the info sources on “pure O”.

To read more accurate information, perhaps look at government sponsored sites on OCD.

I suffered and was diagnosed with OCD. Your husband is afraid that his thoughts indicate that he is a bad person, and that his thoughts might somehow cause the bad things he thinks about and imagines to happen in real life.

Problem is that a very small percentage of people who suffer from OCD do act on their thoughts, a very small percentage, but he may be one of those people. I suggest you make an appointment with a medical doctor, talk to the doctor personally about your concerns, and have your husband see that same doctor individually, then see that same doctor with your husband.

I will be away from the computer for a few hours. If you post again by the time I return, we can continue the conversation.
