[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She seems to have on and off periods and it's really tiring having to deal with it.  We have two entire rooms full of her papers from 9th grade through college and all types of other possessions that [b]she does not need anymore.[/b] She does not like me rearranging/fixing anything in the house in case I might throw away something she still needs. She fixates on specific drinks and stocks the fridge up with that one drink for months and does not buy any other. She knows these are things she needs to get treatment for but she doesn't want too. We've had many arguments about this and she just gets angry really fast about everything on a day to day basis (throwing things at walls, damaging doors). It's truly ruining our marriage. I love her and see a future for us but not sure what to do next.[/quote]

She doesn't need them, but does she want them? I guarantee you have old crap you don't technically "need" either, but if you have the room to keep it, what's the problem? Similarly, fixating on specific drinks (or activities, or hobbies, or shows, or...) isn't a problem in and of itself.

Are you the problem? Are you the one making these things a problem? Maybe focus on solving the problem(s) you're responsible for instead of picking fights with her about how you think she needs to change is a more sustainable solution. [/quote]

Those are just examples of some ways her OCD manifests that I had right on the top of my head. I know she's struggling and needs help, so I want to help her.[/quote]
