Title: Does anyone have experience with BPD and OCD-Hyperseuality
Post by: Masang M on October 26, 2020, 08:15:58 AM
My husband has DID, BPD, PTSD and what we thought was a sex addiction. Both our therapists do not believe it is sex addiction but a form of OCD. He says he doesn't want to be this way and I believe him but the struggle is very real. His OCD is triggering to me as his current obsession is checking out other women in front of me. It may sound minor but it triggers family of origin stuff that I am working through.
If anyone has encountered this type of OCD did your bpd person get help? If so what kind?

Thanks!

That doesn't sound minor to me.  Validate your own feelings about this.

I wonder whether Sex and Love Addicts Anonymous (analog to AA for sex addiction) could help him; even if the root of this is OCD, I suspect it could be helpful.  But I am not a professional!

He is doing SA and SAA along with a sponsor, I am hoping to get some other therapy options. Maybe a cast still not sure he sees a therapist for his DID and BPD
