My (30M) boyfriend struggles with his OCD every morning and I want to help him. How can I help him stay on schedule?

Hi Everyone,

I am dating my now boyfriend who is the most amazing guy ever and want to help him manage his intrusive thoughts.

Something he struggles with is his morning routine. I don’t live with him, so I’m not exactly sure what goes on but… he ends up late for work every morning no matter what time he wakes up at.

This morning is a great example. He told me that he’s been up until 6:30am yet, he’s just now getting to work at 8:33am (33 mins late).

I know for a fact he struggles with checking things over and over… but could that be all? I wonder sometimes if he just disassociates all together at moments?

I’m hoping to gain some clarity on this situation but also am seeking advice. How can he fight the thoughts he has that delay him? Does setting some kind of alarm schedule help times like this?

Thank you in advance for your support on this ♥️
