Hey everyone, As you probably already knowing, I am talking to a new guy and his name is Jake. We are just friends right now but eventually we will probably be dating each other. Well...yesterday we were hanging out and Jake started acting very strange. We were in the library and he would be moving his hands alot and putting his hands on his face..and I asked him if he was ok and he said he was a little nausious. So we went outside and sat somewhere. Then some girl came up to us to interview us about our experience of man that had been shot on campus..and he started getting really nervous...so I only did it,and told her that he didn't want to. Also, Jake was getting very nervous as people would walk by us...and I eventually had to take his hand and tell him that everything was ok. From my little experience in Nursing and all, I have diagnosed him with Severe OCD(Obessive Compulsive Disorder). I cannot imagine having that because it is where you alter part of the brain is always active...so you are always scared something will either hurt you or someone you love. For example, Jake always walks me to the crosswalk at school because he told me that he is affraid something could happen to me. Also,when I was unpluggin my laptop in the library he told me later he was scared I would get shocked. I really want to help him because the only way to do it is to have someone that will comfort that person and reassure them everything is ok. So...eveyone,please pray for my friend Jake...and that God could help him or have a medicine made that could help him. I'm very worried for him right now..and pray about him all the time. He is becoming very dear to me...and I don't like how ppl make fun of him and say he is weird because of something he can't help. Thanks everyone...
Thomas, I'm praying for Jake. I hope you encourage him to see a doctor and get meds for that, if OCD is what he has. But just know that we are here for you!
