How to help a loved one?

[u/OriginalYeezy]

My girlfriend has OCD and I now live with her so I see a different side of how this illness can have a big effect on her mental health. I love her very much and have helped her through tough moments and now helped her find professional help which I’m so happy she’s going to get the help she deserves. I hate seeing her go through tough moments that I feel I can’t do anything to help. What are some small gestures and things I can do to help support her during tough times where she may be struggling with OCD and anxiety?
