Hi Guys I’m wondering if I find a person will he accept my ocd and weird behaviours or is it too hard. How it works in your relationships? Is it possible to find love while having OCD?

I worry about this myself too. I also worry if they can accept me for all my past mistakes. One time a friend of mine told me that if someone loves you, they will accept you no matter who you are cause they will see the best in you. The light in all that darkness. They will give you a shoulder to lean on and youll grow. You’d do the same for them. Im not giving you reassurance, Im just telling you what someone taught me.

I have had OCD since I was a kid. It reared its ugly head while I was dating my husband. Neither of us knew at the time that it was OCD; we just thought it was anxiety. It was horrible. It was focused on whether I was doing the right thing by being with him (sort of an offshoot of scrupulosity OCD). But my husband stuck with me through it. And we are now married 4 years with a toddler. And then after I gave birth my OCD got triggered so severely again, and I’ve been working on it for the last year and a half. He’s still here with me. In all of this we actually ended up discovering that he has OCD too, though neither of us knew it - maybe that’s why he took it so well? Point is, neither of us knew I had OCD, we just knew I had severe obsessive anxiety and he stuck with me anyway. It’s absolutely possible to find love with OCD.

I have a whole host of mental illnesss and I’m engaged to a great man. He also has OCD but it’s not as bad as mine. He really balances me out and I’m grateful for him and his care but I didn’t get together with him until I was 25. So kind of a late bloomer.

It’s completely possible. I’ve been suffering from R-OCD for 3 months now and It’s been horrendous to say the least however my boyfriend is the most loving, helpful person. If they love you they will see past it and support you. If they are in love with you they will be willing to stick by you whatever happens.

Some people will reject an individual with a disorder, but others will be empathetic and see past the disorder. IMHO, we are pretty cool folks ;-)

Thank u Guys for supportive comments my hope grows 🫀
