Can you send her flowers or a card... maybe that would be better than a text or phone call

I’m going to pick some up she drops our daughter off on Sunday and it sucks being told that my ocd is no excuse and it really isn’t but I didn’t know why my mind always took me to these places until a few days ago I’m 31 years old I’ve always been afraid to seek help because I thought that I was weak if I did but I needed to long ago and it hurts more that it took for her to leave for me to realize that I need this for me so I can be a better man but it’s sucks and my mind fills up with so much

I'm sure it will be fine How long have you been together. It's hard for those who don't have OCD to really understand, so they see it as a cop out. But that's really not the case. Maybe there's a book or website she can read. But, maybe she just needs so space to think too. Idk But I hope there's a resolution

We were together for 2.5 years and have a daughter together. I have sent her links to ocd and rocd and I have tried to explain in the past even before I understood what was wrong with me I tried to explain how I don’t mean for these things to happen but I didn’t truly realize how much my compulsions were taking ahold of me I didn’t know I was feeding a monster and was allowing it to live inside of me I’m doing what I can to get rid of it I want to be better not just for her but for me and our daughter so she can see her daddy be a better man everyday

No meds I quit smoking weed and and quit playing video games because they were part of my compulsions and it’s a little more stressful but I’m trying to force myself through because then my ocd demon will have nowhere to hide anymore and I have to feel every emotion and feeling and listen to every thought it is very hard to do but I’m forcing myself to do so in order to fix my brain I have a lot of willpower but my ocd has been fed a lot since I was 12 and I’m 31 finally getting help because I realize I need help it just took a very traumatic experience for me to realize I need to get back on top of my life

my girlfriend broke up with me over guilt and not wanting to hurt me because she can never be sure what she wants due to rocd. its terrible because im over here thinking that it obviously can be fixed because shes an angel and we love each other. she asked for no contact so we can move on because we’re attached to each other. tho, i really didn’t agree with her decision to break up and think it will not help at all. if not our relationship, then another. if no relationship, then ocd will latch on something else. i have ocd, i know how hard it was and is and will be in the future. i understand her, she understands me. i dont want to seem annoying and pushy for fighting for it when she asked to stop talking. i dont really know what to do, i just want her back.

I have been battling ocd for over a year now and it likes to switch themes. Currently, it’s attacking my relationship with my girlfriend who I’ve been with since I was in high school over 10 years ago. It first began as an intense feeling that I have to leave or break up with her over dumb little things. Then it changed into a lot of guilt for having any thought about another girl. And the worse is feeling this intense guilt for past things I’ve done in the past while in this relationship. We were so young and I was teenager, but I often found myself watching porn, fantasizing about real other people in my life, and getting off to other girls that I may have known. When I was younger I didn’t think it was bad and that it was just a normal teen boy thing, but 10 years later I have so much guilt about it. And yes I’m with the same girl now. We’ve had our ups and downs, but I know I love this girl and I’m ready to propose to her soon. Anyway, these past mistakes I did when I was younger make me feel like a cheater and I can’t stop ruminating about it. I feel like I have to admit every detail and person I’ve ever had a bad thought about. I feel like if I propose to her and don’t tell her everything, that I’m a lair and didn’t give her the full picture. And the other day one of the girls I thought was hot when I was younger, came up in convo and I just went downhill. Now she knows I deal with OCD and she is very supportive, I’ve told her before that I did some bad things, but never all the details. And that’s all my brain keeps telling me to do. I have so much tightness in my chest and just want to be able to breathe again. But everyone says to not admit or it’ll reinforce the cycle, I’m just not sure how everyone else does that. And at the same time, maybe I am a cheater and just simply a bad person. Idk! I never cheated physically or anything like that, but my past mistakes feel like I did. But again I may just be a bad person! Please if anyone has advice or is dealing with similar things, I’d appreciate the help!

me and my girlfriend since we started dating we be only had one problem, and that is my fear of everything of losing her of her cheating, and it’s all caused by OCD. my texts are massive and i get worried i know i love her and she makes me calm i know i love her. we had a conversation yesterday and basically she said that she feels suffocated with my texts and my fears. she went on trip were she doesn’t have her phone. and yesterday i spent the entire day crying about her. my head is filled with intrusive thoughts. and last night i got so stressed that it seemed like the love went away or i couldn’t remember the love, but it’s impossible because i was crying about her yesterday. this struggle my relationship is having is making me so stressed. pls give me advice
