I relate
This is a big one do me too! I try to use these moments as in vivo exposures. I try to identify my worry and then purposely don’t try to solve it. For example, “what if he’s not the one for me because I would prefer someone who takes care of things right away to keep my anxiety down”, or “what if I will always have anxiety in our relationship and we’ll need to break up eventually”. Or you might be obsessing about obsessing (happens to me a lot)… “what if these thoughts never go away, what if I have anxiety forever.” In these cases I try to accept the possibility by making it a “maybe” statement and feel the anxiety. “Maybe I’ll always have this anxiety around him and we’ll need to break up. Maybe not.” I hope this helps even a little bit! 💕
Well, let's say this is a 50% ocd! One thing is if you distress over something that your bf did, but not in the way you wanted. In that case he didn't nothing wrong and it is totally your ocd!! But if he says something and than he doesn't do it, if he can't maintain his own words, well I would be pretty mad too! In that case, he is the one that should work with himself! Personally I would find really difficult to trust someone like that!! But probably that isn't your case!
Yeah its more so not in the way i wanted. I know im being dramatic too but i cant calm down my anxiety and stuff even tho i kno its not a big deal.
My OCD is ruining my relationship. Well, not just my OCD. My fiancé/baby daddy is also an impatient know-it-all asshole. I cant stop obsessing over lots of different things (a lot of which include/affect him) and instead of understanding that I’m trying to fix myself, he just yells at me and puts me down. The other day he punched a hole in the wall and told me I was a bad girlfriend. I know I’m no ball of sunshine, but I still feel like I should be treated better.
does anyone else struggle not only being hard on themselves when they mess up or have bad thoughts but also being extremely critical and unforgiving of those closest to them? Sometimes I truly feel so disappointed at the people closest to me, and it feels justifiable but also exhausting and I can’t tell if my ocd is amplifying it/if it’s forgivable, or how angry/disappointed/for how long I’m supposed to feel. I struggle being mad at myself for not being a good enough person, but I think I struggle even more at the people around me not caring more about others, etc.
Does anyone get really irritated and angry at absolutely everything because of anxiety just wondering if it’s only me
