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 donāt try to solve it. For example, āwhat if heās not the one for me because I would prefer someone who takes care of things right away to keep my anxiety downā, or āwhat if I will always have anxiety in our relationship and weāll need to break up eventuallyā. Or you might be obsessing about obsessing (happens to me a lot)⦠āwhat if these thoughts never go away, what if I have anxiety forever.ā In these cases I try to accept the possibility by making it a āmaybeā statement and feel the anxiety. āMaybe Iāll always have this anxiety around him and weāll need to break up. Maybe not.ā I hope this helps even a little bit! š

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!

My husband suffers from SEVERE ADHD and he claims that he āforgetsā whenever I ask him to do something like clean up after himself or pick up his clothes off the floor. But itās everyday now and weāve been together for a year going on 2. We also have a 5 month old and I feel like Iām going crazy worrying about my mental health and taking care of the baby AND still having to come home and worry about him. At this point Iām done telling him anything as he sees anything I say as me āattackingā him rather than me just telling him why Iām upset and that this is now affecting my happiness in this relationship. I no longer feel close or want closeness. Iāve also mentioned this to him and he doesnāt take me seriously. āAll this, only because I donāt pick up after myself.ā I get stressed very easily over the smallest things. I donāt know if Iām at fault and need to seek help for getting mad over small things or if heās just not mature enough to own up and be responsible for himself(heās younger than me). Am I overreacting? Iām just a very clean person and canāt stand that heās a āIāll clean it laterā type of person and forgets. I just donāt feel Iām getting the support of a mature spouse. I want to lean on him and feel like I canāt do that. Like I have to everything myself. Does anyone else feel like this? PLEASE HELP. Iām reaching my limit and feel like I need to break things off.

One of my OCD problems is driving. I know that if i have to drive somewhere ill get anxiety and have my compulsions i have to do. Tonight i asked my partner if he would come with me to do a few errands that would involve alot of driving (for me, 3-4total short trips) and the thought is exhausting within itself. When i asked him he said he didnāt want to do it and didnt want to drive me around every were. He said he feels like hes been having to hold me hand through a-lot and heās been running the ship alot for a while and he said i do help sometimes but he wants me to do things for myself. I do plenty of things for myself, and he does make me meals happily and without me asking him to. And if we have to go somewhere he will drive by default almost. But it made me mad that he was acting like he was my lord and savior and im this helpless little girl when im not. My friend helped me find a psychiatrist and my psych referred me to NOCD. He didnt do any of that. And he tried to act like he played a role. Anyways am i being dramatic and heās setting boundaries or is he kind of being a jerk?
