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!

Does anyone else get like super irritated with their partner due to fixation? I get irritated that my partner can’t run well… or that he is not socially the same as some other men that I thought I would be with. We connect extremely well we hang out well he’s a wonderful guy he’s funny, but sometimes I just get irritated at mannerisms the way he talks etc. I feel HORRIBLE I’m afraid I don’t like him as much… this is horrendous for me

I always feel like i’m waiting for something. Like something is going to happen after I finish each task. Not always something horrible, sometimes it feels like I may be waiting for a reward. I’ll be at work all day and I’m just rushing through every. single. task. I’m rushing my bathroom breaks and my same 30 minute lunch but I get out at the same time each day. I rush to the lot and rush to get out of the lot and rush getting my things out. I know it’s anxiety but,,, sometimes I get so disappointed. What did I expect to happen,? I go home to my beautiful girlfriend in our cute little home everyday and I work to keep it all. Nothing is wrong with that and I’m happy but just,,, THATS what I was rushing all day for feeling like there was a gun held to my back,?? idk i cant explain ksksmdks
