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.
God I’m just so angry ocd makes me so angry!! And I feel like I just have such a short temper these days and I just get really angry inside or I cry. Anyone else like this? Anyone feel like one day they are just going to break. Ugh I hate this!!
Does anyone else fear getting so angry that you lose control? I fear this terribly. I’ve been having anger but I knows it’s just because I’m so tired of OCD and dealing with having it. But I fear I’m going to snap and I don’t want to. Please tell me I’m not alone in this. I have a very short patience span, I’m always tensed up and the tiniest thing can make me so angry. I just don’t understand this.
