That’s OCD for you. I can so relate to being scared. And the hurt you feel. My ROCD loves to tangle itself into the normal uncertainty and anxiety of relationships. You got to breathe and do something else productive even while it hurts. This sucks. It’s freaking insane difficult. I have to do the same thing. Find some CBT activities you can do on accepting uncertainty. It sucks. It is hard. But it will help. There is no magic solution if you want to really get better. Hang in there.

Hang in there. The one thing about my OCD is that it lies and tricks me into believing my anxiety is going to ramp up until I lose my mind. But here I am. 40 something years down the road. ( And I didn’t have a clue what OCD was or that there was help for me until 5 months ago. I suffered with this shit blind most my life). But it does suck and it hurts my heart and emotions so bad when I just sit and do compulsions over and over. I do them in my mind. Every freakin what if in the dating universe. Every worst case scenario that my mind can imagine. Try to stop your doing your compulsions and focus on something else very positive. If you can’t, I’ve been there too. Your not alone. Be kind to yourself if you can’t do it this time. Or the next time. You will get better as long as you are looking for help and willing to do the hard work like you are now.

And remember too that relationships are one of the most uncertain things that all human beings, all 6 billion of us, have to go through. It is stressful and difficult for everyone. If it wasn’t, then the music industry and entertainment industry would basically be gone. Think about it. So give yourself some room there. And then our OCD makes it a lot worse. Look into therapy that is based on learning to tolerate uncertainty. That has helped me. And remember there is no magic solution. But you can get a whole lot better with hard work and the therapy. I have had some real good breakthroughs in the past few weeks and that was after some weeks of hell and hard work. So it can be done. Hang in there.

He could have just been busy or needed time to himself. Don’t assume the worst just yet. ?

That is very true.... stupid OCD can create problems that are literally not even there. One day I’m crying because I’m so afraid my boyfriend is going to leave me and then the next day I’m crying because I’m like does this mean I should leave him?? It’s so exhausting. The brain is difficult.

Yes it is.

Yep. Same thing happens to me sometimes. IF OCD can’t produce fears that they will leave, then it will switch to do you really like them. The OCD is just searching for your uncertainty and then blowing it up and distorting it.

for a few days now I’ve been super anxious about my relationship. I’ve been anxious about it before but lately it’s been worse than normal. I’m in a very healthy and loving relationship, I love my boyfriend so much and he treats me so so well. The only thing is that I’ve been having scary thoughts that what if I’m lying to him and don’t actually love him? What if I don’t find him attractive? And like what if the only way to stop being anxious is to break up with him? I don’t want to leave him and I am so scared. I feel like I’m lying to him by not telling him what’s going on because he might think I’m actually going to leave him, which I’m really not going to. I have had anxiety since before we started dating and incestual and sexual ocd, then I got into a point where I started having religious ocd, and now I have ROCD on top of that I think. I’ve never been diagnosed but I’m going to therapy and figuring things out but I’m so scared. Idk what to do and I feel like if I talk to anyone they’re going to say I have to leave him.

I broke up with my boyfriend today because of how bad my anxiety had gotten I couldn’t tell what was my heart and what was my head. I’m heartbroken because I feel like I lost my best friend and I truly do have love for him and want him in my future. I want to spend the rest of my life with him. We broke up because I’m not on medication for my anxiety and have a doctor’s appointment coming up on Wednesday to see about getting some. I still feel anxious after our breaks but I feel guilty to admit that I do feel better. I’m still just anxious in general a little and I don’t know why. We had decided to stay in touch but not on a daily or even weekly basis, just because there is no hate in our relationship just pure love. I’m just so scared and sad that I really will lose him and be all alone.
