Partner questioning whether it’s ocd
I had a terrible day yesterday, basically had a breakdown after an extremely hard exposure. After my freak out episode I was talking to my fiancé about ways to help me and he basically said he doesn’t think erp is working and is questioning whether it’s even ocd I’m experiencing. A little background on us, I’ve had many ocd themes in my life but currently struggle with postpartum ocd and constantly worry about my sons development. My partner doesn’t see anything I see and has 0 concerns and he basically thinks I’m delusional and have postpartum psychosis. Which I 100% do not agree with, I don’t have hallucinations and though my reality can be somewhat distorted by anxiety I am very much present to my surroundings. Anyway the conversation was upsetting, I feel like he wasn’t validating my experience and does not understand me. The whole thing makes me want to withdrawal from everyone. Not sure where to go from here…
