Really urgent!
Hey everyone. Even though I’ve been an OCD sufferer for the last couple of years, this post isn’t aimed to address any specific symptoms. I’d rather enjoy your guys opinion on something. I got broken up with a couple of days ago. The relationship was pretty rocky but lasted for about two years. It’s difficult to explain but my OCD forced me to stay in this relationship. 1) He used my OCD symptoms in order to insult me. I am terribly afraid of being perceived as stupid. So he used that very word during quite a couple of fights. I also struggle with university, due to my mental health, and he told me that’ll never achieve anything. 2) He frequently told me how one of his female friends is nicer, better, smarter […] than me. 3) He harms himself, and accused me of being at fault for it. I apparently caused too much stress. 4) Whenever I tried to talk about the insults or asked for reassurance, I got labelled as overdramatic. He requested that I just forget about it, as I am at fault anyways. «He only insulted because I stressed him out». 5) He went on a skiing trip and injured himself. A few weeks later, he told me that I stressed him out and the incident happened because of this. 6) He called me manipulative, toxic and labelled me as a narcissist. 7) He frequently used the silent treatment, or blocked me. His actions were followed by telling me how he pities me and that’s the only reason he came back. I surely did some things that weren’t appropriate. One month in I told him that I just jokingly flirted with him (= we weren’t together yet). He was quite devastated and so I apologised immediately and tried to make up for it. I also acted clingy and asked for reassurance. Was this wrong? He told me that I am at fault for the breakup, and mentioned how he needs to teach me a lesson. So I learn how to treat people. He also mentioned that I deserved this treatment. Am I really as bad? Am I at fault? Did I deserve all of this? I am afraid to be a bad human being, a narcissist even.
