POCD
Has anyone ever had an accepting response when telling a partner? I don’t feel like I can be honest because I’m afraid they’ll leave me for being a monster or just never see me the same

Start by telling your partner that you have OCD without specifics. Maybe even send them an article that mentions POCD as one of the subtypes. I did this with my partner and she researched the subtypes. When I finally had the courage to tell her my subtypes I was so afraid of her reaction, but she was completely understanding and I’m sure it helped that she had researched beforehand.

After struggling for months I told my partner slowly about it. I didn’t get into detail but let him in little by little. He ended up researching about it and gaining an understanding. He already knew that I suffered from ocd

Ask them to read up on OCD for you. That way if they do have to approach you to ask about it they will have the facts at hand.

@NotSoNewb82 Maybe, I don’t know. Just tread carefully if you are doing this.
