It is fine to breakdown. Especially to those who support you. That's healthy to let it out in my opinion. It can be frustrating to your partner but if you're together there has to be understanding from both of you. Of course it's hard on his side but it's hard on your side too. Communicate to help eachother. What if thisvwas cancer? It's be equally as hard. Trust yourself and do the best you can not knowing if he's the one.
I think saying be yourself can be confusing for us with ocd. I think we have to use erp and whatever other tools help to get to our true selves and not let intrusive thoughts define us.
Be compassionate with yourself. You're doing the best you can. And Anthomy is right. Embrace the uncertainty. There is no test you can take to make sure that he's the one. You just have to wait it out and see what happens. And that's really scary and uncomfortable, but all the billions of people before you didn't have any guarantees in their relationship either, and they turned out okay. And so will you.
I do know he’s the one. Well, I want him to be my one
I just don’t want to loose him bc of my OCD
I am freaking out with panic. It feels like I want to or have to hurt my boyfriend and it’s causing me to have the worst panic attack I’ve had in a while. It feels like I should be in a mental institution and all I want to do is cry. I know at a time like this I need to lean into the anxiety but I’m absolutely terrified. Please. Anyone. Words of wisdom or encouragement. It feels so different than normal and of course I’m so worried this is not OCD. how could it be? It’s so convincing and scary.
Hi guys, So my wife got mad at me today. She said all we ever talk about is my anxiety, and do not usually get to have regular conversations. Does anyone else have this problem with their wife/husband/partner? Right now my heart rate does feel comfortable, and readings to what I can view aren’t to my liking. My OCD had me doing a step just the right way type of thing, I was expecting a call from one of my bosses, and other than this have no idea what caused the anxiety. I seriously just give up anymore. I don’t feel strong enough anymore to go through my anxiety, OCD PTSD, and depression.
My relationship OCD has been bad lately I actually feel like it’s starting to cause problems in my relationship. I constantly think something bad is going to happen with the relationship or him. Like when he’s driving I’m terrified we’re going to get in a crash and him die and me have to be without him. I worry all the time he’s going to leave me. It’s an obsession. I find myself trying to be PERFECT and that’s just not possible. I feel like he’s constantly mad at me when he’s not. We have a good relationship. We have our moments but everyone does. I don’t have issues with him cheating but I always am TERRIFIED about it. I’m scared of him dying, or leaving me. Is this something common with OCD or is this something else?
