My Christian boyfriend and I fight alot because of my ocd. Everytime he sees me on this app he doesn't like me helping people out with the same stuff I'm going through. He thinks ocd is a joke when it's really not. it breaks my heart because he says he wants to be a pastor but how can he be one when he doesn't seem to be considerate of the mentally ill people when I'm one of them too? He claims he loves me but I'm beginning to realize he obviously doesnt. I'm sick of getting into the wrong relationships. That's one of my ocd consequences. It's ironic because whenever he gets depressed I'm there for him but whenever I'm in anxiety mode he gets annoyed. Not fair. Not fair..

Not fair at all! You don’t need unhelpful people in your life right now ❤️

if you don’t have someone who wants to understand what you’re going through, i hate to say it but he’s probably not worth it

I’m going to be straight up with you and this is gonna hurt but break up with him. I had a boyfriend who broke up with me and said I need to get control of my mind. We don’t need that negativity in our lives

We already struggle enough as it is, the least our significant other can do is try to understand

I agree with you. I might as well do it ? @Smiley guess I'm always gonna be alone then without a partner. No one understands

Not true, well I’m single but I have very close male friends that I’m open about it with, and you’d be surprised at how many men out there actually very compassionate about it and want to help you feel better. All of them say if I need someone to listen they’re there or if I want to go out and take my mind off of it they’re available. Etc. People understand. That’s why I have little sympathy for those who choose not to understand

this app is for your recovery. the thing a lot of people don’t understand is that they want you to get better and at the same time don’t even stand by medication, get tired of your therapy appointments and etc

^ which is so stupid and it doesn’t make sense

I was thinking the same as much as I hate to admit it @Bookworm thing is I'm not even on meds and don't plan to be. I don't go to with a therapist either. I just to but long before he came into my life. So i see no reason on how my ocd should be a burden to him. Guess he just doesn't like me constantly talking about it or compulsing by nagging at em accusing em of things he doesn't do probably

You need to be straight forward with him

@Understoods about what exactly?

@LaPink i mean. Majority of the time he shows me he does love me but not in the ocd aspect of my life. And idk. We clash too much spiritually now too and it wasn't like that just a few months ago. Everything changed after I got baptized in late May. I became jealous agressive and naggy. Oh and the ocd relapsed. All we do is fight now majority of the time.

@LaPink I understand ?. Right now we are doing well so I'm a little less stressed about i pray to God it stays this way. Thank you though love ya too ?
