Just calm down. This can be difficult to deal with. If you're seeing a therapist you should bring this up with them and figure out how your OCD manifests. Also sit down with your boyfriend and tell him you have OCD and talk to him about how it makes you feel. But its important that you don't do it for reassurance, do it to explain your feelings in relation to having OCD.

He knows everything. I feel like I’m just exhausting him and he’s not going to stick around. Either that or I’m going to feel like I have no other choice than to leave him and try being with a girl to end this madness.

I reached a poipoint where my life was falling apart because of my OCD. I went through therapy and made some progress but I still had difficulty. I decided to take an antidepressant as a last ditch effort and it worked for my to at least get through the day without falling apart. I take it every day and I think its saves my life.

I know how you feel. Something extremely similar recently happened to me. I still don’t know if I have rocd or not. But what always sucked about the cycles of separation is the grieving that would come afterwards. I’d ask myself why I was grieving if I felt like I had no feelings for him. But I also learned that if u know someone, even if u dislike them, there’s a chance you may still grieve for them when they’re gone. That may or may not apply to your situation, maybe you know deep down you do have feelings. I’d also have major anxiety because I felt I was leaving the best guy ever for me. But also had anxiety staying. It’s tough, I know...but through trial and error, you may come to a place where you’re not panicking.

There were many times I cried. Sleep, Homeopathy and essential oil blends have helped me maintain some level of stability.

Thank you for your input and your experience :) I’m just not sure what is going on. It’s so annoying because the guys I have been with before have sucked, lied, cheated, verbally and mentally abusive and even a little physical. He is nothing comparable even close to that. An actual man and not a little boy and so sweet to me and melts my heart. I just hate myself for having ocd about it. I know I love him and he’s so good for me especially since he is dealing with my hocd and all the shit that comes with it. He had been so supportive and patient and I so badly want it to be my hocd and just depression that is making me feel so numb to our relationship. I pray and pray that’s it. I just ache and hurt everyday. Unbearable :/ I don’t want to listen to my head, heart, or gut right now or make any decisions because I’m not right in the head right now with my ocd being so bad. I know I’m not myself and so I don’t want to listen to any part of me until I can see or think clearer

@Ocdandme123 What oils do you use and what mixtures of oils to help for what?

And also if you don’t mind explaining some things you use for your homeopathy

@Ocdandme123 I’ve used different brands but anything that says it helps with calm, balance, mood, or something like that. DoTerra has “Serenity,” “Balance,” and “Peace.” Contrary to what is being suggested here in terms of not doing anything to stop the anxiety so just keep that in mind.

@Ocdandme123 Homeopathy can be quite specific to the individual, and there are many different remedies so - especially if you’ve never tried homeopathy before - I highly encourage you to find a homeopathic practitioner or naturopathic practitioner specializing in mental health to help get the right remedy for you. OCD is chronic, and thus may take more expertise. Www.naturopathic.org > find a doctor. But yea don’t neglect the therapies mentioned here in NOCD either. And Bach Flower White Chestnut. I encourage you to look up what it does first before you decide whether or not you’ll try it. A naturopath may be able to help further with proper dosing. So far, these have helped with temporary relief...but that relief was worth it. Still on my own journey.

every one even my therapist is telling me that its not the end of the word if i dont live my bf of two years anymore, that we cant control what we feel and that i should not be so scared of this, that im lying to myself, this is what my family says, my therapust told me other things that pressed on to my fears, making them feel even more real. i cant do this i dont understand anything. My therapist told me that im not supposed to feel disgust when i talk to him when he is touching me, but i feel like this bc of what im thinking, im scared i cant accept the truth vecause i dont want to hurt him and that i put too many expectations on this relationship. Im scared all if this is real. Even my only friend, told me its ok if i dont love him, but its not ok, its not , no one understands.

I’m like 90% sure I’m just bi, more romantically inclined to men, mainly my bf who I wanna marry. But now my brain is like “if you lean into liking women or keep circling and circling for answers you’ll lose all attraction to men and your bf. You’re practically already a lesbian” I feel so tense and anxious I will admit I am talking to chat gpt out of desperation I’m scared of losing all attraction to him I don’t wanna be thinking about women. I don’t unless I’m really stressed cuz when I’m stressed my ocd can take advantage of that I can usually ground myself when I’m in the city with him but I’m back home for most of the summer and I can’t be physically close to him which usually reminds me that hey this is real this is what I really want in life. Him But then I panic and question I haven’t been here in a while tbh. I’m worried I don’t feel enough. I don’t like magic Mike all that much, I like softer guys. But now the fact I don’t like/get turned on by random men on tv but do women in lingerie really stresses me out and makes me worry I’m truly a lesbian but I’m not. Once I started getting to know my bf and my ex bf’s I really did truly genuinely like them and wanted to make out and everything. Idk can anyone relate to the not liking big buff men All my brain is repeating rn is “when he dies you’ll be able to date a woman, when you break up you’ll only wanna date women” and it’s stressing me out. It’s making me nauseous. I was doing well for about a couple days after I initially left but being at home has been so incredibly draining This might give you a vision of how stressful home is: I’ve been on nexplanon for 7 months ish? Only had very minimal spotting during a stressful school period. Today: fully bleeding, like a usual period. I haven’t had my period since having it put in. I wanna go back to my bf so badly rn. I’m so worried I’m faking or don’t feel enough. I’m learning what a healthy relationship looks like and I’m terrified I’m gonna up and leave him when we’re older cuz I’ll finally figure out that I’m a lesbian or smthn. Idk. Someone pls just help me out a tad
