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 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.

I feel like this is it
I had a bad rumination spiral yesterday and went to bed hoping I’d start over in the morning. I was wrong. I had dreams about liking women and not being attracted to men anymore and my entire body has been in a state of anxiety since. I genuinely feel like I’m gay and just need to accept it. I have this urge to accept it. Maybe if I do I’ll get some sort of relief because this feeling is awful. I feel like my brain is telling me that I’ll get relief if I just accept it and come out. The intrusive thoughts don’t even seem to be around sexual images anymore, just to come out.

I feel like it’s getting worse
I feel like the thoughts and feelings are getting stronger, to the point where they feel like they are my own and that I want them and want them to happen. Recently I’ve even had feelings of ‘wanting to be gay’ and that I ‘don’t want to be straight’, or that being with a woman would be nice even though that’s literally the one thing I don’t want otherwise I wouldn’t be constantly thinking about it day after day surely and if I wanted it I would just know? I feel numb and sick and terrified that I’ll just be what I’ve feared all this time. Why does my brain do this. I feel like I’ve lost so much already, I couldn’t concentrate on university work and I’ve had to delay my degree for a year, I’ve lost my purpose, and I feel so ashamed that I can’t tell anyone the real reason for it (I just told everyone the course was too much stress and was causing me anxiety) and it just feels like it’s getting worse to the point that it’s actually coming true, and I’m going to have to leave my boyfriend because I can’t be with him anymore. Why do the thoughts sometimes feel good? Why does it feel like real attraction? Why why why does it feel like DISAPPOINTMENT with the idea of never being with a woman wtf this is literally what I don’t want and never have? Even just writing that out my brain is telling me ‘it is’ and ‘I’m lying’ and I just can’t even believe myself anymore. I’ve tried telling myself the whole maybe maybe not but it just doesn’t work. It feels like if I accept I like woman I’ll want to be with one and leave him. Why does the idea of being with a man not fill me with excitement like it used to why do labels terrify me I genuinely just want to give up I still haven’t even told anyone about this cause I just feel like they won’t understand and that they will just think I’m struggling with my sexuality and the worst thing is I don’t even know what I want anymore cause of the thoughts and feelings I don’t know what to believe what if I am actually just struggling with my sexuality cause nothing feels right anymore
