I'll say this again....do NOT give in to OCD. If u end your relationship it will find something else to latch onto and torture you with. And you will have ended your relationship for...what? I kno that it may "feel" right and you think you will be free of whatever mindless chatter OCD is coming at you with, but trust me, it will not end. Itll just move on to something else and once again, here we go. If you let it, OCD will ruin your life but we must NOT allow that. I know the anxiety sucks, believe me I been there. But do not listen to what it says. It is a BS talker and that's the only way you must regard the threats it faces you with.

Before you make any quick decisions: you need to think about the actual relationship instead of just the ocd. Does he love you? Do you love him? Think about the good times with him. Think about the not so good times with him. Do you communicate in a healthy way? OCD can find awful ways to try to ruin your life. Once one part is ruined, it loves to the next. I’m not trying to sway you to not break up with him because I don’t know you all or the whole story, but I just want to make sure that whatever you decide is your own decision and not one that ocd makes. Communication with your boyfriend about your ocd is so important. I’m in a relationship currently as well and my girlfriend is very supportive. Through healthy communication we learned about each other. She struggles with anxiety and post traumatic stress disorder. It can be hard sometimes because we could be having a fun little day and then she bumps her head on something and she completely shuts down and thinks that someone is hurting her. It can be very challenging sometimes but I’ve learned what to do when things like that happen to her and she knows what to do if I have an ocd episode. She’s very caring and we couldn’t be happier. I don’t want you to miss out on a loving relationship. When it comes down to it, it’s your decision but like I said, make sure it’s your decision and not one made because of ocd! Much love

i feel so bad about this i cant stop
Lately, I’ve been struggling with feelings that I might be sabotaging myself in my relationship. By sabotage, I mean that I find it hard to stop engaging in compulsions, like seeking reassurance or overanalyzing my thoughts. I also sometimes behave badly with my boyfriend, and the intrusive thoughts I have can completely change my mood. I love my boyfriend—he’s such a good, beautiful, and wonderful person—but I’m afraid these thoughts are going to ruin things. I truly want to love him, but I’m scared. I know the thoughts are anxiety-driven, but they still make me question if I’m forcing myself to stay with him. Today, for example, I felt okay earlier, but when he called me on video, I suddenly felt like I didn’t feel anything, and I started thinking I don’t like how he looks. These thoughts hit me like a wave, and I panicked. Usually, I find him very attractive, but when these thoughts come, I feel sad and disconnected. What’s confusing is that I also have many moments—like today and in the past few days—where I’ve felt really good and I’ve felt love for him. I feel awful writing this because my boyfriend doesn’t deserve this, and I feel like I’m posting out of habit. It makes me scared that I don’t want to accept the truth, even though I know I care about him. I hate feeling this way because it feels like I’m betraying him by having these thoughts and posting them. Has anyone else dealt with these feelings of sabotaging their relationship or feeling like they’re forcing themselves to stay? How do you cope when the thoughts feel like they’re true, and how do you work through the fear of letting go of anxiety

Freaking Out
