My boyfriend doesn’t know about my ocd, I’m not even diagnosed yet so that’s why I haven’t really told anyone what goes on in my head except my mom. I feel like I’m living a different life towards him, even though I’m just being me without my stupid thoughts. I feel like I’m lying and putting up an act. It makes me feel guilty, secretive and untrustworthy. Anyone else here that hasn’t told their s/o?

Yeah that’s why I’m also afraid to tell my boyfriend... he’s not so much insecure but he does analyze things as well and if I were to tell him I know he would get hurt, and that’s the last thing I want. I told him I have anxiety and that I feel depressed from time to time, so when saying I have anxiety I kind of included my ocd along with that, I’m not sure if I should tell him anything more yet.. I’m gonna speak with a psychologist that’s gonna give me a mental health evaluation soon and I he knows that, he’s very supportive as well, so I just think until then I shouldn’t tell him.. I’m not sure?

@Kea Remember, there is no urgency (in my opinion) to "confess" your partner that you have OCD. If you feel a sense of urgency, it can be something that is caused by feeling anxious. I am sure you can figure this out! ?

@emkala Yeah, I’ve realized when I do feel more anxious and my rocd kicks in I feel like a horrible girlfriend for not confessing to him what goes on in my head? I’ll tell him when I’m ready & get evaluated, thank you so much!☺️
