Hey if it helps at all, my wife suffers from OCD and I have PTSD from military service. I joined this app to better understand OCD and how to help her when it gets rough. We've been together for almost 4 years now and there's up and downs but we help each other. You can absolutely be in a loving relationship, just gotta find someone you trust as well as feel comfortable talking with. Best of luck?

Hey there! I have OCD and my partner doesn’t. Hes become such a great support system for me. We have a lot of open conversations about what I need from him and what I don’t need from him (reassurance) when I’m in a bad OCD headspace. I talk a lot about what kind of things I’m doing in therapy and he learns so much from that. My best advice is to just be open about it and let them ask questions.

People with the same mental illness can find love with eachother, people with different mental illnesses can, and even one with a mental illness like OCD and one without! I’ve been dating my boyfriend for 3.5 years and he doesn’t have OCD but I obviously do. But he’s SO supportive and helpful and loves me through it and does literally everything and anything he can to help. He holds me when I’m having a mental breakdown and researches things and does so much. He’s so patient, especially considering most of my OCD attacks my thoughts and feelings about him. He doesn’t get mad at me, he just loves me through it

Will I ever be in a relationship that I don't ruin
I ruin every single relationship that I'm in with my OCD I admit every single thing I do even when it really isn't a big deal ,if I don't admit I feel unbearable anxiety and I don't know what to do about it , I'm always on edge worried I've done something wrong always searching my mind and actions for a slip up it's exhausting I keep spiralling wondering if I will ever actually be with someone and be able to have a happy and healthy relationship Please tell me I'm not alone I don't know what else to do

Dating someone with worse OCD
I’ve struggled a lot with mental illness (severe social anxiety, depression, OCD), but have done a lot of work to get to the great place that I’m at now. I feel like a different person compared to how I felt a few years ago. Here’s my question: I started seeing someone really important to me. We’re not official yet, but we’ve been in each others lives for years and it feels like it’s the real deal. He struggles with OCD, and it’s much worse than mine ever was. My question is, do you think this is healthy for me, as someone who has done the work to get to a better place? He’s not in therapy, he’s against medication (I love my meds — they changed my life), and is generally in a different place than I am mentally.

Comorbidities
Hi guys, This is my first post on here, as I’ve been scared to be vulnerable in this way. I’ve had a lifelong journey of mental health, diagnosed with a myriad of things, and misdiagnosed with others. When I got diagnosed with OCD, things started to click and treatment has been going well. There’s still a disconnect, things I do that are different than others and aren’t compulsion or obsession related. The reason I’m posting is to ask if anyone has been diagnosed with OCD/Autism and how you navigated that comorbidity. Thank you to anyone who shares
