After my flare up and realization I could have OCD, I lost the love of my freaking life of 3 years and a half. They felt like they could not be with me anymore because of my thoughts and they became the center of my obsessions. They have anxiety too and a weak heart so I really didn’t want to put them through a hard time so I had to let them go. It broke my heart. Until now, they’re still the center of it. It’s been like almost a month after the break up. We kind of fought and whenever things would calm down and be okay, it flares up again. Thing is, our ocd, or atleast mean attacks whats closest to my heart and for me, it’s my ex. God, I loved that person so much. I still do. So when things go great, it finds a way to sabotage it.

Yes, me and my boyfriend broke up and even though OCD wasn't the only reason, I wonder what would have been if I didn't have it. But then I'm telling myself, if he was the right person, he would have been more understanding and supportive...

Were your obsessions related to the friendship?

Yes my obsessions were related to the friendship, I had been obsessing that my friend was going to develop ocd and I would watch her life fall apart like mine had when this all started. I had feared it because her mom also has ocd so I was so scared it was going to be genetic and I constantly analyzed everything she said or did because I felt like it meant something more, a sign of her developing it and I had this horrible cycle of feeling like I had to prevent that bad thing from happening. We fought a lot but then she couldn’t take it anymore and we are no longer friends.

Do you ever feel like you wonder if your ocd would be less if you were with someone else? Or would it be better if you were with someone else? I’m really upset because I used to be able to enjoy myself even with the anxiety and now it’s like i am just analyzing and I don’t have feelings and I’m irritated because there’s things that frustrate me about him that I don’t like and my brain says if I was with someone else I would be able to deal with those things better and that we just aren’t right for each other. And the thoughts that used to make me anxious about breaking up don’t like it’s really me that feels it. I know no relationship is perfect but it’s like my brain keeps saying with someone else I wouldn’t feel like this or I would but I’d be able to handle it better. It feels like I have to just start fresh with someone new cause the ocd got too into this to the point where I don’t feel or even know what’s real. It feels like fear and anxiety and just being so into this has just made me feel not into this anymore but idk if I’m thinking right. It’s also just warped the way I see him like I only see the negatives and my brain keeps saying you don’t feel this cause it’s wrong. And it’s depressing bc of how happy and safe I used to feel. I’m supposed to see him soon and it’s like I want to but also don’t because I feel like things have changed unless that’s just something I made in my head and cause I don’t feel the feelings I used to. But then I think I will just be this way with someone else but then my brain says otherwise and it’s so confusing. People keep telling me not to make decisions because I’m fogged but it feels like I’m not. Like my brain is manipulating me. And also like all the things I used to like I’ve somehow turned into like distaste which is so upsetting. I would like to think this is just ocd taking control and confusing me and distorting my perspective but I’m scared it’s not and that my feelings are gone. Has anyone experienced this but it was still ocd?

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

So I recently met this girl and honestly she is amazing. She’s beautiful and her personality is perfect. She lives only 15 min away from me and I feel blessed to have a chance to get to know her, we both feel the same. But here comes OCD to ruin it. My OCD has latched onto a friend of mine. He’s a pretty close friend and we talk often. He’s never really one to let out a laugh so I always like to hear him laugh and just be able to have a good time. Partially it’s because I just don’t want to think I’m annoying and unfunny, I’m pretty self concious about myself. OCD is turning this into some sort of scary what if I like him question. I don’t have romantic feelings for my friend and I don’t actually want to be with a man. I am a straight male and getting to know this girl has been a blessing. OCD makes me feel in denial and as if I’m lying to myself. I hate this. It feels awful, when I haven’t felt this way about a girl in a long time
