First explain to her that it’s not her and it’s your ocd and you actually do love her. Explain the symptoms of ocd and how it’s not just cleaning and she should understand. It’s better to tell your loved one about this because if you guys end up staying with eachother forever, during adulthood it could get worse and you need someone to be there for you and understand. If they don’t understand then they aren’t the one. If they truly loved you, they will do anything for you and not think any different of you. Sending you all my love ❤️

It’s so hard to expect someone to understand ocd bc it’s so complex and difficult to understand. And the sad part is they can rightfully choose to leave because of it...

The right person will stay with you through anything. In my first marriage my wife at the time didn’t understand and she genuinely made me feel worse. I divorced and met the right person. She supports my OCD 100%. Even when im at my worst or talk about insane things shes there for me. If someone leaves because of your OCD then it wasnt meant to be

I’m so glad you found a better person to understand. I’m so terrified of being alone forever. My ex wants to get back together and I want to as well but I think once I tell him I got diagnosed he won’t want to be with me

What’s your theme

POCD so I talked about some crazy things with her and she’s always been there by my side. I’m actually struggling lately and I have my first 90 minute session next week. She’s going to make sure that I have time to do the session and she’s very supportive of me doing it. Even if the person you’re with doesn’t support you and it doesn’t work out just remember that it’s a step to bring you to the right person. My first marriage was a nightmare but I wouldn’t change it because it brought me to my wife now

I am wanting to go to therapy to hopefully lower my OCD symptoms but I am terrified to tell anyone else, like a therapist, about my intrusive thoughts. Has anyone else had this experience and if so how did you get over it?

can someone with this theme help me i’m so scared and i can’t stop having panic attacks is this OCD??? So i always have struggled most with sucicidal ocd and harm ocd. i never really had any other themes. but recently ive struggled with SOOCD. My whole life i have never EVER been into girls ever and i could never even think of ever being with a girl in my entire life. i’m having extreme amounts of anxiety and i have compulsions to make sure i look at a girl and don’t feel anything towards them or anything. My mind is literally going “what if your just in denial” or “what if you’ve just been hiding it all these years” When i know i haven’t. i have all of the symptoms of SOOCD and i still know that im not gay,but these thoughts are extremely distressing and have been the worse to deal with. I’m constantly panicking and doing compulsions to get these thoughts to leave and they won’t. i’m scared and these thoughts are making my mind scared. What if i’m going against my morals and i’m lying to myself like and i just went through a tough breakup too so that is shooting these thoughts and anxiety. Please help omg!!!

I feel like one of the worst things about ocd are the disturbing images or the ‘little movies’ that replay in your head over and over again. I have the worst sexual images with one of my family members that actually so bad that I can’t even look in the mirror. And it’s even worse that I have a lovely boyfriend and I’m so disgusted of myself that I feel like I don’t deserve him and I feel like I can’t be with him because of these thoughts, even he is the most precious thing in my life. These sexual images are so horrible and what makes it even worse that in these pictures I always see myself as someone who enjoys it. I know how to deal with this anymore. My mind is trying to convince me that that I actually like these images and thoughts and this is the hardest part, that I’m doubting myself. These images pop up in my head so naturally that I always question myself if I actually don’t like it why it comes so naturally or how can my brain picture things like this if I don’t like it. It’s getting worse day by day. It’s in my head 24/7, can’t concentrate on anything else, I can’t eat because I’m constantly throwing up. And my mom has to sleep with me every night because I’m so disturbed by my own mind. My parents know that there’s something wrong with me, they think I’m depressed but sadly It’s not something I can talk openly about with them. I’m seeing a therapist next week but I’m genuinely scared to open up about these thoughts that I’m having.
