Congrats on the 7 month streak!!! OCD heightens your worst fears, so the fact that it’s telling you “what if you don’t love you’re boyfriend? what if you love this other person?” shows just how much you actually love your boyfriend and don’t want to lose him.

I have been undertaking “ERP” treatment with my therapist. He would tell me to picture actually falling in love with someone else. In order to beat OCD we need to expose ourselves to the worst fear we have. For instance. I have driving OCD. When I drive past someone I think Iv Hit someone. Then I need to check. Now by using ERP I can drive past people most times and not get “triggered” ?? he would get me to accept that I may have hit someone and go as far as to imagine that I did. Our anxiety will spike. But eventually our body will get used to it and “habituate”. You know deep down that you and your boyfriend are in a loving relationship. But by asking for reassurance, checking and ruminating you are just making the cycle and doubt stronger. Understand? ?

I think it’s really cool you told him - it shows how much you trust him - and I’m sure he recognizes that. Also, relationships are about being there for the other person in the good and the bad.

I use to always talk to my fiancé when I had those thoughts.. then my counselor recommended not to. I write them out instead. I do know it’s torturous... however, our OCD targets what we love. Mine went from me thinking I didn’t love him to what if I wanted one of his friends or brother, or loved them. Have you experienced that at all? I would try and give my fiancé more affection and just keep fighting the OCD when I felt like I didn’t love him.

Sometimes is better to keep some thoughts to yourself if you already know it's a disease.And sometimes our loved ones don't understand it at first time or the way it really feels for us.Be cool and focus in the future ??

He should understand OCD better rather than being petty and jealous

me and my girlfriend since we started dating we be only had one problem, and that is my fear of everything of losing her of her cheating, and it’s all caused by OCD. my texts are massive and i get worried i know i love her and she makes me calm i know i love her. we had a conversation yesterday and basically she said that she feels suffocated with my texts and my fears. she went on trip were she doesn’t have her phone. and yesterday i spent the entire day crying about her. my head is filled with intrusive thoughts. and last night i got so stressed that it seemed like the love went away or i couldn’t remember the love, but it’s impossible because i was crying about her yesterday. this struggle my relationship is having is making me so stressed. pls give me advice
