I just got into a relationship and I feel like my ocd is definitely affecting me. I’m having fears of many things and I feel super overwhelmed. It’s making me want to become avoidant. I’m am happy in it, but there’s just a lot that I’m not ready for and worrying about.

I feel you hun this is the exact same as me 😢

I’m sorry you’re going through the same. It’s definitely hard because it makes me feel bad. I wish I was outgoing or carefree, but I’m not. It’s hard

@illbeok - I totally relate to the feeling of wanting to be carefree and "easy breezy" but not thinking I am enough! But you don't have to be anything other than you are. People try and make people feel bad, often, as well, for not being "chill" or whatever silly stories are out there that we try to follow. I'm sorry you are feeling bad. You deserve compassion for being where you are right now.

From someone who had it while in a relationship and got dumped, enjoy it, take ur time and bring the anxiety with you because I wish I was told that while I was still with her

Thank you. I’m trying and I’m also communicating with him, so I hope I’ll soon let go of fear. I’m sorry about that though.
