Why can’t I shake off this feeling of annoyance of my gf. It’s like I know I love her but now it’s like I get annoyed of her and I can’t shake it off no matter the amount of erp I do or anything. I haven’t spoken to a therapist yet, but I do do research on ocd and I very method has helped me but now I’m stuck. This has been going on and off for a few years now but it feels like everything that worked to get rid of it doesn’t anymore. What should I do? I know I love my girlfriend and I can’t bring myself to let her go because it would bring me down another path of ocd wondering if I made the right choice or not. I’m slowly starting to feel insane and hopeless.

I felt the same about my husband past year. Then finally went to therapist and get some meds prescription. After about a month all irritation faded away. Im so glad I haven't ruined my relationship because of OCD.

@lbarton04 Zoloft, but please check with your therapist first.

@LisaZhrv I’ve been on Zoloft for almost 5 years. It helps for me but doesn’t make it go away :/
