In response to message posted by honest42:I
I am SOOOO Happy I found this web-site. I have suffered with OCD for 10 years. It first started with a boyfriend I had and now the doubts, what if I don't really love him, what if I married the wrong person, etc. have stayed with me. I would love to talk to people on how they are managing their OCD.
Please let me know.

In response to message posted by honest42:Hi I read your post and it was an answer to prayer. Please let me know how you are doing. I suffer from OCD and its the SAME THOUGHTS. I started these thoughts when I was 20 as well. Please let me know how you are doing. I have been in therapy and was JUST diagnosed with this. 9 years of therapy where everyone told me it was just anxiety and finally someone said OCD. Please respond and let me know how things are going. Hopefully, I can share what I have learned and you can do the same.

In response to message posted by im49sgirl:I'm not writing in response to your letter.....im sorry. But im a mom trying to "diagnose" her daughter. My daughter has adhd and is 17....she will be 18 on october 14th. I know she has adhd...shes on aderall. But i also think she may be ocd. I dont want to put another "label" on her, but need to know. The only thing that troubles me about ocd is she doesnt count things. But she is obsessed with her boyfriend...always thinking he is cheating, or dont love her. She is obsessed with diseases and every month checks if she is pregnant. She is on the pill and her and her b/f use condoms. She always thinks foods or things are bad, and always ask me things like " if i shave and get bumps is that a disease or cancer?" She used to ask a lot of questions like that when she was younger. She would ask if leftovers were bad and could she get sick. Is this ocd or something else? I just want to treat her for the right illness. She blames everyone for her problems. she is not at fault ever! Please i beg you... help me. APRIL

In response to Re: I have had ocd since i was a little girl and now i am 21 and posted by bob123434:Hey Bob,
I feel your frustration with your girlfriend. I also have a girlfriend with OCD. She behaves very much like your girlfriend does. I totally understand the always right thing during evearguementent. Targuementent is always in some way put on you to deal with. They are very much in denial and can't own their own truth.( so my therapist says). I started seeing a therapist because maybe I have some past issues that are causing a problem. I have just recently realized that it isn't my issues I'm having a problem with. I'm reacting normally to someone who is emotionally distant most of the time and denies that they are ever doing anything wrong. I have put up with it fsoosoo long (3 and 1/2 years) that I have gotten pretty frustrated. I can't seem to reason with her to at least reach some kind of happy medium with things. We are both in couples counseling and I hope that we can make some progress. I feel like an awful person when I feel like leaving the relationship. It is hard too be understanding when you can't get what you need in a relationship. I hope it doesn't take you as long to get help with this as I did. The more frustrated you get the harder it is to deal with.

In response to DO I HAVE OCD??? posted by Wantdizscoobysnk:Hi, I think my last posting was erased so I'm putting it in again just in case. I was diagnosed with OCD last year but I have had it since I was little. I am having similiar problems in my relationship. I constantly wonder if its right or if I erally love him. And he is the perfect guy for me, so sweet and understanding and wonderful. And we get along so well and love being around each other. But I am always waiting to have one of my "episodes" where I suddenly feel like I don't have any feelings for him and start wondering if I should just break up with him. And then to make it worse I confess these feelings to him seeking reasurance and then I feel like such a bad person. If anyone has any advice or has a similiar experience to share it would really help. It has already helped reading about people who share such similiar experiences with me, its the first time I've ever heard of anyone else having this OCD problem in their relationships.

» mazzie1 - relationship with a man who has ocd
If anyone could help me or give me advice I'd really appriciate it. I'm only 17, so I'm confused but my boyfriend has ocd which I've come to discover is an anxiety disorder, the only thing is that I'm falling in love with him, but he says he can't with me because he can't open up his feelings unless everything is perfect. For example we spent an incredible 8 hours on a date together in which we explored my home town of Glaisdale, we had a great time and enjoyed ourselves, but towards the end of the date I became quiet as I was exhausted as he likes constant converstion and has to constantly be on the move so after 8 hours I was mentally and physically exhausted, but because I went quiet he got really upset and says he can't be with me because things aren't perfected,and says he can't fall in love with me until things are, he is als very sensitive and it breaks my heart, I say little things like, oh you're so silly and I mess up his hair as a joke and he'll refuse to be with me unless I stop doing certain things. He says he's falling for me, but can't be with me because of his problems with perfection and he'll only evertruly give me his heart when perfection is achieved, but surely this is impossible, does this mean that he can never love me? If anyone can help me, I'd really apptriciate it please.-- posted by mazzie1
