I've just recently been diagnosed with OCD and the main reason is because I was suffering from exactly what you're describing!! Everytime I started dating a guy I started thinking that I liked every other guy there is (including all my ex's) and didn't like the one I was dating. I couldn't think of anything else and I suffered from major anxiety. The only way to get rid of this was to end the relationship! The last time I dated someone I started suffering from this really badly and was eventually diagnosed with OCD. I had to end the relationship too because I couldn't handle it - I couldn't eat or sleep and started having panic attacks! Now i'm scared to ever date anyone again! It's good to know that someone else suffers from the same as me. The only problem I have now is that I don't know how to overcome this - it would be good to hear from someone who has eventually been able to cope with dating someone! And no you're not crazy strugglingdude - unless I am too??!!!???!!!
Im 16 and got diagnosed at about 11-12.i am on the highest medication the doctors can give me but this dosnt always help.what your explsaing about your relationship has happneed to me, its as though there is someone else inside of me telling me the things which i know are not true. i know it sounds silly and i know its harder said than done but if you try to ignore it,it will ease off, or if this didnt work which it didnt for me then you could try and do the opposite its telling you to do,you mentioned about feeling guilty, tell it no i love this person i am with thats why i am with them.i have explained to my boyfrind everything and he dosnt understand becasue no one will ever understand what people with OCD feel apart from otheres with it, but he tries to and and always listens to me. hpoe this helps a tad. Love Torii x
