yesterday ocd got the best of me. I am just tired of it running my life. I have done all the coping skills but some times it still just gets me

      I have when I was younger we had a long talk and hopefully now that he saw the extent he seems to be more aware. also I was trying to get off a med with my doctors permission so i think it just escalated it even further.

      I'm sorry if this isn't helpful, but have you done ERP? If you know the planning will make the OCD spike, then therapy should help to keep the anxiety at a manageable level. And in my perspective it's valid to be second guessing the situation because of either the argument or since it is a big change.

      People outside of OCD may not understand the mindset of people with OCD, such as why we ask for reassurance, do checking behaviors, compulsions, or ruminating. I don't know your situation and don't want to assume anything, but I'm open to help you, as I'm sure others on this app are.

        @Ladoo I know they do not get it I mean honestly half the time I do not get it. Him and I are getting married in less then a year so it's just concerning because I know the ocd will go up because of the planning and stuff. It is making me second guess every thing

      Yeah but it caused a big fight and i just feel like no one really gets it

      I get how you feel. Even with help and support I still catch myself doing compulsions that I know will make me feel bad but I need the temporary relief.
