Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Support Group
Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a psychiatric disorder, more specifically, an anxiety disorder. OCD is manifested in a variety of forms, but is most commonly characterized by a subject's obsessive (repetitive, distressing, intrusive) thoughts and related compulsions (tasks or rituals) which attempt to neutralize the obsessions.

The thing that caught me about your post is that you're worried about letting your worrying interfere with your relationship. I too have found the love of my life, and only over the past few months when my anxiety levels have been heightened has he come to realise the true extent of my worrying and anxious thought patterns. I feel so guilty for burdening him with my issues, and I worry more than anything that my anxiety will come between us... but at the end of the day he loves me deeply and only wants to help and support me through all this. I hope that you have the strength and courage to be open with your partner and to discuss what's going on, as I'm sure you would find a lot of love and support from them.
After I finish worry about one thing, I"ll worry about it again after some time. ...while I'm writing this, the eHarmony (an online dating site) advertisement pops up...I wonder if I could find someone who would be willing to listen to my worries and understand them. It's relieving to know that I'm not alone, thanks for sharing your experiences. You guys have given me hope.
