OCD really hurts

Hey,

I'm new here have been diagnosed with OCD for nearly four years now, before it seemed a benefit in many ways it made my house tidy, it made me so attentive in my career - I think it just ruined my current relationship

My boyfriend who I love so much, and who has been so wonderfully supportive of me just lost it at me. I Tried to hide it told him a week ago I was struggling a bit, actually really struggling but he was so good but we just had a massive argument about

Towels

Yes towels, I have this stupid way of folding towels, I said we should fold towels in a certain way over the towel rail as it would look neat and dry better

I'm in bed, he tells me I have not folded the towel properly

I freak, beyond freak I checked the towels before getting into bed

He insists he did not touch the towel on top that I'm crazy that I messed up this towel I know I didnt how could I have done

He calls me crazy, mental as I freak out about this towel

He should not have called me mental or crazy and he knows that, he doesn't understand this entire ocd thing he found me scrubbing things clean as I needed to clean and wanted to talk but I couldn't talk as I felt awful

I'm not sure what I'm asking for here just help I guess, he is a good man despite his bad use of words he will want to help me

Elle, welcome to the forum.

No, people shouldn't be calling you mental or crazy. You're not. You're also not alone. This forum is populated by people with OCD -- either struggling with it or who have overcome it.

Have a look around the main forum and jump right in. We're here to help.

thank you, so much

honestly thank you

my boyfriend is not a bad person he has his own problems to fight right now, beyond what could be normal pressure. I have been able to help him for some time now, but the sudden loss of my father sent my OCD into such a spin
