I had a good friend who gave up drinking all together for a few reasons. I used to really enjoy drinking socially, 2-3 times a week at most. However, during a relapse with ocd, I've found that alcohol made my symptoms a lot worse the next day.

It might sound strange at first! but i think it is a great approach...my approach was almost the exact same

I can relate in a way to how you have been feeling. In the past, there was once a period in time when I had doubts about my significant other. I found myself questioning whether or not I was as happy as I could be with her. Sometimes with OCD, I find that things can be over-analyzed....at least that was the case for me. My advice would be similar...just try and go with the flow and let the chips fall as they may. Easier said than done but sometimes overthinking can just make it so much more confusing.

Hey, I have struggled with something fairly similar in the past with a relationship. After sending a text, I have found myself feeling very nervous or irritable only until I have received a message back from said person. If i didnt get an answer back after a little while, I would message again because I would worry. Something that worked for me: I was suggested to try and do my best to occupy myself with something other than thinking about or waiting for a message back. And when I would get the urge to send another message after an hour or however long...to simply just not send another message and to wait. I know how much easier it sounds to be said than actually done. Not sure if this helps out much but I just thought I would respond since it sounded like I could possible relate. -Mark
