OCD going nuts after failed relationship :(

[Guest Stressedout]

Any advice / common experience... After nearly two yrs my boyfriend split up with me and it was really unexpected and really badly handled on his part... My OCD which is already v bad just latches on and I feel like I'm falling... Thoughts spinning around and around.. I'm not good enough... How will I ever get anyone as good as him who got my OCD... Feeling out of control ...I'm not good enough... Can't cope with him not in my life...

I know a lot of that is normal after a break up but has anyone else found their OCD makes it soooooo much worse?

My anxiety went through the roof after my girlfriend broke up with me. I was devastated and heartbroken and my ocd of being gay got 100 times worse. She did not know about my ocd at all. I also felt like I was rejected and not good enough, I felt betrayed etc. Breakups are very hard. You are just going to have a rotten few months ahead of you regardless of the ocd but if that gets worse its horrible. I would confide in some friends if possible and have a good heart to heart chat and try and socialise. If you want your boyfriend back I would not contact him at all unless he contacts you. Even if it takes months and months. Dont chase him.

Thank you for replying...it's not my first split by any means but only the second person in my life who I really thought I had my future sorted with... Now feeling out of control .... He got my OCD and it was a huge support ... Now gone x
