Hello there guy's, I have been suffering with relationship OCD for a while now. When I started my relationship with my partner , everything was perfect. I recently got suspended from work and after that I can't stop having these thoughts!! About whether being in the relstionship is right, do i love her? Blah blah blah About a week on I managed to feel better and be concrete about my feelings and looking forward to the future! Then we go to my house for the weekend to meet my parents and it all kicks off again ! Back to the thoughts, crippling anxiety and depression. I seem to be better at night where as in the mornings I feel absolutely terrible.

Why is this happening ? Why can't I just be 100% on what I want, I question and over analyse everything.

I just want to be happy in my relationship and I want it with this girl i dont want to give up

I am taking 30mg paroxetine a day

Thank you all

Hi Sambo, it's quite a common thing to doubt relationships seen quite a few posts on here saying same thing, and as for questioning and over analysing that's really common, I'm analysing all the time when I'm ill.

Your feelings will go back to normal as you recover, for now hang in there mate.

I sometimes ask myself "what would I be thinking if I was well" abd you realise it's the anxiety which distorts your rational thinking.

You will be okay. Neil
