Relationship OCD

[Birdie147]

I have other subtypes of OCD - I've had health OCD, scrupulocity, and others in the past. Struggled most of my life with it but have just recently understood what it was. That said, I am in a new relationship with this guy and I am terrified that God is telling me to break up with him. To the point that I don't pray because I'm afraid of God speaking to me or impressing on me that He wants me to break up. The thing is, I've been on the receiving end of that about 6 years ago when my fiance left me suddenly because he felt that God told him I wasn't the one for him. So I don't know if this is the trauma causing me to feel this way or if God really wants me to give up my relationship. I love this guy so much and feel sick at just the thought of not having him. Can someone help?

This is a very common type of OCD - ROCD, or relationship OCD! One of my first recommendations is to join the Facebook support group "Christianity and Anxiety Disorders," because I know there are others on there who have had the exact same struggles, and they may be able to offer some good advice. (I've never personally struggled with this theme, though I have had many others!)
