We broke up and I got my diagnosis

My girlfriend of 3 years broke up with me because she couldn’t handle the way I showed up in the relationship and all the pain I caused her.

After seeing multiple therapists and suspecting rOCD for the duration of the 3 years, I finally met an OCD therapist a little too late, but got my provisional diagnosis.

I feel like I lost the greatest person I met but I also feel relieved that I won’t be dealing with all those symptoms and intrusive thoughts.

My road to healing won’t be easy but I am excited to go on it.
