I have OCD. I haven't been diagnosed but im sure of it. i always have these thoughts that i can't control/stop thinking about. I also touch something or do something about 7 times after i think about it. Whenever something is in my hands and i want to put it down i have to put it down 7 times. I know its weird and I'm so ashamed. In fact im so ashamed that i haven't told anybody. I really want to tell my boyfriend since we've been going out for over a year. But I'm affraid. I have no clue how he is gonna react and I'm scared that he'll either A: get really mad i've been keeping it from him or B: think I have problems and leave me =( I dont know why i think this though because he is so nice and we love each other so much and he supports me in anything i want to do. No one at all knows so I decided that if i tell than it's going to be him first... But i'm scared cuz i've never actually admitted it out loud before. I always think about it though... How do I tell him?

Also, nobody knows i have OCD because i try to hide it. Like if there is people around i try to do it when no one is looking. My boyfriend caught me doing some weird things before and i made the dumbest excuses. The more i hide it in public like that the more i take it out when im alone...

he's your boyfriend. if he really truly cares about you, he would want to know. plus, OCD is such a huge part of someone. if he's your boyfriend, wouldn't you want him to know all about you.. not just half of you?

Before you decide you have it, go see your doctor. If you do have it, there is medication that can help. If not, maybe there is another cause for your behavior. Don't diagnose yourself and tell people a diagnosis until you have confirmed it with a doctor.
Nothing to be ashamed of. Everyone has something that is not quite as they would like. People who judge you, don't deserve your friendship.

It's not like it's some kind of disease. Don't be ashamed of it. Just tell him. Do you really think he'll freak out and judge you for something you can't help?

OK you should just tell your boyfriend if he loves you like you say he does then he will stay with you an there is a big chance he already knows. some things you just cant hide.

You should just tell him that you think you have a problem. Then go see a doctor. They have medication that can control this if it is what you have.
