Ahhh, it's so difficult! We live together and moving out would require moving back in with my parents... my momma is practically begging me to pack up and move back into my old room lol.
Thank you for your advice, though... it's very logical and frankly, the best thing to do.
Well you have to decide if your well being is more important than living with this guy and if getting better and being healthy is more important.Quote:

Marines "suck it up" but you do not have to "suck it up" and you can tell him to take a hiike. Maybe moving home for a bit would not be a bad idea. At least until you have gotten a firmer hold on the OCD.
Sucking it up does not work with a disorder such as yours. You can suck up pain from a paper cut, you can suck up having a bad day, but you can't suck up a chemical imbalance. It is IMPOSSIBLE.
Not only did I learn this in school, but I was raised with a father who had a chemical imbalance and believed for a very long time that he should suck it up. It became apparent after many years that he was doing more harm to himself and his family by "sucking it up." He finally agreed to medication and was so much healthier after that.
If a person has diabetes they have to take insulin (well, some diabetics, just using this as an example), they can't "suck up" their illness, they need medication. And so do you.
This boyfriend does not care for you one iota. If he did he would be there to help you, support you, and love you whether you needed meds or not.
Moving home would be good for you. You will have your Mother who understands your disorder and will be there to love you, help you and support you.
