Since my teens I was hardly ever single. I was usually in a long relationship. There were signs of anxiety during one relationship but that didnt last. Neither did the relationship. During my last relationship when I got engaged, a then friend pointed out that he thought I had OCD. Had noticed I felt different but I hadn’t noticed anything extreme until he said & then it got really extreme. I told my ex that I was anxious and described some of the symptoms. She seemed to understand bit in the end my anxiety contributed to the relationship breakdown. I’ve not had a relationship since and it scares me. How do a pick a date up without her noticing I’m checking nothing has fallen out of the car? How do I spend time with her and relax without wanting to check an imaginary object has fallen into her pocket?
How can I get past this?
