Dealing with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder (OCPD) has been a challenge for me, especially when it comes to my relationships. It’s difficult to balance the need for control and structure with the desire for emotional intimacy and flexibility. I’ve struggled with the fear of being judged or criticized by my partner, which has caused strain in past relationships. However, I’ve been working on understanding my OCPD and how it affects my interactions with others. Therapy has been incredibly helpful in learning coping strategies and communication techniques to improve my relationships. It’s a work in progress, but I’m dedicated to growing and becoming more resilient in navigating the complexities of OCPD and relationships. I’m hopeful that with continued support and understanding, I can cultivate healthier and more fulfilling connections with those I care about.
