Description
Individuals with anxiety disorders, such as OCD, face significant challenges in forming romantic relationships. Despite being successful in other areas of life, such as having a good career and being physically attractive, these individuals often struggle with dating due to their mental health issues. This can lead to feelings of isolation, low self-esteem, and a sense of hopelessness about their romantic future.Sources (1)
Just turned 30 (male) and have had an anxiety disorder/ocd my entire 20s. Trying my hardest to recover now and I’m proud of that. Had a girlfriend like back in middle school (lol) but outside of that never been a relationship. No kids, no sex. I’ve been called a catch and I guess considered above average looking. Good career. But it hasn’t happened. I’ve opened up and approached girls at bars in my 20s. I’ll usually get a number and it leads to no text back. I’ve tried the apps but rarely get a match. I don’t know if I’m too picky but I only like people I’m attracted to on there. As bad as a situation as it is, I’ve never felt I should “check a box” and force things to get the monkey off my back. Attraction is there or it’s not. And I promise I’m not being superficial or needing a super model or something. And I’ll at least like I said approach someone out which I never used to. But I don’t go out much. Between work and my recovery work, I’m exhausted and life is not easy. Not sure how I manage sometimes. The ocd obviously is number 1 in priority and concern, which like I said I’m working hard on recovery wise. But you throw my romantic history on top of it…and I really really really feel like a loser. Is it safe to say at this point it’s not going to happen and to focus on recovery?
