Maintaining a good relationship - bad thoughts etc

Post Reply New Topic

I have aspergers, adhd, and really bad ocd. I have been with my girlfriend/bestfiend (don't aww me! lol) for 84 days, but I feel lately that I might scare her off with the way I am and stuff. Idk. I can't really explain what I want to.. Basically, lately I keep thinking I might annoy her too much, or I'm too much sometimes, or I may push her away accidently etc. This is my first REAL relationship and I just constantly think something bad will happen and I know its bad to do that but it's uncontrollable sometimes. When we're with each other, absolutely 1,000,000% fine! But when we're not around each other.. the thoughts come back :/

How can I stop myself from being so silly? It is just me, being silly. As I say when we're around each other and i talk about it, she says im being silly and theres nothing to worry about but it just comes back whenever im alone :/

I really want to fight these bad thoughts because all I do is sit alone thinking deeper into it and then I find myself in a bad mood. It sucks!

What's the best advice?

If you need to let out the bad thoughts, the safest way to do so would essentially just be letting it out in private when no one else is around. Then speak positively when others are around. Try and also to speak positively on your own as well.

Speak to her about it, tell her what you think. You might find that she's delighted that you've opened up and is more than happy to reassure you.*

At the end of the day you need to be yourself whether or not this endears you to her or pushes her away.


*unless she runs away screaming or calls the police.

Seriously though, given your list of diagnosed problems, I seriously doubt she's going to be put off by a little insecurity. Does she speak to you about her insecurities? If you care about / love each other you might want to have this conversation for both of you.

RELAX!!

You're in a relationship, at the moment it's working so just accept this and enjoy the moment.

My advice: Tell her with a smile on your face that you think she's so awesome that you sit around wondering why a girl like her would be interested in a guy like you and that you will text/chat her next time it's happening because it means you need to fill up your strange brain with some lovefuel. That's just how you work and what you need from her in the relationship.

Don't worry, if she's truly right for you it will get better over time because she will remove your fears.
