Hello all. I have been diagnosed with OCD and now I am on 50mg of Citalopram and 40 mg of Cipralex. Things are pretty good these days except that I am starting to obsess about my girlfriend cheating on me. I am not a over-bearing person and want us both to have lives outside of each other. How do I shut my brain off? Even little things like, should I check the odometer to make sure she went to her friends and not out fooling around on me. I don’t want to become weird and crazy and take everything to heart. IF she says anything I take it right to heart and feel like she is going to leave me. Im so obsessed with it, I don’t want to become an anal guy checking on her and everything, as that will drive her away. I need to change the way I think. Please help!

Spencer, the one thing that we all have to hold on to in this life is trust. I know that at times we let our brain run wild, and that is all it is. You have to have the trust, or the relationship will never work for either of you. Just take a second and think if she has ever given you any REAL reason to think this way. Chances are that the answer is no. And on the side note, this is a common thing that most men think about, I know I have, but in the end, I know that I have to have trust, and you will get there as well. Good Luck.
