Hello folks. I’m feeling sad and lost today because my boyfriend is really starting to struggle in our relationship because of my anxiety. I have OCD, panic disorder, and GAD. It makes it hard for us/him/me to have friends. It makes it hard to live with me. It makes going places hard (x10 during the pandemic). My repetitive and intrusive thoughts and compulsions cause issues with me trusting him, being able to be touched, going new places, etc. 

Basically he says he’s just tired of living his life based off fear, and not even his fear. He’s just not sure he wants to continue the relationship (3 years long). I’m in my 30s already, so it’s pretty rough to hear. 

I guess I just don’t know if there’s hope for this or any relationship because of my anxiety. Anyone having any luck out there? I don’t know what more I can do. I would love to beat this crap but it’s feeling hopeless at the moment and really crushing my self-esteem. 

Please be kind, it has been a very hard day already. Thanks in advance.
