💨 Abstract
Tyler Falcoa and Dierdre Rae share their struggles with OCD, particularly how it affected their love lives. Tyler, diagnosed at 10, found his OCD dominating his adolescence, causing severe anxiety around sex and relationships, including the fear of pregnancy and religious-phobic thoughts. Dierdre, also diagnosed, faced intrusive thoughts about contamination and emotional safety, leading to avoidance of dating and seeking reassurance.
