So I have been dealing with OCD and depression and anxiety for as long as I can remember. Rocd(relationship ocd). I started having horrible thoughts about getting married and how good of a wife I will even be. My OCD made me question if I should get married and it's making me so sick. I have wanted this moment for years and its finally coming and be its attached itself to this thought. I want to marry my husband so bad but hate these thoughts. Anyone else go through this crippling anxious feeling before getting married?

So my fiancé suffers from ROCD, and is very open to me about it. It’s different for everyone, especially how it presents itself and how to cope with it. He more so deals with horrible thoughts on something that I may have said or done. He has to rationalize each thought and goes through a whole process. It started two years after being together, but now he’s doing a lot better.

Hang in there. Therapy may be a good way to find good coping mechanisms so that you can move forward (not for everyone but if you have the money I would suggest it)

Do you take medication for your anxiety/depression? If so, may be worth discussing with your GP about temporarily adjusting your dosage. I would also seek out a therapist to talk through your fears and issues and maybe even bring FH in on some of your sessions. Sometimes you just need a third party to clear out the head mess!

I had a wonderful psychologist who was getting me through it then he passed away so I need a psychologist who specializes in OCD and ERP therapy

I have rocd too!! Though mine is based on a mistake that I actually made in the relationship. If you havent try NOCD app where you can vent and do therapy with it. It's been telling me so far.
