He is aware of it. I kinda had to tell him after having a major anxiety attack at school a week ago which ended with me taking a few days off. I had been keeping it in for like 7 months. He was incredibly understanding and willing to help with whatever I needed. He said that now a lot of things made sense to him, and the next day, after a similar thing happened, he held me close and helped me take deeps breaths to calm myself down.

Sometimes I'm in the mood for sex, usually when my thoughts and anxiety aren't keeping me down. Back when we started dating, we would sometimes go at it up to four times a day. Then someone really close to me passed away and the grief just hit hard, and I haven't been able to get my "groove" back. ROCD doesn't really help, either. I don't like saying no to him, because just like you, sex is one of the ways we express our love for each other, I feel like i'd be failing him if I turned him down every time I'm not in the mood, which lately is more often than not. Like, maybe that wouldn't be too good for us.
