I am lucky enough to be with a very supportive man (engaged, to be married in september) that understands and wants to help with all of my problems (OCD, General Panic, Depression, SAD). He even tells me how he thinks that taking my medications means that I am strong enough to take care of it. His father has mental issues as well, so he is comfortable talking about it and doesn't see it as anything that is a flaw, just part of who I am.

So I should have no problems, right? My issue is that I have such a hard time telling him the things that I need help with, or what I want in regards to mental health. It is often little things. I am able to tell my girlfriends everything, because I send it to them in a text message. But I can't talk about it... I'm working on it, and want to get him (he is completely willing) some literature about my OCD so he can understand what is running through my head.

Why can't I talk about this stuff aloud? I know he wants to hear it... but I feel as if it's not important, or I'm over-reacting whenever I try to voice it.

How can I get over this?
