I don't know that much about OCD but I do know that the stress of having someone put you down doesn't do a lot for your mental health.

I hope that you continue on the path of healing, both body and soul, and surround yourself with people who are loving and kind.

Your teeth are important. Forget about the cosmetic things. The most important thing is to be healthy and to work towards having a healthy body and mind. It's the only one you have. See if you can pay your dentist in installments and just get the work done.

I don't know if you have a therapist to help you with your self-image but group therapy sometimes helps as well.

I know that when I started to get better, there were people who wanted me to stay unhealthy because it meant that they had more control over me. It took a while before I felt strong enough to make healthy choices for myself. In the end, I left these people behind, despite their manipulation, threats and guilt-inducing comments. It's sometimes lonely to be alone but I'd rather have that than abuse and one day I hope real love will come a-calling!

Anyway, I am just rambling and it probably doesn't help you with your bf problem but don't let his comments keep you from caring about yourself and taking care of yourself. It makes me sad when you say that you should be grateful that he is there. That's just not true. He is there because he is getting something out of it, as well.
