I'm sorry, I really am, and I'm sorry I'm not strong enough to just clean. I'm in a box. I can't explain how I see this mess, and why I can't do things the way most people think I should be able to, but I wish people would just take my word and try to help me find another solution.

I'm afraid if I leave, I won't be able to live financially as well as I can now, and I'm not living well financially. But I can shop now and then, and just get my mind off things and feel a little bit better. We're supposed to get better Internet and TV (we have no access to TV now, but I think he's still paying the bill, maybe because the person would have to come inside to disconnect the TV, I'm not sure) when we get cleaned up. I know it's not going to happen.

I'm sorry. I hope the psychologist can help me. For the record, even though I'm scared for anyone to see and to get in trouble with my boyfriend, I did describe my home to my psychiatrist as "unlivable." He knows of the trash, cat pee and poo.
Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like your boyfriend has a lot of control over you. You are afraid to make decisions and changes because you fear he will get angry at you. He goes out on long trips, knowing that you struggle with OCD and getting out of the house. It sounds like he is focusing on himself and how he feels, and not considering you at all. Meanwhile, you are focusing on him and making sure he doesn't get mad. This does not sound like a healthy relationship, and being able to shop once in a while does not make a relationship worth staying in. Is a little occasional extra money worth your independence and quality of life? I certainly don't think so. You deserve a happy life and in this situation right now you will never find that.
Thanks for this!
