I am a rapid cycling bipolar and i am a codependent, but when someone uses the term "obsessive compulsive" it's typically in reference to a completely different mental illness known as OCD (or obsessive compulsive disorder).
You may very likely be obsessing over a relationship in your life and quite often us codies tend to react on impulse, but OCD is much, much different.
In my opinion, the best forum here at SR to learn and talk to others about your codie issues is the 'friends and family of alcholics' forum (and also because for you there is an alcoholic influence in your family through your grandfather.
While many of us here in the Mental Health form are also recovering codies and/or addicts....this would be the perfect forum to learn more about your mental health issues.

Yes, OCD. Not the kind where you check the stove 15 times before you leave the house or have to touch every object in a room when you walk into it, mine are thoughts. Not really relationships, but everything. I can't shut my mind off. My therapist said they were obsessive thoughts (I hope I don't sound like an idiot). Anyway, thank you for replying!
