Current concern:

The past year I’ve had new thoughts that my boyfriend of 8.5 years could be poisoning me. The thoughts aren’t every day but when I do have them they are quite distressing and are all I can think about. I’m torn if this is my OCD or something else entirely. The thoughts started after a bad week of arguments with each other and he left his phone lying out and I snooped and saw the previous night he was Googling: ak47, ak47 costs, pawn shops near me, shmurder shuicide, mini gun, sago palms, golden milk latte (I told him awhile back that I cant have tumeric lattes again because I’m anemic and they make me short of breath), selenium dioxide. He is an organic chemist and is often working alone in a lab due to showing up and leaving later than his coworkers most days.

It’s been 3.5 months since I saw all of this on his phone and asked about it. He told me his coworkers were talking about those things with him which is why he searched them and when I wasn’t convinced he said he would call them and prove it but I was so embarrassed for even asking him about his search history so I just dropped it and said not to worry about calling his coworkers.

Another important note, He has random interests sometimes and bounces from one hobby to the next all the time and a few years ago he bought a book off Amazon about common household poisons and toxins. I forget the exact title but he still has iron our bookshelf. It’s bookmarked on a page about how toxins affect the GI tract…at the time when he bought this book I did not think much of it other than it’s just a weird interest of his..

He Googled the weird Google searches about a month after we got back from an international trip with his family. It was his dream trip and his teen brother pretty much ruined the trip being a bully to us all on the trip and when I wouldn’t tolerate it and tried to take off to do my own things my bf flipped out on me and seemed upset with me even blaming me for ruining the trip later. He was cold and distant after the trip which is what led me to snooping on his phone because something did not feel right. He has a history of explosive anger and breaking things but didn’t do that for many months and seemed to be doing better..

This is causing me so much distress I’m mentally not ok and considering whether I need psychiatric help or if my concerns are valid at all. my GI Dr knows all of this because a ct scan awhile back showed I had severe enteritis of my small intestine and I had stool panel tests and bloodwork and the cause couldn’t be found..I later told him about my bf’s odd behaviors and he did a basic toxicology panel and it came back normal but my bf is a chemist and works with so many chemicals a normal panel wouldn’t cover all of them..maybe I’m crazy..idk what to do

My symptoms have been:

weight loss unexplained (I’m underweight), worsening anemia (I started eating a lot of meat recently and had a CTE that showed no bleeding or inflammation anymore), bone and joint pains (rheumatology said I’m negative for autoimmune and arthritis), abdominal pains all over, losing a lot of hair in the shower, vision issues (lost vision in my right eye for a few mins then it came back and happened twice in a week in January), worsening palpitations, tachycardia, a new very tiny lesion on my kidney found by accident but drs don’t want to evaluate that further, and a few malignant appearing nodules on my thyroid that came back benign.

Do I need a psychiatrist or more tests? I’m having thoughts about my bfs odd behaviors again tonight and I’m upset..
