I have been with my partner now for just under a year. He makes me feel great , makes me confident and I don’t want to lose him . But recently I’ve been obsessive thinking that I’m going to break up with him and that I’m not good enough he has re assured me in every way that we will get through my shit times together . But I’m terrified I’m going to break up with him and lose him for good. The words have been In my mouth and I know it’s not the right thing todo but my head won’t stop and I’m so scared of losing him . Has anyone experienced this? And if so can you help me out ?

That's typical of OCD! I've been there myself. He has given you reassurance that he is there for you and has no intention of leaving. Don't ask for more reassurance as the more you get, the more you will demand.
It's great that you have such a supportive partner. But if your self-esteem is low, it can be difficult to accept that someone really wants to be with you. I'm afraid OCD targets you where things really matter to you, such as your relationship with a partner.
Perhaps try to bolster your self-esteem. There are things you can do, including self help books and courses, but you could start by writing down your good points and successes. It may be surprising how many of these there are!
