The ick can be normal in any relationship.... However if u have rocd it can turn into an obsession. Constantly thinking negatively, doing compulsions that feed into the cycle that only make u feel worse. The anxiety, stress and emotional distress that can be caused by rocd is the worst.

It's an old "Sex In The City" reference to Leanne (you know, the "uptight one" 🙄) but it resonated with millions. Not only is the Ick the gross slime disease aquarium fish can get on their feet, Leanne was describing that point in a relationship when everything your partner does grosses you out. Here's a silly Women's Health article I saw about it - https://www.womenshealthmag.com/relationships/a37550106/what-is-the-ick/

Is that like a normal faze in the relationship?

Depends. I agree with the article where I think it's normal if two people OD on new relationship energy and spend 24/7 together and need breathing room for a bit, and not "normal" (what is this "normal"?) when it's toxic. I've done both of these things on both ends. Sometimes, me and another were better friends than anything more, other times, I have been an uptight ass and put my negapuss energy on my lover. I also probably have the cute matching personality disorder too. I'm better than ever and striving daily. Meds with the right doctor who listened to my symptoms and believed me have been life-changing.

Hey guys! So I struggle with OCD, especially harm, relationship and moral stuff and I am somewhat recovered now. However, my current girlfriend has started showing signs of OCD but it’s abou5 something I don’t know much about so I wanted to see if anyone on here had thoughts about it. She is constantly thinking about food (when to eat it, what is healthy, what is too much, what is too little) and controls the thoughts by giving in and controlling her entire day around food. She don’t really know the feeling of being full. She never starved herself and always eats, but then she feels extremely guilty afterwards. Her thoughts do have to do a lot with her body image and not gaining weight but also not losing any either. Does this sound like ocd or an eating disorder?

Don't panic, you're still the same girl, your OC gives you a lot of intrusive thoughts that aren't you and that disgust you and scare you and that you don't want and that you don't think are true, and your OC gives you the false feelings.Also, don't forget that whatever comes to mind, whatever intrusive thoughts you have and whatever you feel, is all yours.

Trying not to seek reassurance, but rather connect the dots on my OCD and possible reasons as to why I am the way I am. I have severe OCD (or at least I hope I do) mainly surrounding POCD. I've had symptoms of OCD the majority of my life but this theme has come up more recently. When I was a kid, and i'm talking 6-7, I was first exposed to some really gross adult content online. It was introduced to me by a friend of mine around the same age of me. I saw some really disgusting things that a 6-7 year old should definitely not see. This was not a one time occurrence, as I had been exposed to taboo topics online years to come after that, such as the same friend introducing me to Omegle... And i'm sure you can imagine how that went, theres a lot of genuinely disgusting human beings on there. Coming back to the reason for making this post; is it possible to early exposure to this content could be one of the reasons I struggle with POCD? It genuinely scares me to death because you hear that real p*dos dealt with simular situations when they were kids, so thats kind of making me feel that this could be more than OCD, and I could be a genuinely bad person. My POCD feels so real, that at times i'm fully convinced its not OCD. Sometimes I can't even distinguish the feelings of attraction between a younger person and an older person, except for the feeling of anxiety and fear. Its really hard to explain without going into detail, but it just feels so real. Some feedback on this would be great, thank you all.
