I understand you soo well! Stressing and annoying are the best words that describes it!🙄🙄 The problem for us, is that when an intrusive thoughts came, we fear the negative answer! So we have to find proof that is not true = in that way we give importance to the tought. The fear came back whe we find evidences (triggers) that the answer that we don't want CAN be real. I think that astrology just triggered you. I know it's hard; but no one can find an answer! You should embrace uncertainty, and manage thoose doubts as rocd doubts!!

there are a lot of random arbitrary categories in society that supposedly predict behavior and compatibility, but we don't put as much stock into those. what are your hogwarts houses? what's your blood type? what's your gender? MBTI? are you type A, B, C, or D? what's your warriors clan? Enneagram? even with zodiac signs, have you looked up your Chinese and Native American zodiac signs? have you looked up how zodiac signs have shifted? have they accounted for dead stars, new stars, dwarf planets, and planets we haven't discovered yet? have you looked at just your sun sign or your moon and ascendant and all the houses?

my point being...random personality categorization is a popular thing, but it's not necessarily something I'd base my life around. How much would being a Type C Riverclan AB+ tiger deer really effect how I relate to other people? I don't know. Maybe examine why you're so attached to THIS random categorization.

I’m sorry you’re feeling bad. But think of the anxiety as an opportunity to heal through ERP. Sounds like you got a good trigger to work on

my people in relationships i have a question! i find a lot of like relationship “concepts” that we see online or just within our culture really trigger me. articles, posts, dialogue, friends pretty much anything saying things things like “outgrowing relationships” “you need to date around extensively to find the one” “you’re too young to be in love or settle down” “things my partner does” pretty much anything about advice or just other people’s situations triggers me at times and makes me question a lot!! i know this means i need more confidence in myself which im working on. i’m doing the work to separate my situation from these and i know it’s working because it feels uncomfortable, but i’m wondering if anyone young and in a relationship navigates this. i also feel like this triggering gets worse when im already anxious. recently my partner and i have been having constant spats bc im hesitant to communicate. i feel like im putting pressure on myself bc i really want this to work out to the point where i feel like idk what to do! it’s funny identifying the tricks ocd is playing on me bc i do recognize the irony here but any advice in coping or just experiences helps!!! mwah mwah happy women’s day!!!!

Longish post but please stick with me. Hi everyone. I’m just looking for a bit of insight and if anyone else has felt this. It may sound strange and I’ve not had the courage to ask this for a while…. So I’ve been with my partner (27M) for almost 3 years now, I’m (24F). He recently proposed which I was not expecting so soon. We always joked about it and when he said he looked at rings I was happy. I knew it was coming at some point but not so soon. When it happened it’s immensely triggered my ROCD. And I’m struggling with something in particular, I just want to know if anyone else has experienced it/ what the root cause could be so that I can work on it……. When he proposed it’s like my brain put a time stamp on our relationship. All of a sudden I’m counting the days of my relationship/how long I’ve been in one. It’s like my brain is “keeping track” of the amount of days/weeks that I have a relationship. It’s like my brain wants to be in a relationship for a very long time IMMEDIATELY, which is of course not possible. It’s like my brain is saying “you have to break up with him because you haven’t been together a while yet”. It makes it feel like time is going so slowly. I see couples together for 6/7years prior to my age/time and just think “how did they do it”? Same with married couples. It’s like I think “they’re lucky I wish I was at that many years already”. But at the same time, the thought of being with someone for a long time makes me feel anxious and sick and like I have to “escape” or “get out” urgently. I’ve struggled with this particularly for a month now and am just wondering if anyone else has experienced the same or similar? Or can anyone offer insight into what this really could be deep down/root causes, as I REALLY want to figure out why and where it’s coming from. Sorry for the long post. Advice appreciated ❤️✨

So the last couple of weeks I was in a super bad ROCD spiral, I was constantly looking things up and doing all the normal compulsions. Now I'm doing better, but I'm starting to wonder if that even was ROCD because I'm just thinking that maybe we're just not a great fit, but I want to be with him forever so bad. Does anyone else experience this?
