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

I’ve just recently found out that Relationship OCD is a thing. I feel like I relate but it also feels like relationship trauma. I’m in a fairly new relationship and I keep telling myself that things are going great, we are good, he cares for me, but does he? There’s this unbelievable amount of self doubt that sits in me because of what my ex did to me many months ago. I kept getting told that I do too much, i smother, need constant reassurance, then got told that I don’t care enough, the things I do aren’t enough and that I’m not enough. I feel like I am waiting for the day that I get broken up with because of these “problems” just so I can be proven right at the fact that I should be considered unlovable. I go through this every month around my period because I get so emotional and nervous that I stress over the idea that he doesn’t like me. How does someone continue a relationship with Relationship OCD? How do I explain it?

I'm struggling really hard with relationship obsessions. Do I really love my partner? How can I know? Am I really just faking it? That kind of thing. It's making my life and relationship a lot harder than they need to be. I could use a few helpful coping mechanisms, trying to move away from less helpful ones like chasing reassurance.

I'm 18, and been in a relationship with my man for nearly 2 years. I started living with him around 2 months ago, and all I do is think about if he's cheating. We were long distance for a year and a half of our relationship, maybe seeing eachother once every month or two. I decided to move in with him, and ever since all I can think about is if he's cheating or watching porn. When he's in another room I think he's doing something wrong, I have to check on him every ten minutes to ease my anxiety. I didn't have this problem before moving in. Granted he has talked to some girls on his phone, even having his ex on his phone (didn't do anything bad) and he is porn addicted though he is getting better for me. It's gotten so bad I want to leave him. A couple days ago I broke up with him and it absolutely broke my heart, I couldn't bare it so I gave him a month to show me he can do better, and for me to work on myself. If I'm still unhappy with us I'm going to leave. I love this boy more than anything. I'm scared to be without him, this is my first real relationship. At this point I refuse to even sleep until he is sleeping. I don't want to start over, I don't want to leave him, but I really can't take this pain it's causing me. It's all I think about. I've convinced myself so many times that he's cheating, but I know he wouldn't. I question whether it's anxiety or intuition. Maybe I just know deep down he really is cheating and I just don't want to believe it. I don't know. I don't think he would do that, but at the same time he's really into women. I hate that he looks at other girls in a sexual way, it bothers me so much, and we talk about it often, but with it being an addiction it's difficult. He has gotten a lot better since we have talked about it. He understands I have an issue and is usually happy to talk about it over and over and promise me over and over that he's not cheating. He allows me to have his phone whenever I want and everything, I have no reason to think he's cheating, but I can't get over it. It's not fair to him either. How do I deal with this? How do I stop hurting so much?
