Are these reassurances for rocd? 1. When I feel that I've lost intrest in my gf, I think if I have interest in other girls and it's a no everytime which makes me relieved that its rocd 2. I check if I'm anxious by checking my heart rate Pls help me so that I can work on it. I have soocd too but it is negligible now. Rocd has taken over but I'm still not sure if its rocd😭😭😭😭

I check if I'm anxious to prove that its ocd. I think that if i have anxiety, its ocd and if I'm not anxious, it isnt ocd

@raj123 Thats definitely a compulsion

@moonstar Like I had developed soocd in june. At the start, I was very anxious but after like a week, I felt I was not as anxious as a person with ocd should be so I would measure my heart rate again and again while having intrusive thoughts. I guess my soocd is soooo better after I got into a relationship. But now i think i have caught rocd😭😭

@raj123 I developed rocd and then soocd later. They go hand and hand more often than not. I’m really sorry you’re dealing with this I completely understand where you’re coming from you’re not alone

@moonstar But what if this is not rocd. Have I really lost intrest in my partner. Like I'm 16 now and much mature. When i was 13, i had 2 relationships, I got bored of both of them within a month cuz I was only looking for "sex" which I feel guilty about now. Since then, I kept wondering why I always get bored so easily while others are having relationships for years. But now when I'm 16, I think I really love my gf and I have also imagined a future with her. It's not even been a month now and all of this is happening. Is this rocdd😭😭😭

@raj123 You’re still really young. I’m 23 and I know what its like to have your first more serious relationships at that age. I can’t tell you wether or not if its ROCD or not because that is giving you reassurance. What I can tell you is that OCD attacks things you care about the most. I had a lot of trauma growing up especially with relationships with were extremely emotionally abusive. My boyfriend now is what i’ve been looking for my entire life. He’s everything I want and more. I learned I had OCD when I got with him. I am in the process of rewriting my brain being in a healthy stable relationship. Just because you did something in your past does not mean thats who you are today. I’ve changed so many times over the years and can say i’m a completely different person than I was when I was 16. My best advice I can give to you is doing ERP. Work with a therapist and work on beating this as early as possible. I wish I got the help right away when I realized I had OCD.
