I was doing better until a few days ago. I have ROCD and I keep thinking that my boyfriend and I aren’t right for each other. In some way we don’t match despite me not thinking this before the ROCD kicked in. I went from thinking we were a perfect match to for without reason thinking differently. But I have to remind myself it’s ROCD and as long as your happy then that’s it. That’s all you have to worry about.

What makes you think you aren’t right for each other? Yeah I have the same thing! Never thought these things before ROCD! I always wonder what happiness is in a relationship with ROCD when I constantly question every small detail about our relationship! But my boyfriend loves me, respects me, treats me well, would do anything for me and we have a lot in common. Try not to reassure yourself, but it’s okay to remember that our relationships aren’t all doom and gloom and love isn’t always a feeling it’s a choice!

@Pauline421 it’s just think little voice in me that has no grounds to stand on that says oh no, it feels like we’re not suppose to be together. It’s SO annoying. And YES I relate. The constant questioning and the not understanding what happiness or love is, is soooooooo Infuriating .

@Anxiousashley have you ever had any other type of OCD apart from ROCD? And ugh it sucks! You can really love someone and be so good together but OCD doesn’t care! The doubting and questioning is soo tough, it made me seriously depressed a few months ago.

I ask because I have dealt with HOCD in the past and I was wondering if you ever did too. But I definitely deal with religious. And I’m not familiar with blushing ocd! What is it? I was just diagnosed in May but I’ve had OCD all my life I just didn’t know what it was! So I’m definitely still learning

@chancie blushing ocd is what I call it. It’s when you think something like “omg what if I blush when this person is talking to me? Then ppl with think that I have feelings for them when I don’t” and then it usually ends up making me blush because I’m embarrassed. I haven’t dealt with HOCD but it definitely sounds like it sucks! I’ve had ocd my whole life and I want to learn as much as I can about it. I’d love to become an OCD specialist someday

I have the same thing. It’s horrible. It makes me so sad. Mine kicked in about 4 years ago and it’s been hard ever since. My husband understands and is very supportive. It still makes me feel so bad that I have these thoughts

I have had harm ocd religious ocd of course Rocd and blushing ocd and also food ocd. The fear of what if I don’t really like food?

That would be wonderful! I hope you do! It’s such a misunderstood disorder.
