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.
can ROCD make you feel like you don’t love him? i do love him and even on good days there’s always has anxious feeling in me that brings on the what if’s and makes me feel like i don’t want to be with him. i have been diagnosed but i still question if i want to be with him. there was a time in my life where this was not even a question and i knew that he was the one i wanted to be with but my theme switched to ROCD a couple months ago and it feels like i’ll never be the same
Please does anyone else have the same thoughts and feelings as I do who suffer with ROCD (bearing in mind I love my boyfriend, he’s the kindest most loving boy and I love him with all my heart) we spend all day laughing with eachother! I’m constantly like: You don’t love him, this isn’t right with him, you’re horrible for stringing him along, break up with him, break up with him, did you ever actually love him, you’re probably a lesbian, you don’t find him attractive, there’s nothing between you two Then in other moments when I’m not feeling this I literally could cry with how amazing he is! 😢🙈
I continue to get distressing thoughts surrounding my love for my boyfriend and if we are going to work out and are meant to be together because he is of different religious beliefs, and I grew up hearing that doesn’t work in relationships. We have been together nearly two years. I know I love him, and he supports my beliefs and I support him, we have had conversations about it. but my brain goes through intense periods of hyper focusing on the anxiety surrounding it, making me feel like I am going to hurt him, or we are going to break up because of me and our differences. It’s very distressing and I ruminate a lot about him and try to calm myself down by thinking through the situation, a mental compulsion? I know worrying about your partner is normal but I feel like I hyper fixate on the compatability between us and me hurting him and I don’t know if it’s ROCD or if it means we aren’t compatible. It’s upsetting.
