Well what I’ve learned is that it’s okay to spot an attractive human being, we have eyes, we’re human, that’s just how it is.

I fear my ROCD turning into HOCD or SOOCD, sometimes i get worried. I asked some people about what a certain astrology placement meant and someone said it could relate to polyamory, obviously i am not polyamorous but now i cant stop thinking about it… i love awakenintolove so so much though, when i first found out about my rocd i binged every last one of her videos. are you currently with a partner?

Saaame I love awakenintolove too. She really helped with my ROCD. I have a wonderful boyfriend:) and before him, I went through a lot of relationship trauma so I think that’s how my ROCD and SOOCD manifests, because of course the thoughts didn’t start until I started dating him.

Yes yes yes heavily. I would get so scared that my boyfriend was cheating to a point where I actually thought he was. I would also get really scared that I would cheat on him!

When I dealt with ROCD so heavily astrology was my biggest trigger. Angel numbers, meaning of dreams, compatibility, etc.

are you over rocd? for me its on and off, but recently astrology and the fact i havent had much physical anxiety are my main themes. i also contribute the fact i havent seen my partner much and pms to my recent flare up 😅

@gigi12 I’m not completely over, it’s on and off for me too. But it transitioned into major SOOCD, that was once on and off but now it’s all I’ve thought about for MONTHS. There’s this account called @awakenintolove on Instagram who helps me immensely with ROCD. She put out a podcast talking about how astrology can be so triggering. I used to take everything as a sign, and when it was a bad sign I felt like my relationship was just doomed. Also PMS definitely does not help😐

no clue if this is compulsive, but I’m interested to hear any obsessions others have that aren’t the “common” ones you see online about what ROCD is? a few for me: - thoughts about their partner being with someone else instead (sometimes a specific person) and then trying to analyze your reaction to it? e.g. does it *feel* more right than us, do I actually feel happy for them, etc. - trying to imagine your partner in your current situation or maybe a specific future situation (when they’re not around) and trying to decide if they “fit” in it? - being super scared of losing them, then suddenly feeling like you don’t care much for them at all, and just constantly cycling? - I almost never fully enjoyed sex because I was constantly obsessing about whether or not I was turned on, turned on “enough,” if I was just having groinal responses and wasn’t actually turned on, looking at his face just to decide if I find him attractive enough, comparing my experience with how I feel watching content alone, etc.

Does anyone else struggle with object permanence in relationships? Like whenever my partner is out of the house I immediately think negatively or I find things wrong with the relationship or him… For background my partner and I always fight over chores (I know it’s common but it’s annoying) I definitely pull more weight than him and I think he has ADHD, which makes him struggle to help and be aware of helping. Lately we’ve been somewhat good with splitting meals and dishes whatever, I know it can change with work stress, fatigue whatever. But last week my partner was out of the house watching his uncle’s dog so he was barely home. He was sleeping over at his uncles house and would come home for meals sometimes and stuff like that. I started becoming super fixated on him not helping with the dishes before he left and would constantly feel urges to yell about it. Even though the week prior everything was good when it came to that (sometimes with my ROCD I’ll even question myself and be like was it?) so I have started 4 separate fights arguing about dishes and chores and mentioning that he doesn’t help enough and if this continues I’ll have to leave… it’s so hard for me to snap out of it and just realize that he was going back and forth and didn’t think to help because he was busy with helping his uncle. And then I get such a negative view of him in my head that I nitpick his appearance, I make comments, etc, because my underlying fear is he doesn’t care to help, he will never change, and we will fail. So it’s almost like I’m looking to have a reason to run before I actually need to? It’s a constant cycle for me and I’m truly so exhausted by myself. But also relationships are so hard for me because I struggled SO much with trying to depend on others that I almost don’t let myself depend on others…. Any advice is appreciated but also just like do you also experience this? Thank you & pls be kind 🥺🥺🥺
