Hey, I hope you see this. I just wanna say, don’t let anyone tell you that your relationship is wrong. I have terrible ROCD as well so I can relate to this. I am also young. 18 years old. I constantly have people saying things like this. Try to remember that the only people who can decide if you and your partner should be together is you and your partner. There is no force pulling you apart. You are safe. You are in control. I highly recommend watching “Awaken Into Love” on YouTube (don’t use it as a compulsion though) they have a video about being young with ROCD. I hope you have a good rest of your day. I wish the best for you and your partner.
Excellent response. I'd add that feelings don't equal facts. You won't feel 100% excited/infatuated/content with your partner every minute of the day. In fact some days she'll piss you off, and you'll piss her off, and all sorts of other experiences. Your ROCD makes you think these moments 'mean something', but all they mean is that you're human, experiencing very normal levels of changing emotions.
Who's response are you talking about?loganriley or mattyc
@raj123 Loganriley. See what OCD is doing? Even when you get the response you're looking for, it says 'ah but maybe she means the other comment'. OCD is masterful at creating doubt.
@Lotte93 Yeahh truee that😭. Thank you so much for guiding me. I'm scared to watch awaken into love. What if it proves that I dont like my gf😭😭😭. I really likee her please😭
The poster gave you the response you wanted (which isn’t good since it’s reassurance) and yet you still freaked out. Stop seeking reassurance.
