Me too. Mine is causing major jealousy/insecurity/trust issues in my relationship. It’s so hard. We got this though!

Me too I have thoughts I might be cheated on, lied, betrayed. I always feel like there's something hidden behind what I see and my mind works on loops to find the truth and the answer. It's exhausting and torturing in a level I feel I can't go on fighting it anymore. When I don't have these thoughts I just have this anxiety and bad mood for no apparent reason. It feels never ending really....

@zoed I feel you completely! My partner made a mistake the other weekend (no cheating involved) but it has made me spiral ever since. So bad that I accused him of cheating bc he had the same type of water that I know he ex wife buys. It’s crazy to even say that now. I’m also 8 months pregnant so my hormones are insane!!!

I can totally relate to this. We get crazy thoughts and believe in them because of our Rocd. When I was pregnant my Rocd was really worse and felt like I was alert all day long... Because of this my pregnancy didn't give me good memories. Try to let these thoughts pass as you know it is Rocd issue. I wish we could make it one day and feel better accepting the fact we have Ocd and we can go through this

Reading this post reassures me a lot knowing i’m not the only one with this issue. I can only imagine if I were pregnant I would be the same. It’s already bad enough every month when my period comes around, sometimes even more so around ovulation for some reason. Anyways, something I thought I might share is that sometimes these thoughts could also be a reflection of other things such as insecurities, low-self esteem, fear of abandonment, insecure attachment styles and trauma. When you see it in this light, it is no wonder that we are struggling given there are many factors at play. Let’s try be easier on ourselves. One of my theories in life is if something keeps popping up, it means the universe is asking you to see it. When we constantly look outside of ourself and blame it for how we feel, we will always end up back to square one. Remember the problem is never the situation but how we view the situation ☺️

I absolutely agree. I’m starting therapy on Tuesday, and I really want to work on me because I do feel like my attachment style, and being cheated on previously has impacted my ability to trust greatly! I tend to forget all the positives, such as my fiancé and I already talking about another baby and our future together! In the moment it’s so hard for those positives to outweigh my ruminating

Today I tried to resist compulsions and stay as calm as I can but then Rocd attacked me again in a massive way. I kind of feel like my mind is foggy and messed up.most of the time so get triggered seems easy. Every little thing I hear and seems suspicious I will overanalyze it for hours because I am so afraid of being betrayed, dumped or someone do something bad behind my back. These thoughts have stuck inside my mind in such a level where my days are spent like that. When I get an intrusive thought it feels so catastrophic and horrible that I feel I can't do anything. I am stuck there thinking and analysing. It is so difficult to handle it, I feel so scared and alone in this...

ROCD
Does ROCD every start to make you feel and perceive life, or your spouse and the things important to you through this really wierd, unsettling kind of filter or perception? And you just feel resistant, distracted, repulsed and almost like you don’t care but also do. It’s hard. I feel very unfamiliar. It’s like you just don’t want to try when you think I about making action, but you also want to. Ugh. What do you do? Has things changed for you? I wish I could describe this better but I can’t.

Rocd back door spike...
I suffer from severe Rocd and recently try harder to do new things for my improvement such as study a course, go to the gym, get out more. The first few days I felt really good, having mild rocd symptoms but being in a good general state. I felt proud and hopeful. As the days went by, Rocd started coming back with horrible thoughts bombarding me in many different ways. I started doubting again, questioning my relationship with my husband, feeling scared and terrible. Yesterday it escalated with me having a serious Rocd episode crying, screaming and feeling it will never end. It felt like I started from zero again. It's like Rocd wants me back where I was, like being happy is bad and my destiny is to feel numb and scared...why does it come back so bad after a seemingly beautiful period??? I hate going back there , living the nightmare again and again...i felt so hopeless and alone experiencing Rocd all over again...any advice guys for this situation????
