My worst nightmare came true ! I went to my doctors as my nocd therapist said I may do well on medication , despite being diagnosed with ROCD by my therapist and having every single symptom I’ve read about my doctor claims I don’t have ROCD and I am just in a relationship that probably isn’t right for me. I don’t agree with her I know deep down I love my boyfriend but this has caused me immense anxiety .

I believe that you know your feelings better than anybody. If you think your doctor does not have the full understanding of your thoughts and feelings, you can always change your doctor.

Thats like my worst fear coming true.

Thanks all for your comments it’s been a rough evening after this appointment aha !

This really angers me ... Way back - when I was newly married 4 years ; I had a really bad panic attack ... I didn't know I had OCD either at the time... I saw a basic CBT Therapist, instead of helping me cope with the Panic attack... She immediately attacked my relationship with my husband. Basically in so many words; she said to divorce him ; that he was the reason behind my attacks.. - I was in a complete state of shock ; since I didn't go to see her about my relationship - I went for panic... I saw therapist after therapist to reassure me that my panic was not about my marriage or relationship with my husband. I was young , and impressionable; and thought since she was a Dr. she knew best. THANKGOD I had the strength to know better. 32 years later, it dawned on me; she was using her power to manipulate me, and that; she was the one with the relationship issue , not me. ... you know in your heart that his has nothing to do with him..... YOU have OCD... and it plays Mind Games. Don't let what she said to you as the truth ... it is not the truth. Maybe she's just jealous you have someone to love; and maybe she's miserable. So shes putting her misery on you .... Chin up!! DUMP HER -- dont waste anymore time; Find another Dr. Hope this helps. I would make sure you say something to your NOCD Therapist about this encounter. PS: we are still married _ soon to be 38 years!

I’m soo glad to have read your comment ! and congrats on being married for 38 years I wish you all the happiness ❤️ I know in my heart my doubts and fears in my relationship are not rational as I would NOT cry over it ever day for over a year but keep pushing on , I’m not that type of person I am very strong and if I am fighting through the battles in my mind it’s cause deep down I know how much I love him. What she said has just increased my anxiety.
