Hi!, thanks for replying. I've been panicking and thinking that I have cheated on my boyfriend at some point while spending time with my friends. Most of my friends are my sister's friends. We all joke around and bully each other. They're online friends btw we text on discord. I have this guy friend that I used to have a crush on but I never acted on my feelings/thoughts. I always tried to consider him as my brother because he has helped me a lot when I was going through a hard time because of my rocd. My boyfriend knows about my rocd too but I don't wanna bother him with it right now. My guy friend also considers me as his sis, but my sis once was like " he probably had a crush on you at some point since you guys are the same age " my family doesn't know about my relationship YET, but I would laugh and be like " well, I consider him as a brother " she was like it's normal if he really did have a crush on you. I didn't really say much about that. But my guy friend is really supportive he has a gf too, my brain is convincing me that I still have a crush on him and I vent to him because I like him which is not true.

Yesterday, I vented to my guy friend because I was at my limit. My boyfriend has been so busy so I'm not venting to him. My guy friend gave me some advice and I kept saying thank you I really appreciate it. We always text on discord but then he said yk I haven't been using discord that much so if you want to talk you can text me on insta, you don't have to follow me there I don't want to trigger your ocd and you can delete your messages so it doesnt trigger you. I was like it's okay im okay with following you on insta you're like my brother after all then he said you can do you I just don't want to be a reason that makes you feel bad.

@joy M And when he said I don't want to be a reason that makes you feel bad, my ocd HIT. I was like what if I still like him. Sometimes I really wish he was my real brother, cuz if he was my real brother my ocd wouldn't have bothered me whenever I vented to him.

And saying that I used to have a crush on him makes me feel guilty.

It’s great to see you both have similar boundaries and are comfortable with each other having friends of the opposite gender, shows how much trust you have in one another. Hope it works out for you!

is this ocd??
Hi everyone, I’ve already been diagnosed with OCD, and I strongly suspect that I’ve developed a ROCD pattern. I wanted to share a specific situation that just won’t leave me alone – even though it’s objectively been cleared up. I’m in a relationship with a man who is, by nature, a very transparent, honest, and loyal person. Rationally, I know I can trust him. Recently, he got a phone call while I was with him. I asked him to check who it was. He hesitated briefly and then checked kind of slowly – the number wasn’t saved. To me, the whole thing just felt a bit strange. It didn’t seem like “open behavior,” even though he told me afterward that he simply didn’t have the energy to deal with it, since he had generally had a bad day. The problem is: Even after this explanation – which makes sense – the thoughts won’t go away. I keep replaying the situation in my head, analyzing his reaction, wondering if that hesitation meant something – even though I know he didn’t do anything wrong. I feel like I need to bring it up again to feel at ease. But I also know that would only bring temporary relief, and then the cycle would start all over again. It feels just like other OCD loops – only this time, it’s centered around my relationship. Have any of you experienced something like this? How do you stop yourself from falling into the reassurance trap over and over again? I don’t want to overwhelm or hurt my partner unnecessarily – I just want to learn how to manage this inner tension better. did it sound like ocd?? Rocd?? Thanks for reading. It really helps to know I’m not alone. (edited)
