i always get the same intrusive thoughts that i should be with someone else even though i don’t want anyone else and i just want to love my partner but it feels like i can’t because of stupid things some may say are “flaws” that i used to not give a damn about it is so so annoying. i think my least favorite theme is partner focused ones because i can handle relationship ones, but as soon as they are about him as a person i freak out

I’ve heard about relationship vs partner.. I can’t tell what mine is! i think it’s more relationship .. or myself? Is that an option? Lol .. I feel like I’m the damaged one and that I’m therefore ruining the relationship and such.. but I’m sure that must be so hard for you. You are so strong

My ROCD is very me focused and my relationship. There are times when I am not giving power or compulsions to the thought, that it will switch and I will have partner focused. But mine is doubting my own want and love for my relationship. I have a very healthy, supportive, same values and beliefs as my partner. He is my person and the one thing I can count on. Each time I have doubts or thoughts they are not backed by anything they are just random thoughts. So I guess that’s my experience of trying to get past the idea that this is what I really want and instead realizing that safe relationships are a threat to OCD and ocd will do whatever it takes to make you believe you need to run. They make your relationship feel as if it is wrong, unloving or a danger. I hope this helps. Also my main compulsions is mental checking and ruminating, these are two hard ones to stop.

i feel this 1000% .. it seems my OCC says to me.. “girl do you even have OCD? these thoughts seem pretty important to just be something to not pay attention to.. what if this isn’t OCD and there is something really wrong!” .. OCD and anxiety seem to really hate safe relationships and want to pick on every small thing to make it a problem

@Klynn2700 This happens to so many people with OCD. As we start to do ERP our brain gets threatened with something new, new is uncertain so it will do anything in its power to get you back to doubting. It’s is the doubting disease.

@JoyGarrk99 ERP is difficult sometimes for me. I find some weeks that ERP works well because OCD and compulsions have been quite clear.. but now that my therapy is every two weeks now, I feel like so much of my OCD is purely just thoughts and anxiety, with very sneaky/minimal compulsions. It’s hard to track them!

Mine is very partner focused. It doesn't help that I am insecurely attached so our dating relationship was very stressful. And I have tons of misinformation about our relationship to "back it up".

please help me
can someone with this theme help me i’m so scared and i can’t stop having panic attacks is this OCD??? So i always have struggled most with sucicidal ocd and harm ocd. i never really had any other themes. but recently ive struggled with SOOCD. My whole life i have never EVER been into girls ever and i could never even think of ever being with a girl in my entire life. i’m having extreme amounts of anxiety and i have compulsions to make sure i look at a girl and don’t feel anything towards them or anything. My mind is literally going “what if your just in denial” or “what if you’ve just been hiding it all these years” When i know i haven’t. i have all of the symptoms of SOOCD and i still know that im not gay,but these thoughts are extremely distressing and have been the worse to deal with. I’m constantly panicking and doing compulsions to get these thoughts to leave and they won’t. i’m scared and these thoughts are making my mind scared. What if i’m going against my morals and i’m lying to myself like and i just went through a tough breakup too so that is shooting these thoughts and anxiety. Please help omg!!!

Question
So with my theme of ocd, ( hocd ) I get persistent intrusive images, and thoughts. It’s not like one or two a day. Like if I’m out for the whole day they’re constant. I feel I can’t even look at a girl now without her intrusive thoughts about her or about me fancying her and even sexual intrusive thoughts.. It’s awful. It’s everywhere I look. Is this common with ocd with any themes? Like is it constant for you guys too?
