I haven’t fully over come it but I’m almost there, it used to consume my every thought and now I rarely think about it. I done it by realizing that no-one is perfect & whenever I get an intrusive thought I just agree with it or For eg. If I think in my head he isn’t attractive I would say “but I love him so it doesn’t matter’’ or if I think “he isn’t the one for me” I’ll say “oh well of course there could be someone else, I don’t care because atm I’m with him” My main thing is don’t try to change him & don’t give in to the compulsions. Just accept him by always telling yourself “oh well” type thoughts

This may be due to you not feeling good enough to be in a relationship or low self esteem that your mind will cause trouble. Ask yourself want you really want . What do I want ? Do I really want to be with him ? If yes then you are in control and you are good enough just relax and let things flow. Only break up with someone if they are not being nice to you or have hurt your feelings purposely.

I honestly think ROCD is the result of thinking love is everything & more than what it is. Movies are all based on love & songs too. We have been fed this image that love is this strong feeling and everything is perfect when in reality that’s just lust, it doesn’t last long. Real love is what you feel towards ur family (if u love ur family) and that is the way you should feel about the person you are dating, you love them but they are NOT perfect, just like you love ur mum or sister or dad, they are not perfect, they are not the best looking, they aren’t geniuses, they are not flawless but you love them anyway. Take the pressure off your partner to be perfect and you can enjoy your relationship. If you didn’t love him you would leave . :) I’ve dealt with it and overcome ROCD (for the most part) and I realised the reason I focused on him so much was because I wasn’t happy in my self and I thought he has to make me happy. Good luck :!

I do want to be with him but this is anxiety is ruining everything. I have zero sex drive whatsoever and that is obviously not going down very well at all.

@sn22pb I've been in the same situation not feeling sexual toward them. It took me while to realise I just wasn't ready for a relationship maybe i wanted one but for me I wasn't ready I was young didn't really know what I wanted as you get older things may become more clear with experiences. But I think in your relationship you may be feeling too comfortable to want to be sexual or you could actually not be attracted to them because they are too easy if that makes sense. When someone is playing hard to get you want them more but when people are just there when ever you want it's a bit boring let's say. So maybe you could be bored but that does not mean you don't love them. I think the best thing to do what I did is to be patient see if you feel differently overtime.

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.

I'm 18, and been in a relationship with my man for nearly 2 years. I started living with him around 2 months ago, and all I do is think about if he's cheating. We were long distance for a year and a half of our relationship, maybe seeing eachother once every month or two. I decided to move in with him, and ever since all I can think about is if he's cheating or watching porn. When he's in another room I think he's doing something wrong, I have to check on him every ten minutes to ease my anxiety. I didn't have this problem before moving in. Granted he has talked to some girls on his phone, even having his ex on his phone (didn't do anything bad) and he is porn addicted though he is getting better for me. It's gotten so bad I want to leave him. A couple days ago I broke up with him and it absolutely broke my heart, I couldn't bare it so I gave him a month to show me he can do better, and for me to work on myself. If I'm still unhappy with us I'm going to leave. I love this boy more than anything. I'm scared to be without him, this is my first real relationship. At this point I refuse to even sleep until he is sleeping. I don't want to start over, I don't want to leave him, but I really can't take this pain it's causing me. It's all I think about. I've convinced myself so many times that he's cheating, but I know he wouldn't. I question whether it's anxiety or intuition. Maybe I just know deep down he really is cheating and I just don't want to believe it. I don't know. I don't think he would do that, but at the same time he's really into women. I hate that he looks at other girls in a sexual way, it bothers me so much, and we talk about it often, but with it being an addiction it's difficult. He has gotten a lot better since we have talked about it. He understands I have an issue and is usually happy to talk about it over and over and promise me over and over that he's not cheating. He allows me to have his phone whenever I want and everything, I have no reason to think he's cheating, but I can't get over it. It's not fair to him either. How do I deal with this? How do I stop hurting so much?

My psychologist tells me because my thoughts are based off of facts/ broken boundaries which is why I am having thoughts of am i in love , am I settling , and feeling guilty I should let him go to find someone who wouldn’t doubt him that I do not have rocd. She states rocd is intrusive , irrational thoughts not based off of real facts and I may have ptsd not ocd. He kissed someone else before we were official and he finds a certain type of female attractive that I find disgusting . So I spin about these issues all day long to the point I’m so unhappy with him and had to break up . It’s been over a month now but I’m still severely anxious and depressed The thing is I can’t stop thinking about this 24/7 with severe anxiety and depression and nothing is helping me . Can someone please tell me their thoughts
