Question
Does ROCD try to convince its not ROCD and it’s your real thoughts and feelings even though you know it isn’t?

Yup!!! Think of it as a bully. ROCD is trying to convince you that issues exist where they don’t. Treatment is the way to go to quiet the bully. A big part of the struggle is that people think “what if this isn’t a disorder but just an actual bad relationship I’m attached to or afraid to end”. I guess these thoughts are what make the struggle so debilitating. If it were easy to convince yourself it’s just a disorder and not real, professional treatment probably wouldn’t be necessary.

yes!! it tries to sike yourself out. the reason this thought is bothering you so much is because you feel guilty of even thinking of it. I did some reading and a psychologist stated that many with OCD equate having the intrusive thought to performing the intrusive thought. so even if you have not done it and only have thought it, you still feel terrible as if it has all come true. im going through the same thing. i try to remind myself that it’s not what I want like saying it out loud. hopefully this helps a bit

ROCD? Please read 🙏
I’m so terrified that my feelings are not a product of ROCD and are actually real. They feel real, I think they are, and it makes me mad because I just want to be in a happy relationship but then I have a really real thought that picks apart every aspect of my partner: what he looks like, how he sounds, how he acts, how weird he is, his intelligence, his emotional state, etc. recently it’s been really sad because I feel critical towards him doing normal things like feeling exited, or trying to be funny, or making jokes, or even him being vulnerable and crying. I feel so judgemental and it feels so real, like that’s how I really feel, and maybe I do think he’s a little weird but I don’t want that to stop me from loving him. And I feel like it’s bad for be to think and feel all these things. I don’t want to let these thoughts take over my life and ruin all the growth that him and I have done together, but it honestly feel like that’s how I really feel some days, and idk if it’s ROCD.
