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
Is rocd just imaginary thoughts what ifs with no real reason ? Or could you have rocd with real relationship issues that do bother you in your relationship also ? Even before rocd symptoms started ? Like betrayal or a potential deal breaker ? Constantly thinking about the betrayal and one other thing which is making me question love and compatibility so I’m not sure if it’s just the wrong relationship or rocd

Help
I feel like my Rocd has become more sophisticated. It’s made me feel as if my healthy loving boyfriend is this terrible person. Or I’ll be thinking to myself like “I love him”, and in middle thought I get “no you don’t”. It’s convinced me that our values and beliefs are just TOO different (we’ve only disagreed on one thing in our relationship, but we talk it out). It’s like my ocd is clinging on to every reason why I should break up, like I don’t want this anymore, even tho I do! It’s frustrating. And the idea of doing erp terrifies me. Because I’m afraid if I do erp statements, that I’ll agree with them. Can someone give insight

ROCD
Can ROCD make your thoughts and feelings feel 100% true or real???? Like I can have a thought or feeling and in that moment it feels real or should it not feel real until the ocd latches onto it?
