Dude wow, we are literally going through the same thing. I always feel like, what if i see her and dont hug her, or dont like her company. What if she texts and i dont like it. I even dont like it when she texts sometimes. Its almost like, oh god why is she texting. The only thing which has helped me in past 2 days is something similar to what Keliz said. Just accept the thoughts and see ur anxiety go down. Like when u get a text from her. Just accept the fact that oh god its causing me anxiety and i dont like it when she texts. Trust me i didnt want to accept them at first either but after i started i just felt a lot more better and in control.

So me and this girl have been friends since we were kids and in the last six years we've grown extremely close we liked each other three years ago but nothing happened and this year I told her I liked her and she said she liked me back, we decided to wait until September because it was a better time to start going out, I haven't seen her in ages because she's been away and has work but recently things between us have been off, we can't keep a conversation going we tend to fight a lot more now and recently rocd has hit me hard saying things like "what if I don't like her anymore" "what if I don't want to be with her and want to be with any other girl" "what if the next time I see her I'm just going to be thinking I want to leave I don't like her" and these thoughts make me extremely sad and anxious and I just feel sick because I can't lose this girl she means so much to me

I hear ya! I too struggle with ROCD so this sounds incredibly familiar to me. It sounds like she is important to you. It also sounds like you don’t have the answer to those thoughts you are having. My therapist has encouraged me to respond to similar thoughts (similar to what you are describing) by saying something to yourself like - “I hear you. Thanks for bringing that up, mind, but I don’t have that answer right now. I’m going to return to doing what I am doing right now”. I could be wrong but it sounds like you want to explore things with this person. So each time you worry, remind yourself that you are choosing to explore this right now. You are choosing commitment to this option right now. And that is all you need to know. I hope this helps and pls choose to dismiss if it doenst :)

She means so much to me and now I've developed rocd with her I've realized that more than ever, I've had it before with a girl but the only reason it went away was because we broke up, but with this girl it's so much different because I hate this I want things to go back to the way they were

Don’t give up :) you got this! I always had a reason to break up with people I was dating in the past so I didn’t realize what I was dealing with was ROCD. My current partner made me realize I needed to get better because I still feel the same way with him even tho he is the best person I have dated. I’m working on this with you! It’s hard work but my guess is that it’s completely worth it

Those thoughts are gonna be there sometimes. As hard as it is, maybe you can respond with - maybe I care maybe I don’t, and then try your best to return to your true values which is getting back to doing whatever it is you were doing. And returning back to being present with exploring you and her.

We text everyday so now when we're talking or her name shows up it used to be pure excitement and joy and now it's guilt and anxiety because I feel like I'm lying to myself and her

I was just thinking that we agreed to become official in September but now I'm thinking mhm well we don't really see each other a lot so maybe it isn't a good idea and I thought "I wouldn't care if we did or not" so now I'm panicking

flare up please respond
Hey guys, I am having the worst HARM OCD episode I have had in a while. I am having disgusting, awful intrusive thoughts about harming others. It feels so real. It feels as if I am about to get up and just do it. The worst bit about it all Is I know I feel distressed and panicked. But where the thoughts are actually happening ( in my head) doesnt feel this feeling. This is making it feel worse as it really does feel like Im just going to do it. I am crying my eyes out because I know im petrified and dont want to hurt anyone im so scared. I have this terrible intrusive feeling in my that feels like its justifying the thoughts. Please can someone talk as I am scared Im crying I dont want know what to do I want this feeling gone I am so scared. I tell myself Id kill myself before hurting anyone else, but would i ? What if I actually do want to kill Please respond Im so scared

I need you people😞!
please i need someone to share experiences... - that a certain facial expression of a person to whom ocd is attached causes a lot of thoughts that are connected to that facial expression, and that the images in your head are very detailed, and that they have a sound, words, and that you have a feeling of some kind of crawling from the groin all over your body?

Can someone please help me?
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
