Rocd

@Yali<3 Iv been there too where I’m so hurt inside that I took it out on others and it wasn’t there fault. In my case no one knows that I’m dealing with this. If your partner knows about it explain to him that your going through something that’s hard on you. He should understand

Yes stop thinking those situations my friend and have a heart to heart with him. I pray he understand you. I'm overcoming over thinking and don't like to disappoint people

@Yali<3 You haven't told anybody about your dealings why not

@smilesforall I don’t think they’d understand…they’d think I’d just need to break up with him but it’s not that simple. I don’t want to I know he’s for me and that I love him but others won’t see it that way. I don’t want to be judged

@Yali<3 You don't think they understand why would you want to break up with him. If they judge who cares . They judge you either way good or bad. I know your a strong woman

@smilesforall I grew up with a mother who was very opinionated on everything. She doesn’t believe that anxiety and depression is real let alone ocd. Sometimes it’s better to keep things to myself and talk to strangers who will understand more than anyone I personally know. It’s a very complex thing for sure

@Yali<3 That is not good thank you for sharing your heart with me. I don't take that lightly. I don't want anybody to be hurt by someone or by there words. I meet people every day and I want to spread love and joy to all i encounter as yourself. I'm a server and I enjoy it. I will always be here for you

@Yali<3 It may sound complex, but if you have a real friend or friends who have been with you through other times, I feel it may be a freeing experience to share with someone close to you so they can understand you better and you even have the benefit of coming to them about advice if its bothering you. If you do not have a friend who would be there for you over something like this, it may be time to rethink who you hold close to you in a group. You should not have to worry about whether or not a friend will accept you. If they are a friend then they will. If not, I guarantee you, there are friends everywhere for you. More than just the strangers on here.

@smilesforall Thank you for understanding and thank you for helping others :)

@Yali<3 Very much welcome. If you ever need to talk just send me a message may I ask where are you located

@Anonymous Your right, I do have a good friend who will understand but every time I think of talking about it I back out because my head tells me she won’t understand and she’ll let everyone know I’m in a relationship I’m not sure about. My partner doesn’t Know about it and reason being is that I don’t wanna hurt him. He doesn’t deserve that and he might understand but it would still hurt him and I can’t do that to him. I can tell my friend and I can live with out her if she doesn’t understand. But I know for a fact that my partner is the one person that I can’t be without.

@smilesforall I’m from California, how about yourself?

@Yali<3 I'm from cali as well lol but live in ga. I might go visit for Christmas time.

@Yali<3 I live on the border of Georgia and Tennessee. I work in Tennessee

@Yali<3 Having rocd isn’t something that’s offensive to others. It’s a condition, one that your partner should understand. Especially if they are your partner. I was sure to tell my partner about my ocd when we began our relationship so that I could explain why I act a bit odd sometimes. However therapy has been helping tremendously. Moving on to my addiction therapy next which I am happy about. Id say you should think of a time and a place, talk to your boyfriend and let them know that there’s something you’ve been dealing with that you’d like to share with them. Remember, OCD is not you, it is only the thoughts in your head. Those thoughts are not what you believe, they are only there to make you doubt yourself and the type of person you are. It can be hard to separate what we think from OCD and what we believe at times, but with time and practice, it will become easier to separate. One good tip I’ve found is, if I have a thought that makes me uncomfortable, it’s most likely OCD, not me or who I truly am. I hope this helps, and I wish you luck with your situation.
