Thank you, this is a new one that just started for me. Thanks for the hope best of luck to you and your relationship!
Yeah cause it’s more so cause you’re like ocd is making you wonder how much you love him if at all.. ya know
I also focus on the positive things he says, "he's here for me, he's excited about our anniversary in 2 weeks". Focus on the positive facts. His actions, his words, it helps to reinforce his feelings about me and he's by my side no matter what
Thank you so much Dylynn
You're welcome! Idk if you can reach out to people on here, but between me, you and Shaz, we can become a great support team, since we are working on the same ocd.
Ayyy I'd love to, as I'm new in all this and really need support and I'd love some companionship with people who are going thru what I'm going.
I think that’s a great idea!
I Agree! So grateful to have met you ladies and we all know exactly how each other is feeling it’s incredible ??
Oh my gosh yes. This is what I'm currently going through. It is a tough journey, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel since I've started working on it
Thank you! If you could use some tips and strategies, I'd be more than willing to help.
Yeah actually what helped you get over it
Oh man yeah I get that too!
And it's like only me who wants their bf to cheat lol. I've never seen anyone suffering rocd think this way.. i absolutely hate this... Then I'll think things like oh i hope he gets other girls attention.. which disturbs me....
I told my husband last week that I knew he was talking to another woman. I even stated I was okay with it, because I'm so lost in my head, that I understood he needed a level headed person to communicate with. After stating those words, it tore me up. So I get up and walk around my block when I see him getting on his phone. Work through my mind that it's an intrusive thought and he's not talking to anyone
Omg no I deal with that too. The whole crying bit. Really all you can do is dig deep not when your in an anxious state and decide if you want to be with him or not. Like it’s super hard but imagine your life with out them...
Cari, no he's not. My brain sees it that way. He's getting worse out on proving it to me, and I see it, to where I realized my ocd is out of control
Same here. It's been wonderful talking with you ladies, we're not in this alone. There are others whom are going through the same thing and I can see this as a great way to start focusing on us. Definitely needed companionship for us! ?
?? definitely! Nothing is impossible for us. Stay strong and fight thru it. Idk if we can share personal information on here but we should definitely make a support chat group or something like that.. just an idea. But yeah i loved talking and opening up to you guy. Thank you for listening and talking. Lots of love. <3
YES my is so bad I know he is at work and I would call and text him until he rwsponsw
I do! But then this monster in my head tells me that it's good that he's cheating. You'll get ur escape and leave him.. idkk what's real at this point because I'm just confused.
You do!!???
So he isn’t actually talking to anyone right?
Yeah. Today we had this huge disagreement and I kept on saying break up breakup. And my bf was like calm down, take that anger and sadness out of you, and tell me what you want. And i cried and said this relationship. Then after I'm done crying, my mind goes like dang it! U had ur chance to escape... And suddenly I'll regret that why didn't i just break up... Or everytime i cry, my mind will tell me that I'm just acting to cry!!!!. Oops lol that got off topic but is this normal or rocd related? Because I'm self diagnosed so I don't really know.
Do any of you men have the kind of ROCD where your OCD makes you think your girlfriend might be doing something sexual with another man? The intrusive thoughts are torturous. It would be nice to know I’m not the only one who suffers like this.
Anybody married with ROCD?
Rocd! Anyone else ever have a worry that they’d rather be with their ex? I don’t actually think it, but I worry that I would want that, and then I feel guilty, like my minds already made up. It gets me super anxious and upset. Makes me feel as if I’ve betrayed the girl I just married, and that my life is ruined. Now. I would never leave her, I don’t want to leave her, I don’t want to lose her, and I certainly don’t want to go back to my ex. But my mental obsessing over that scenario is driving me crazy, and causing me to doubt myself.
