just curious for those struggling with ROCD and HOCD: what are some of your intrusive thoughts ?

@Jo ROCD is short for Relationship OCD , which is when your OCD attaches itself to your relationship and you always question and ruminate about whether or not the relationship is right for you. it can vary for everyone , but in my case I obsess about my partner’s “flaws” and I also spend a lot of time worrying about how long our relationship will last. I know this explanation is not the best, but if you have any questions please ask :)

Interesting question @loonatic!

Are you asking as a form of reassurance?

@Mjs110160 Hi!! i’m not asking for reassurance, but I was actually wondering what some other people experience just so I could understand how everyone’s experience is different! that’s all, sorry if it came out wrong .

Well I usually fear I’m not in love with him, and a big one is fearing the only love I have for him is platonic when I love to be intimate with him. As well as fears of wanting to leave or not wanting to be with him and be with someone else

@Jo I’m not sure where you’re really getting at with this comment? Relationship ocd is a huge thing in many people’s lives and it doesn’t even need certain things to trigger it, it can just happen without outside figures like a break up or something. That’s how mine started but that’s beyond the point. Ocd LA has an article on it and the YouTube channel Awaken Into Love talks more about it bc she had it and got engaged despite it
