ROCD/Anxiety

Can my ROCD/OCD and anxiety be related to my parent's relationship with each other? they argue every day of my life and I've been growing in this chaotic scenario and being in a healthy loving relationship with my boyfriend makes me panic and question our relationship because of the peace I feel with him?? Is that even normal? I know for a fact that I have anxiety because of the way my family raised me, but could my own relationship be affected by what I see and saw of my parents'?

It very well could! Do you fear that your relationship with a partner will end up being similar to that of your parents? That could be the fear OCD is preying on.

I have the exact same problem and my therapist tells me it’s bc of what I’ve grown up around with my parents being unhappy w eachother

My therapist has told me the same thing. It is cool to get some sort of background and maybe a starting point but it doesn’t change what I’m going through now.
