Struggling. ROCD.
I am struggling bad tonight. My partner focused ROCD is flaring up so bad. I get very triggered when my husband shaves his beard (and he has to because he’s in the military ) because he has a bit of a double chin, not because he’s overweight but because he has a bit of an overbite/ overjet, which predisposes him to make it look like he has a double chin. I am hyper fixating on it so much and it’s making me so sad and bitter. I hate this. I’ve been looking at old pictures (partly to remind myself of when he had a beard, which is my preferred look). It gives me both relief (because I know he can always grow out his beard when he gets out of the military) and partly it gives me stress (because that’s not how he looks right now). This hyperfixation is making me feel like I’m not attracted to him and I’m getting so depressed over it. What do I do? It’s not like I can will myself to be more attracted to him in this moment. I know he’s a very attractive man and a lot of women would kill to be with him, but I can’t get this out of my head. 🥺
