ROCD

I need help and advice, I’ve told my partner that I think I’m experiencing ROCD and that I’m having intrusive thoughts about many things including him. He always asks me if I’m okay and what the thoughts about him are. He just wants to understand and try and help me, I don’t know wether me telling him the thoughts is a good idea will it feed the OCD. What can he do to help in this situation. I never want to tell him I’m not okay so I don’t but I’m really not okay there’s so much going on in my head. Anyone with any advice would be amazing.

I think that it might be better not to him so it does not worsen you ocd symptoms. However, it you do tell him try to set boundaries. In the sense that he understands not to give you reassurance. He can know the thoughts, if you are comfortable telling him, but no more than knowing.

@Anna,hi! Sometimes I just break down infront of him because of he things I’m thinking. He always asks what I’m thinking I just don’t want him to get hurt

@R01 It’s nice that he’s trying to understand I wish that was me and my partner, sometimes I feel I can’t communicate with him because of my thoughts. I have in the past but he threatens to break up with me so I can’t talk about my thoughts. It is also a compulsion for me to confess.
