Mood Apps OCD

I have mood apps that I track my feelings and activities and relationships in. I have done it for a year and 2 months. I feel like it’s making me obsess over my feelings and stressful relationship even more. My family says delete them if it’s doing more harm than good. I just exported the data after a long day but I can’t get myself to delete them. Is this ocd? Should I? I’m scared if I do I won’t be paying attention to how I feel and then my relationship will be crappy forever and then I’ll never break up if it stays the same or gets worse then I’ll die unhappy in the very end. I’m so anxious

Remember relationships and feelings ebb and flow. They’re not always 50/50. Sometimes it’s 80/20 depending on the stage of life you’re in or what’s going on. Maybe instead of tracking your mood/ feelings everyday maybe instead focus on things your grateful for or things that you notice are good. You can check in every once in a while to see if you notice something not adding up or being true anymore.

But if there is abuse or unsafe things happening always seek safety and remove yourself from that situation.

I've tracked my anxiety/depression in the past and I think it made me focus on the negative rather than the positive. How about you track positive things like gratitude like the other commenter mentioned. You can also track hours of sleep, exercise, amount of water you drink, etc. Make it something positive if it's something you enjoy doing :)

Thank you guys. I want to keep my habit tracker and gratitude app, but maybe not the mood trackers. In my relationship we are aware of the issues we are just struggling to make us healthy. Long distance military. It’s a lot for just being 18. I know we have issues but obsessing over the problems and never relaxing and always worrying and ruminating and tracking my feelings and the fear of something bad happening if im not paying attention is making everything so much worse.

OCD and using dating apps

Hey, I’ve never dated before and I’m in my 20’s now and I’ve considered starting to use a dating app to start just talking to people but I’m scared. Scared of getting obsessive over the conversations, the people or if it’s the right decision to use it or not ? Any advice ? Thank you

I got into a relationship (fairly quickly but were both happy and if it doesnt work we can obviously just stop) but its been giving me MAJOR anxiety My friends keep telling me i should have gone to therapy and fixed this fear of relationships beforehand but I feel like if I do that with everything ill be forever in therapy coz of how much OCD changes. Its something new and scary so ocd has stepped in exept my ‘intrusive thought’ is the anxiety itself, im scared of the horrible feeling of feeling scared and sick I was sick last night from anxiety, which hasnt happened in a LONG time, and now im scared ive slipped back again, but this time instead of having a thought to disregard, how do i disregard the literal worst feeling ever? Its so horrid and makes me feel so sick, how do i just get on with that? I know i have to or it will keep happening hence the ocd cycle Is staying put in my relationship good? Because im scared of it, or should i leave?? I don’t want to but I don’t want this ocd either but i do love him a lot im just such a confused mess

Hello 👋🏻

My psychiatrist hasn’t officially diagnosed me yet, but mentioned that I could have OCD (suicidal OCD). The more I look into it, the more I relate to Relationship OCD. As I look back at my old journal, I feel like I can totally see the possibility of me having relationship OCD. I’m curious if these count as obsessions: 1. Fear that the relationship was going to end (it did) 2. Fear that I was going to say or do something to make him stop loving me 3. Fear I made him an idol in my life (Scrupulosity OCD) The relationship caused me so much distress. I could not stop worrying about the relationship all the time and couldn’t think about schoolwork or anything else. Do these count as compulsions: 1. Constantly having conversations with him & others about the relationship 2. Constantly praying & journaling about the relationship I meet with a psychiatrist tomorrow for an ADHD assessment but I’m so interested in learning about all this stuff & figuring it out… which I read could be a compulsion. Would appreciate any comments!
