what are some of your mental compulsions? I have relationship OCD but I can’t think of many compulsions I have, so does that mean I have pure O?

I have ROCD, too. Some of my mental compulsions are: • trying to find the answer to whether we will last forever/whether he is right for me • analyzing his facial expressions, tone of voice, body language, words, text responses, whether he says "I love you" at the end of a phone call in order to check if he really loves me. • ruminating and worrying anout scenarios that might happen in the future • checking how I feel when I'm with him & without him • comparing our relationship to others--both real & fictitious ones

Fir me a compulsion is just thinking about something that is bothering me over and over and trying to understand it or figure out what went wrong. I also have Dermatillomania and so I pick when I am stressed.

Ive avoided songs,movies and friends because Ive felt they could trigger me too

I used to have ROCD, with my doting husband, of all people. ??‍♀️ I would say "I love you," just to hear it back. I would check his phone and laptop. I would question my worth and if he loved me. I would check to see if he was really paying attention to me when I talked.

Yes, that can be a compulsion. Often times when we do that thinking over and over thing, we're trying to problem solve. Problem solving isn't effective for OCD.

Creating scenarios to see how Id feel, checking how I feel if Im with him,if he tells me he loves me, if I tell him I love him, when I look at him, going over a thought to try to understand why it came to my mind in the first place, analyzing different events in our relationship to see how I was feeling and so on

I know your pain-I have sesorimotor OCD,and Derealazation-It sucks

Seems like you have pure o. If it pops in your head so much that it interferes with your life then that is classed as pure o

I have Pure-O and pick at my skin until it bleeds.

I’m up right now should be having fun at the lake with my girlfriends and I’m in bed and just can’t fucking sleep it just keeps popping in my head that I don’t love my sweet boyfriend and I have convinced myself I’m unhappy and he’s the funnest person in the world. I love his quirky side. So a compulsion can be just thinking about what bothers me? Like over and over? Trying to find guidance in this time so terrified it’s just how I feel and I don’t wanna believe that
