Relationship ocd

Has anyone else found that being in a relationship can make your mental health both better and worse? I found that it made me happier but it also triggered my relationship ocd

I have found this to be true as well. It can be quite confusing because my partner helps me with my mental health but at the same time OCD can find it’s way in and make things worse. It can be quite the struggle:(

Not in a relationship rn but I had a similar experience with my ex. If I date now I know my SO-OCD and ROCD will go through the roof 😀

Yeah same here, I experienced extreme ish OCD for the first time w my ex and thought it was just bc of our situation. Was perfectly fine when I was single and now I’m with my new partner and although it’s a very different relationship it brought back similar feelings and it freaked me out. That’s how I found out I had OCD. Now just trying to unlearn my mental habits and defeat the beast! You are not alone, we deserve peace and we will get there with work and time :)
