Is there hope for those with ROCD? I feel like I'll never be "ok" with anyone enough to be with them, even now I see myself sabotaging the best relationship I've had, when I genuinely dont want to. I know its my OCD getting in the way but cant stop it. It breaks my heart 😔
hey there, I’m going through something similar. I love and respect my partner so much, and I truly believe they’re a great person. It’s a healthy relationship and my ROCD is getting in the way of me feeling secure. I can’t stop ruminating about their ex and wondering if they’re more compatible than we are. I try really hard to keep it to myself, but it’s torturous. I hope it gets easier for you.
Yes I believe there is hope in recovery. I'm not where I want to be yet but it's bothering me less and I remember what it used to feel like with ROCD. You'll never have full certainty because that doesn't exist in life, but it won't bother you in the same way and won't feel like such a big risk.
