So I experienced this big time as soon as I made it official with my man. I had a lot doubts. Do I actually like him? Do I really want to be with him? I felt so ambivalent for a while, despite feeling perfectly fine prior to taking things serious. For me, I realized in past flings I was so mistreated that now that I was receiving normalcy and the right type of love and treatment, I didn’t know how to react to it and almost wanted to push it away because I was used to toxicity. What I did is I told myself to just take things day by day, and that soon enough, it would work out and it did.

@BlueGlasses I’ve been mistreated a lot and he treats me like a princess. I don’t wanna mess it up. But I feel numb and sick to my stomach can rocd make you feel that way ?

@Rachel2727 Absolutely. I feel the same anxiety as you do. I am with the man of my dreams and I’m so scared of screwing things up that it makes me physically ill. I don’t always have that anxiety. Sometimes you have to learn to live in the moment. It helps.

Thanks for sharing. So yes what you're describing definitely sounds like ROCD. At its worst, any OCD obsessions can make you feel like rock bottom, whatever that looks like for you. ROCD also doesn't usually come into play when you're not in a relationship but of course when you are, it can spike. I would recommend not doing anything in the relationship that you may regret until you're sure of what you're feeling and want to do. Talk to your bf if you can and ensure he understands what's going on. If you can't then I understand but hopefully you can talk to someone. If you are working with a therapist you will likely look into creating exposures related to this situation. Best wishes and let me know if anything else. Also looking online is not always the best since it can be a compulsion in itself, especially as you describe it

@SamL I have talked to my boyfriend about it. He’s very supportive. I just don’t wanna ruin it. I’ve been very open about it

@Rachel2727 I know the sharing part is tough but the more your partner understands, the better they will hopefully be able to support you. Our OCD plays on the fear that something bad will happen if we discuss it because it doesn't want us to...

@SamL I think it’s rocd but I just have questions. Like can it make you sick to your stomach? Can you have rocd in the beginning of a relationship? Can it make you numb? I just need answers because I don’t wanna break up with my bf. I keep going back and forth because when we’re not together I miss him and I’m like I love him but when we’re together my head has all these doubts and I’m stressed

@Rachel2727 Everything you described is me. I wake up feeling sick to my stomach. I instantly start overthinking. & yess now I am at a point where I am completely numb. We got an a disagreement & I felt blahhh. I can’t get sad or happy or anything. I even tries testing my feelings with a sad. & I mean sad insta video & I literally felt nothing

Harm ocd Advice
Does anyone have any advice on how to deal with intrusive thoughts&images. At first i had intrusive thoughts around my partner, now it’s centred around me & I can’t be around window ledges or medication due to a story I read online(it’s too triggering for me) . Sometimes I feel like I can’t leave my bed due to the thoughts being so overwhelming I just break down and want to sleep. I aren’t taking any medication or therapy yet. I worry that if I don’t give my thoughts a reaction that my thoughts are true and not OCD. I’ve had these thoughts 24/7 for 2 months.

Can someone please help me?
I think when people are saying OCD is egodystonic is really triggering me and I was just wondering if this has happened to anyone else? I’m going through a really bad relapse and right now I’m trying to figure out if my thoughts are truly egodystonic, like I how do I know I won’t act on them, how can I trust my emotions and everything. I feel really confused and I feel like I don’t know who I am anymore or how I carry on with life because it’s so long and I’m so unsure of everything that’s going on in my head. Like how do I know that this is OCD and true desires/urges. I’m so confused.
