ROCD

I was wondering if anyone else experiences this this rocd. Everytime I try to enjoy work and not have ocd episodes, a coworker is nice to me, and they’re my friend but my head always try’s to say I like them. Which I don’t, I never had a good time with guys as friends it makes me uncomfortable. I know I don’t want my coworker but my brain keeps making me bring up that they’re nice to me and I laugh at their jokes. I know that, that doesn’t mean i like them like that but my head keeps lying to me and saying It’s true. But I know it’s not true. It has happened to most of my coworkers and Idk why this one feels different even tho it’s the same thing. Any advice or does this happen to anyone else

I’m like this too! Lol! Typically with girls I’m attracted to and friendly with .. I’ll get those damn maybe I want her .. lol.. problem with us people with ocd is it’s natural .. we’re always gonna be attracted to something or someone .. but it freaks us out even though we arnt doing anything bad nor never would .. ocd likes to misconstrue and over evaluate everything we think about .. so what do we gotta do? Just let it go.. sit with the uncomfortable and just accept the thoughts and move on .. it’s an everyday process .. eventually you’ll be ok again and not worry .. it just takes time … the thought of cheating on my person freaks me out big time.. even though it’s not like a huge bad thing.. I’m just not a cheater never will or would be and I’ve been cheated on.. so it definitely freaks me out and then I get doubts which freak me out more when all I want is to fully enjoy and love the person I’m currently with .. I do regardless .. but the obsessive hyper fixation I cling to sometimes makes days super hard .. buuut.. I’ve had more great days now than I’ve ever had then in my past .. I suffer from rocd soocd harm ocd and just pure ocd .. some days are tough .. some days I’m convinced which freak me the fuck out and anger me immensely.. but you gotta push through ! Cause the other side of the darkness is always beautiful !

@Iamtheonewhooverthinks Thank you so much for taking ur time and reply to my thread this helps me feel less alone. We’re stronger than ocd and no matter what we know our truth, I just need to sit with that anxiety and not try to figure out what the anxiety means, because it’s ocd! Thank you so much, we’re so much stronger than it!!

@Morgan28 Well technically speaking you get anxiety cause you’re irrationally afraid of shit that isn’t you it goes against who you are as a person and what you stand for .. but when I did my therapy and from watching the ocd videos ocd attacks everything you value it makes you doubt your true self and anything and everything . I told my therapist when I’m 100 percent clear Ive actually forgotten what I was even stressing about and hyper fixated on and I’m happy .. and she was telling me yeah that’s cause you’re your true self again ..

R-OCD...cheating fears

Currently I have several different OCD fears that pop up throughout the week depending on the situation. I've noticed a commonality between all of them are the fears relating to memory/false memory. Today is the ROCD struggle I've been dealing with. I know OCD has been trying this on me lately because of how much I love my spouse. They are my absolute best friend and she's my world. I value our marriage and friendship more than anything. OCD has latched onto one specific female coworker. And I don't even know why because even if I were single I wouldn't be into her. Even still, OCD makes me think I've cheated on my wife every time I'm alone with this coworker at work. Always starts as a what if, followed by imagery, followed by feelings that I must've actually done something and can't remember it. Usually fearing I've kissed her. It hurts because I know I'd never do that to my wife and I love her so much...the idea of losing her kills me, especially if it were the result of something I did. Just wanted to vent. Feel free to share your experiences or vents as well

ROCD and settling

I feel guilty writing this but I was wondering does anyone’s ROCD make them feel like they’re settling? I feel ill when my thoughts start running about that and I always seek reassurance to make sure I still love my partner. It’s so stressful especially when I acknowledge other people are good looking my brain jumps to the idea that I want to be with them which drives me insane sometimes. I even had to avoid a coworker at my old job because my OCD convinced me that I was in love with him even though we were both in active relationships and only at platonic discussions. I always had to review to make sure I said nothing wrong and I feel like I am doing the same with a friend currently. I’m not sure what to do…
