Slapped me in the face in March soon after getting in a relationship with my best friend and being blissfully happy. I spiraled into a depression and panic. I felt doomed. Like my life was over. And then I found out I had OCD. And started counseling. Then medication. Then cognitive behavioral therapy. And now I’m doing better but it’s still an annoying part of my everyday life. But it’s sooooooo much better. What’s your story?
Hey love I see you post often here about your ROCD. Try meditating and work hard on ur ERP. And as times goes by ur ROCD will go away.
I do. Thank you
It’s really long but I’ve had rocd with every single relationship I’ve ever been in. I’m married and have been for 6 years. I’ve been with my husband for almost 10. He is my best friend and means the world to me. I get the thoughts about “what if I don’t really love him?” Or “what if I’m not really attracted to him?” It’s so real at times that I can’t tell what my actual feelings and thoughts are. At the same time when I picture him in my head I find him SUPER attractive and I love him to death. I don’t want to loose him. I’m terrified that one way or another rocd will end my marriage like it has ended every other relationship in my life. Either by me giving into the compulsion to leave or by him getting tired of dealing with me always being an emotional wreck. He honestly is the most important person in my life. I would give almost anything to not have this problem.?
How are you doing these days?
Well I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years ( Ann. Is in dec of this year ?) but ROCD came up when I started to get intrusive thoughts about not having feelings for him when I did, and then it got worse and I was able to self diagnose from what I gathered already. I’m going through it right now with some HOCD, it sucks. But yeah my main fears are him being abusive, and just not being in love with him.
Ok open to hearing anyones experiences with Pure O and ROCD/Relationship themes
I’ve recently been having a lot of distress about my relationship and things surrounding it due to OCD. I was wondering if you have OCD, how does it present itself in your relationship(s) (thoughts, feelings, urges, images, etc)?
