I know you love your partner, but it's all the OCD doing this to you
@Speckles I am terrified it will win. The urges are insane and I’m crying in bed right now because it breaks my heart to think about 😞
@cam1724 @cam1724 I hate to see your in such pain, but try to remember this will pass. Darn OCD. I hate it!! I've been listening to music. I have a song now its called "I get knocked out but I get up again" chumbawumba I think. It helps... maybe you can find a song?

What kind of compulsions do you have? What triggers your thoughts? Keep putting yourself in situations that trigger you obsessive thoughts and then minimize the compulsions by not ruminating, answering questions etc.
@winterdream I honestly have no idea what my triggers are. They start as soon as I wake up, and all the way until I go to sleep. 😞 my biggest compulsions are ruminating, reassurance seeking, checking feelings, and googling. I haven’t been googling as much, but I’ve been going into forums and comparing and reassurance seeking 😞
@cam1724 I would first limit how much you’re going into forums and reassurance and then work from there. I would also try not to fight the thoughts but let them be in the background while you do your thing. The voice gets quieter eventually :)
@winterdream Thank you so much for your advice ♥️😊
@cam1724 I don't have ROCD, but can relate!!
@Speckles I’ve had harm and suicidal in the past too, those felt extremely real as well. This one has been the hardest for me though bc it just seems more real and justifiable 😞
@cam1724... it's not real...I know it doesn't feel that way. But it's all fake. I have HOCD
@Speckles I had harm ocd really bad years ago. It was absolutely terrible. Then it went to suicidal. Now it’s all relationship. It makes me sick how our own brains can fight against us so much. I know it’s not real, but it feels so real and I am so terrified it will win
Harm OCD... it sucks! It goes after people I care about too 😫
@cam1724 it's not going to win! You aren't going to let it! Remember that...I hate how r brains do this too. It's not fair. You should watch Maria Bamford utube... she's a little crude, but she'll cheer u up!!
@Speckles Thank you so much for talking with me ♥️ it has been so hard. I hope you find some peace soon too. I will look her up, thank you so much 🥲
You are welcome! I hope I helped you a little. You can even get my text # if you want. This thing is a hell of a battle!!
@Speckles I would like that! It’s been hell to deal with. Feel free to message me if (:
I guess I can do that thru here? I'm pretty new to this site
@Speckles I actually have no idea how to privately message through here. Do you have Facebook or Instagram?
@cam1724 yes FB you could friend me on there. It's CM Subers
@Speckles I think I sent you a request
@cam1724... I'll go look
@cam1724 that is your acct under bc so many people have requested me as a friend and I have no idea in hell who they are, so I ignore it
@Speckles Mine is under Clarissa Melendez
I found u It,but Darn... it's saying invalid request and won't let me for some reason. WTH! I tried it a few times
@Speckles Hm that’s weird. What is your profile picture on Facebook? I’ll look for you again
I'll try again
@cam1724..... did u retrieve it back?
@Speckles I haven’t gotten anything
@cam1724 try it again and get back to me bc now the whole request is gone! Errrr
@Speckles What’s your profile picture so I know I’m sending the request to the right person?
@cam1724 cam1724 it won't let me copy it and I'm not tech savvy.
How many CM Subers are out there?
@Speckles I just sent it again
Ok... checking
I feel like my Rocd has become more sophisticated. It’s made me feel as if my healthy loving boyfriend is this terrible person. Or I’ll be thinking to myself like “I love him”, and in middle thought I get “no you don’t”. It’s convinced me that our values and beliefs are just TOO different (we’ve only disagreed on one thing in our relationship, but we talk it out). It’s like my ocd is clinging on to every reason why I should break up, like I don’t want this anymore, even tho I do! It’s frustrating. And the idea of doing erp terrifies me. Because I’m afraid if I do erp statements, that I’ll agree with them. Can someone give insight
for me it’s getting to the point where i don’t feel in love with my boyfriend anymore. i’m trying to keep myself from compulsing since my compulsions are all mental. it’s like the thoughts consume my mind every second of every day and i can’t catch a break. it’s like i want to be with him so bad but my brain won’t allow me. any advice?
Hi - I’ve made a series of posts about my situation over the past few weeks. My bf asked to take a break from our relationship through text the first week of April. We haven’t spoken since. There’s a lot of outward details to this but I’ll try to keep it as simple as possible. My ocd is telling me the worst of the worst. He left me with full uncertainty because he didn’t give me a reason, and his decision felt like it happened overnight and I’m still so confused. He’s never been in a relationship as serious as this before. I’m incredibly hurt and angry, and my emotions get worse on Saturday and Friday nights because that’s when his frat parties happen. I do ERP phrases but my stomach hurts and it’s churning so bad. I deactivated/deleted social media apps for now because it’s too much. I just wish this physical feeling would stop. Does anyone have tips?
