Are there resources for OCD support after a breakup?

Does anybody else feel like there are a lot of resources to deal with our OCD during a relationship, but not after a break up?

I guess they don't want to steer you towards that decision when you're already predisposed to break-up mode. I suppose that the same guidance would apply though as if you acted on any compulsion. Mainly, by being kind to yourself. We're not perfect and whatever OCD tells you that you are, it's a lie.
Yes! Definetely! I’m experiencing this right now and my compulsions involve constantly asking for reassurance and contacting the person over and over. Honestly it feels like hell so just want to show solidarity because it really is a struggle. I’m just trying to trust that not engaging in my compulsions will make it a bit easier over time
Oh awesome, thanks I’ll check it out!
I broke up with my partner because I didn’t feel like it was fair to her to have to be with someone who was in constant doubt over his attraction and the relationship long term.. now I’m missing this person and am having a hard time trusting my decision or what to do next.
Hi everyone. I am in a sort of situationship with someone I really care about. My OCD has been spiking around our relationship, and it’s been hard. We have been talking about taking a break - and it’s been very triggering for me. I’ve been ruminating, and checking messages and socials, and seeking reassurance a lot. It feels like a “right person wrong time” situation and I am not dealing well with this uncertainty. Has anyone else dealt with this? And does anyone have advice for how to get through this?
Ever since my breakup I've been obsessing over whether or not I will ever find someone I'll get married to. It's so hard to accept the uncertainty because the thought of ending up alone seems so painful and I start ruminating :( Anyone else on the same boat?
