ROCD 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

I just went through my first breakup. My ex and I dated for almost 5 years and the breakup was mutual but it still hurts so much. I had ROCD throughout our entire relationship that I’m sure took a toll on us both but what led us to the end was completely separate—he hurt me in a way I couldn’t get past after it happening multiple times before. Even though the breakup was mutual and I know we need this to move forward either with or without one another, I am in so much pain. We both are still in love with the other and it’s making this breakup 10x harder because I am freaking out over whether or not I overreacted and I am throwing away something amazing just because of my ROCD sabotaging everything for us. It wasn’t the only issue but I guess I’m freaking out thinking it could’ve been the root of many of my frustrations. I just feel nauseous and depressed and exhausted (I can’t sleep). I guess I just need some guidance here. I have no idea how to navigate a breakup, let alone one where OCD is involved.
