ROCD or am I lying to myself?

I do not have ROCD nor have I ever, but based off of other stories I have heard on here, they usually say that this is a normal part of the cycle. You will think of every single thing about the person and then feel like you’re actually feeling those things. I’m not 100% but that’s just based off of what I read! Just stay calm and make sure to breathe. Think about the good things about this person as well. Balance is the key of nature.

i saw a tiktok the other day on rocd saying that you don’t just immediately fall out of love, that’s not how it works. that brought me relief when i was going through this EXACT same thing. and one day, this particular obsession stopped for me. my brain, for whatever miracle reason, let it go, and found ways to resolve itself after a few weeks of obsessing, going back and forth in my head thinking that i’m in a bad relationship and the arguments we had at the time ruined the love i had for him. your brain will do the same. it can’t hold onto one thought forever. briefly look back all the other obsessions you’ve possibly had in the past and see how silly they were ! this one will be one of them too eventually. if your rational mind KNOWS, not just feels, that you love him, and that he’s a good person that lifts you up and will benefit you in the long run, then this is definitely your rocd trying to get at you. remember that rocd will attack what’s most important to you. don’t make any decisions that your rocd is trying to force you to do. try to make a list of all the good things you remember about him and the time you’ve spent together and make space for yourself to reminisce, then look back on that list when you’re feeling doubtful. that’s what helps me ! you will have doubts, just like everyone does, and that’s perfectly normal and okay.

Hey there, it sounds like you're going through a really tough time trying to figure out your feelings and thoughts. It's hard when your mind is filled with doubts, especially about someone you care about. 🤍 Remember, it's okay to feel confused and to seek clarity. I'm not an expert on ROCD or relationship issues, but I want to share some resources that might help you feel less alone in what you're going through. You might find it useful to check out the OCD Stories podcast. It's a great way to hear from others who have faced similar struggles and to learn how they've navigated their journey with OCD. Also, there's this app called "unstuck OCD therapy tools" that my NOCD therapist recommended to me. It offers AI-personalized guidance and exercises for moments like these. It's been a helpful tool for me when I need support right in the moment. Hang in there, and remember, reaching out for help is a strong first step.
