Struggling with dating culture and OCD
I’ve been fortunate enough to have experienced a lot of recovery due to ERP but I’m often triggered to the point of relapsing anytime I date someone new. I feel like many of my friends talk about how noncommittal and casual the dating culture is but for me it’s more than an annoyance— it causes me to spiral. I don’t know how to actively date in this age where so much is grey and avoid rumination, checking, and other compulsions I struggle with. it’s so hard and I just wanted to know anyone else’s experiences?
