I’m having an intense bout of relationship OCD right now and the rumination is too extreme. I would normally call someone but everyone’s asleep. Anyone got any advice or distractions right now?
1. I would inform your partner that your OCD is causing this 2. Don’t try harder, try different 3. Accepting that nothing is guaranteed so when the thoughts hit you gotta say to yourself “there’s no use in trying to predict, what i’m thinking could happen or it couldn’t”
I’ve been trying to get into the habit of “maybe, maybe not” and it’s tough to switch your thought patterns but as you know giving into the thought only makes things worse so we just gotta keep on reminding ourselves that we deserve peace
I would say try everything to get a good nights sleep. OCD is always worse when we don’t feel 100%, especially for me when I’m over tired. Try to say to yourself “I don’t need to figure this out right now, I have permission to put this aside until the morning” and get some sleep 🤍
Any insomnia buddies out there tonight. Dealing with relationship OCD?
Anyone with Relationship ocd? Can you please share what it’s like for you ?
