How do I know I definitely have ocd I feel like I’m making it all up and using it as excuse to my boyfriend and that I’m a bad person towards him I don’t want to hurt him I want to share my thoughts with someone :(
I have ROCD too and I wonder the same things! Unfortunately you can never know for 100% certainty but that’s okay. OCD is known as the doubting disorder and will make you doubt anything and everything. The best way to move forward is just to practice accepting uncertainty. (Still working on this myself 😅)
@caligirl23 thankyou💕 what things do you do to help rocd? X
hey, it sounds like you're going through a really tough time right now, and it's totally okay to feel this way. questioning yourself and your feelings is actually pretty common, especially when dealing with something as complex as ocd. you're not a bad person for experiencing these thoughts or for wanting to be open about them. 💙 i'm dealing with a different ocd theme myself, so i might not have all the answers you're looking for. but, i've found some apps that really help me out. "unstuck ocd therapy tools" is one that my local ocd support group recommended. it's pretty cool because it gives you ai-personalized guidance and exercises right when you need them. then there's the "gg ocd" app. it's more about teaching you the basics of cbt for ocd through small learning modules. it’s not as personalized and doesn't offer in-the-moment help, but it's a good start if you're new to cbt. remember, reaching out for support is a huge step, and you're doing amazing by just being here and looking for help. 🌟
@LovelyJones17 hey thankyou so much definitely gonna check out gg ocd I’ve tried to use unstuck ocd therapy tools but it won’t let me log in after I created an account so I haven’t been able to use that one :( But I’ve been trying to find out how to start out with cbt as I’ve never tried it before 💕
@ambermayx - You can try to email them and they'll fix your account. I'm glad that you're trying out CBT. I will be rooting for you and your progress. Please take care!
@LovelyJones17 Thankyou and I will try to email them xx
Lately I have been feeling like I may not have OCD, maybe I’m just crazy and manipulative. I have been diagnosed with OCD for years now and tend to struggled a lot with relationships. My therapist has told me that my behaviors in relationships are caused by ROCD but sometimes I just feel like I’m a bad person. I am finally with a very nice person after an abusive relationship and I thought some of those symptoms may go away because this person is different but they’ve only gotten worse. I am so easily triggered and convince myself that my partner doesn’t like me and can’t handle me. I end up trying to break up almost weekly. Things will be good and then one small trigger blows everything up and i feel like I’m dying and can’t control myself. I don’t know if i’ll ever be able to be in a relationship
I’m not sure if I have it or not, or if I don’t and I’m just a bad person? I’m even embarrassed to go into details but can anyone explain what it’s like, as sometimes my thought get so bad and intrusive that I worry I’m trying to hide behind rocd as an excuse and I am just a bad girlfriend?? Can anyone relate🥲I live my partner absolutely but sometimes I worry they’re not that into it and I overthink about what it would be like to be with other people, my ocd can be so bad I’m wondering and maybe wishful thinking? That these thoughts/ obsessions could just be the ocd? Please can someone explain their experiences with it🙏🏻
How am I to know whether I have ROCD or if I should leave. I keep having critical and negative thoughts about everything my partner says and does and the way he looks and acts and his personality: literally everything! But I know he’s not the problem, I am, because he’s not toxic or bad. So how do I know if it’s ROCD or if Im trying to force myself to like the wrong person? I’m so lost and confused. He’s such an amazing person and I don’t want to hurt him. I just wish these thoughts would go away and I could see him through rose coloured glasses. But I’m feeling so discouraged and getting tired of trying.
