I’m dealing with this same thing. Got into a relationship quick and I wasn’t sure how I felt about her at the beginning. I feel like I started liking her but then ROCD comes in and gives me all these thoughts and I just don’t know what’s real and what’s not
Yeah!! it sucks frfr Ita hard too because this bout of ocd started thr first time he stayed over and we got together coz its new i guess? But now its attatched itself to him and i get scared about seeing him :((
I'm experiencing the same thing! Severly! Intensly and totally out of control! I'm having panic attacks and I'm taking pills for it. I totally get it but you need to have therapy sessions as I'm also having. You don't need to give your relationship up! It's not the answer because it keeps happening again and again with other people as well! You only need to treat it!
Im trying to use my tools I learned in therapy - its harder when he stays over as I cant really do much as i dont want to wake him up, but im trying to get myself a bit more under control then ill face having him stay over again
@Doot 🎺 I lost a relationship because of these thoughts and I regret it deeply! But I'm not gonna let it happen again.... I hope you can also manage these shitty stupid thoughts that are not even slightly true!
So i use to get a lot of relationship OCD. I recently got into a relationship two months ago. i have been experiencing some relationship OCD thoughts like “do i like my partner enough” and to complete the compulsion of telling them that i am having this thought. I use to be able to conquer them but after bringing it up in therapy it got worse. does anyone have any recommendations on how to conquer this compulsion and thought? I don’t want to scare my partner away.
I just started dating this guy not too many months ago. he is everything i ever wanted and he treats me right. but now my OCD intrusive thoughts are creeping back in. ones like “do i love him/like him” and like “i have to tell him im having these horrible OCD thoughts or we will never know how i truly feel.” but i know i love/like him. And sometimes I’ll be having a good day and then BAM, the thoughts smack me in the face and i get stuck in an anxious loop and it ruins my mood. how can i break this compulsion without feeling so anxious and do i tell him i’m having these thoughts to relieve the anxiety?
Hello, I recently discovered I may have relationship OCD. I haven’t been formally diagnosed yet but I started experiencing thoughts like “I don’t really love him” or “I’m gonna break up with him”, and sometimes even thoughts that he doesn’t love me or he’s gonna leave me. This all started when I got a text from a former partner, and it was very surprising. I thought since it affected me so much that it meant I still loved him and that I didn’t love my current boyfriend. Before this event, I struggled with intrusive thoughts and compulsions but never about relationships and I didn’t think I had OCD. I wasn’t experiencing any of these specific thoughts before I got that text, and it’s really scary and I’m afraid my thoughts are true. I really do love my boyfriend but these thoughts are really making me depressed.
