ROCD HELP SOS

Thank you for answering, is it okay if I share the intrusive thought?

@Anonymous Yesss

@Iloverowdy12 Thank you, so I have been diagnosed with OCD, and my current intrusive thought is about ROCD, it started when I had the urge to tell my boyfriend that when I was already talking with him I probably liked someone else, and it made him feel terrible, and me as well. So my OCD likes to grab to what I care about the most (my boyfriend) and the intrusive thought is, " what if I still like this person" but I don't want to, it's like please no :( and it makes me feel extremely depressed and horrible, and I just try to act normal around my boyfriend (by the time I had this thought my boyfriend and I were already 9-10 months together) I truly hate the thought, but it doesn't go away.

@Anonymous Trust me I’ve had this ocd subtype twice and have been with my husband for 8 years it’s not easy but there is always an end to it you won’t feel like this forever ocd likes to trick us and attack what we care about the most don’t let your ocd win

@Iloverowdy12 OMG, I'm actually really thankful for you answering, it has been hell :( I felt so lonely and just terrible, and it's basically everyday. Thank you for answering truly.

@Anonymous No problem ocd makes you feel so alone just remember you are not and millions of people are dealing with the same thoughts as you

@Iloverowdy12 Thank you really, I don't know how to stop the thoughts, because they feel so real, and I don't want them to be, if you know anyway to help myself please let me know. Thank you for answering

@Anonymous I would say just sit with the thoughts don’t put some much pressure on stopping them cause that’s what keeps the ocd cycle going just take them in and know they are not you it’s ocd playing a bad trick on you

@Iloverowdy12 Thank you, I will do my best, I hope you are doing better

@Anonymous I really am I love my husband he’s very supportive

@Iloverowdy12 That's great, I really love my boyfriend too, but the OCD doesn't stop, and it's truly killing me I don't know what to do, because I feel that I sometimes don't give enough love to him, just because these thoughts are haunting me.

@Anonymous Have you spoken to him about it and is he understanding of what ocd is

@Iloverowdy12 Yes I have talked about my OCD, he doesn't specifically know about this one intrusive thought, because I confess as a compulsion. So I'm dealing with it by myself. I'm trying z but it gets really difficult at points, thanks for answering

@Anonymous You should have him educate himself on it have him watch some videos on what ocd is

@Iloverowdy12 Yes he has done that, thank you for the help, really. I'm really great full for my boyfriend, he had helped me so much. It's truly hell, but we will get over it, I just know it

@Anonymous You will have faith in yourself ! ❤️

You are right! And I also just wanted to ask, of it's normal with OCD, that some days the thoughts feel so real and you just don't want it. Because it's feeling this way for me this last week's, and it's truly been hell
