I always see self doubt in relationship ocd where the person doubts they love their person, but I feel like I more often struggle with believing my person loves me. Is anyone else this way?
Hi, I am struggling with this right now. I know it doesn't make sense and I have no proof that he's not faithful but the intense fear and struggle to stop thinking about it makes it so hard to have a normal relationship with him at the moment. I know it is ocd because if I think about other people who KNOW their partner is cheating on them they are not having overwhelming fear and anxiety about it.
@Misstama65 This disorder is so horrible :( something I try really hard to practice is acceptance. Accepting that there’s a chance that my person could be meant to be with someone other than me, accepting I could someday be ill (another theme) I find that when I accept the possibility I don’t need to live in anticipation as much anymore. It’s a constant effort but it’s the only thing that really helps me. Sending you love
I dealt with this for years… it drove me down a rabbit hole that was so hard to get out of. I know this may sound easier said than done but sit with this uncertainty. I read a book called relationship OCD and it was very helpful. I would recommend it to anyone dealing with this subtype. It is extremely hard to have those thoughts.
Can relationship ocd not just be doubts about my partner of my feelings for them? Cause my ROCD started as that like “what if i didnt love them as much” or something then it translated to more things like “she’s a slut” or “she’s ugly” even though she’s NONE of those things. things like “i will cheat on her” and such. Plus feeling like i like somebody else, imagining myself with other people. Fear i might fall for someone else and overthinking that and feeling guilty. Just my thoughts, my ex was always involved and it made me feel guilt and doubt and anxiety and i HAD to confess it to them. Cause someone asked here whats ROCD and someone simply said doubting feelings and it makes me nervous cause i’d like to think i had rocd but seeing that makes me nervous that what if the thoughts were true?
Does anyone every worry about their significant other cheating on them with Rocd?
Hey beautiful people 🌈 Anyone else have cheating ROCD ? Constant fear of being cheated on and cheating ? How do you cope with it, and with your partner if you have one ? I need some coping advice please 🥺🫠🫠
