Glad to know I’m not alone 😭♥️ Mine also manifests as competitiveness around other women. When I see men I feel like I need to put on the best show, and if I see women I automatically begin to assess where I stand against them. I cannot seem to shut it off. I despise myself for it. It’s so difficult though. I know OCD amplifies the thoughts, but a part of me fundamentally does seek approval. I just want it to stop.

@tina.b2021 OH my gosh I have those thoughts too 😭😭😭 I’ll get anxious whenever I walk past men hoping they “won’t look at me” but then question my motives to begin with. And I get what appears to be relief from NOT getting the attention, but then start to question my worth and whether I’m ugly or not bc I got ignored. 🤦♀️Nothing is ever good enough.

@tina.b2021 I also feel guilty for assuming these men look out of interest. I know people observe their surroundings for pretty much every kind of reason, but I can’t help but always assume a man’s glance means interest. It makes my ROCD so much worse with my bf too…

@tina.b2021 but ultimately, I’m tired of basing my worth off of my appearance. I’m deserving of love whether I’m beautiful or not. I shouldn’t have to be this obsessed to begin with! No woman should have to be!

@tina.b2021 OH MY GOSH YES. ☹️ I grew up ugly. A few years ago I suddenly “glowed up” (as they say lol) and now I get showered w attention, and no matter how many times I get complimented it’s never, never enough! Add OCD to that mix and it’s an addiction. 😭

Wow. I know this is 50 days late lol but I had no idea this was ocd. I literally assumed that these were thoughts everyone has to a certain degree. But I have always felt like im narcissistic and an attention seeker- especially when it comes to the way I dress/walk. Thank you for sharing this, I will be talking about it with my therapist 😭😂

ROCD
For the past 3 months ish I’ve been struggling on and off with this anxiety and fixation over my relationship. To wondering if i still have feelings for an old friend, wondering if i actually love him, wondering if the thoughts are all real and im just trying to cover it up with ocd. It sucks, when im talking to my boyfriend i feel fine. The words i love you and talks about the future come naturally. I can’t imagine myself with anyone but him. But this constant rumination on my relationship is KILLING me and I’m scared it’s going to ruin what i have. It makes me numb and disconnected which therefore makes me believe the thoughts even more. They just feel so real sometimes and it’s so scary like why can i not just enjoy it. We’ve been together for a while so i know there’s periods of like feelings ebb and flowing but this is so much more. It’s just constantly sitting on my chest with anxiety. My compulsions are coming on this app, looking at photos of us and confessing it to him. He’s very understanding and helpful. I love him so much. I just need help / I’m also just starting new meds as well ..

ROCD & Limerence addiction
I feel like my brain needs to chase dopamine. I’m currently in a long term relationship but I notice myself chasing male attention at work and fantasizing about if my coworker can bring me more joy than my current partner. Deep down inside I know that I love my partner and he’s the only person I want to be with but right now I feel so miserable. I feel like if I dont seek reassurance (watching videos on this topic, scrolling through reddit) then my mind will start to think that I need to leave my partner. I’ve been struggling with ROCD for over a year now and I’m wondering if I should even be with my partner since this has been going on for so long. I dont know how to accept the fact that my relationship isn’t going to feel like how it did in the beginning.

relationship ocd?
for me it’s getting to the point where i don’t feel in love with my boyfriend anymore. i’m trying to keep myself from compulsing since my compulsions are all mental. it’s like the thoughts consume my mind every second of every day and i can’t catch a break. it’s like i want to be with him so bad but my brain won’t allow me. any advice?
