ROCD maybe?

Do you ever meet a guy that treats you so well and you fall in love with him but then all of a sudden you get hit with thoughts of self doubt on weather or not you do love him or even find him attractive? I’m going through this right now and these thoughts overtake my emotions and any time we do lovey dovey things my stomach drops and I get anxious when I can’t feel any lovey dovey emotions. It also makes me want to run away or makes me question that I don’t wanna be with him and it’s stressful to deal with these thoughts daily. Anyone relate?

Yes very much! It started for me about 6 months ago with my boyfriend who I’ve been dating for 2 years. I knew I loved him the day I met him. It’s the most sickening feeling to wonder these thoughts. Try to remember that OCD is egodystonic and goes after your core fear….for me it’s being alone (if I don’t love my amazing boyfriend and want to end things I’ll be alone and unhappy). I always describe it as watching a horror movie of yourself. You’re not alone

yes i totally get this too! i’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 4 years and he is genuinely the nicest and most down to earth man I will probably ever meet. I know I find him extremely attractive, I’m obsessed with him. But at times my OCD makes me think that i’m not attracted to him and would he better off with someone else and i don’t deserve someone as nice. I’ll even see people and he like he’s hotter than my boyfriend and i’ll obsess over that and my brain won’t stop. it’s only at times but it makes me feel awful and like a terrible gf. you aren’t alone!

@lowkeyme78 I’m trying my best but it’s so hard cause it feels like it’s not OCD and probably self sabotage or gut feeling but then again if I really didn’t wanna be with him I wouldn’t be overthinking it right now. So I’ll try my best to overcome these thoughts, it’s just hard when they try to convince you to leave them. Like even right now I’m doubting again if I even wanna be with him or not but it could just be OCD, it just feels too real and that’s why it’s scary. But thank you for your input!

Is this ROCD or not? I continuously keep having doubts about my feelings for my boyfriend. I’ve never had this before with my previous relationships and it’s really upsetting because this is the first boy that’s actually treating me like how i deserve. I feel like i’m in a bubble when it’s to do with him. I feel like i can’t emotionally get to him or connect to him. Whenever I think about him or see photos of him i get anxious and stuff. I know i want to be with him forever and i panic about it going wrong. I’m scared i’m going to end up giving in to the doubts and end it😞Whenever i think about the future it makes me anxious, it’s like i’m turning my emotions off. I keep crying after being intimate with him and i don’t know why, i’m panicking it’s because i’m losing feelings for him. I look at other couples and ask myself why am i not like them, why am i not in love like them. They make it look easy and it’s making me doubt everything. I’ve been with my boyfriend for 5 months and it’s amazing when i don’t have these horrendous doubts. He’s so patient with me and he loves me and worships the ground that I walk on yet and I still have these doubts. They came when our relationship started getting serious. I keep asking my friends and mum for reassurance if i love him and it’s making me so so sad. I feel like if i love him i shouldn’t be having these feelings. He’s not done anything wrong and i feel so guilty for it. Is this OCD or me? Plz help :(

ROCD

I always wonder “what if I’m not attracted to my partner” “what if I still have feelings for other people” “what if I cheated on my partner” “what if my partner cheats on me” “what If my partner annoys me and I don’t actually want to be with him” and I’ll do this so much over and over that I get so worked up I’ll criticize him, over analyze him, feel as though I don’t like him. But then an hour later after I find relief ( from telling him, looking things up, talking to my sisters about it) I’ll be in love with him but I won’t fully feel it because I’ll just be thinking about how I just felt before and how bad it was or anticipate it again for the future. So I’m constantly ruining it for myself, and it hurts so bad because he’s so perfect for me and so kind to me and everything about our relationship is right but my mind tries to convince me of other things and it feels so real.

ROCD

Please does anyone else have the same thoughts and feelings as I do who suffer with ROCD (bearing in mind I love my boyfriend, he’s the kindest most loving boy and I love him with all my heart) we spend all day laughing with eachother! I’m constantly like: You don’t love him, this isn’t right with him, you’re horrible for stringing him along, break up with him, break up with him, did you ever actually love him, you’re probably a lesbian, you don’t find him attractive, there’s nothing between you two Then in other moments when I’m not feeling this I literally could cry with how amazing he is! 😢🙈
