Tired (possible rocd tw)
I don’t think I’ll ever be good enough..I’ll always have issues and ocd relapses. My bf needs someone better.

you're not alone in feeling this, but we can do this!
@stxrmads Thank you. I hate that other people feel this way too but in a way I’m glad there are people who understand
@kaylaxo knowing there are people out there who understand exactly how I feel makes me feel less alone and gives me encouragement that I can work through this. I understand you 🫶
This definitely resonates with me, too. I've kind of found that it boils down to choice. As long as you are both safe and decent to each other (up to interpretation, but generally, physically and emotionally safe) then it's up to each partner to decide to stay or leave. In this case, you feel that your partner would be better off with someone else, but just remember that that's their choice.
@avx Thank you. You’re right 😊
I know it's hard for you because of this situation with ocd but I remember you were in love if still you are don't give up because any relationship has It's own ups and downs, totally. Just remember the early days of your relationship and try to act like those days .Remember, love is a precious gift, and you are worthy and shouldn't think Your boyfriend deserves anyone else. While you both love each other, No one can fill that gap for you.
@Anonymous - Thank you so much ☺️
You're welcome 🙂. I wish you the best as you want.
i feel the same way
@vaIentine I’m so sorry :(
Currently trying to move on from my past relationship. My OCD killed it because I was always seeking reassurance, and now I have a potential guy I'm meeting tomorrow who seems to have gone through similar experiences. It's almost terrifying how much we have in common and it's making me spiral "Could he be 'The One?' What if he doesn't like me? Is this a message from God?" Blah blah blah..... I feel I'm always trying to have the "perfect" relationship. I suppose I need to relinquish that this isn't possible... My ROCD is tricky because I question if I'm good enough- not the relationship itself.
Sometimes I feel like I’ll never be able to have a healthy relationship with a significant other because every time I enter one my ocd kicks in and I end up becoming the toxic one. They get tired of always trying to reassure me and I know they aren’t supposed to but they also don’t care to know that. I’m just so sad and so miserable I wish the guy I loved loved me the way I love him. I wish he cared about me. But I also wish I could let him go. But I’m just so obsessed with the idea of us I can’t let it go and it’s driving me crazy.
Lately I have been feeling like I may not have OCD, maybe I’m just crazy and manipulative. I have been diagnosed with OCD for years now and tend to struggled a lot with relationships. My therapist has told me that my behaviors in relationships are caused by ROCD but sometimes I just feel like I’m a bad person. I am finally with a very nice person after an abusive relationship and I thought some of those symptoms may go away because this person is different but they’ve only gotten worse. I am so easily triggered and convince myself that my partner doesn’t like me and can’t handle me. I end up trying to break up almost weekly. Things will be good and then one small trigger blows everything up and i feel like I’m dying and can’t control myself. I don’t know if i’ll ever be able to be in a relationship
