Do any of you mix up dates and sometimes find that you stress if you did something whilst in a relationship which would result in you being a cheater I remember something from 6 years ago but my brain is saying it was 5 years ago or potentially overlapping when i met my now boyfriend but its not true, im sure of it - but the ocd wont let me be sure…. Hate this!! Anyone relate?
I legit make up stuff, so yeah. My brain convinced me that I lost my childhood friends because they started a rumor around our town that I was a lesbian (my town is homophobic, nothing against it myself of course but you get the gist of why I was mad) just so I couldn’t be with the guy I liked because one of those girls liked him too. Never happened lol Also, the overlapping! I have ROCD and my brain keeps trying to convince me that my boyfriend was still using Tinder after we got official. It says that I “saw it” 💀 I never did, thank God I keep a diary lmao
@asiaf Its just so convincing its scary!!
Ye omg!! I don’t have ROCD but I have POCD and sometimes I get worried if I’ve done something recently that proves I’m a P just for it to be something I did a long time ago when I was probably not even conscious
@rosepetaltears Hate this disorder!
How do you know it's a false memory/OCD and not something that actually happened? I feel like a terrible person. I'm a very creative person, and the more I stress about whether I did this bad thing the more it seems real. The worst part is is that I have no way of reassurance without sounding crazy. I have ROCD and I randomly started obsessing over the 7 months of our relationship whether or not I've cheated on him. Even though I love him more than anything and I would never do that! I'm constantly triggered by coworkers or classmates that I've previously found attractive or liked and/or I know they've liked me or flirted with me. I'm at the point now where I'm rereading simple texts/straightforward texts of these people asking me about school work or if I could cover a shift trying to find proof of something I can't remember. My partner knows about my OCD and is very understanding and supportive. I feel like I'm living a lie. When this first started my rational brain knew this wasn't real, but the more I become obsessed the more it becomes more distorted. I feel guilty for being happy. I just want to be guaranteed it's not real so I can move on with my life. It's moving to specific people now and it's scaring me how real it feels.
My ocd is telling me I cheated on my partner 3 years ago but I don’t have any evidence at all. I keep thinking maybe I got my timing off because I was seeing someone a few months before him, but my ocd is saying that was at the same time. Any advice? Should I confess something that might have been three years ago with no evidence? How do I let go?
I have this thought where i think ive chested on my partner 2 years ago when drunk at a party I really really dont think it happened because i only had the thought a few months ago “what if i cheated at this party with this guy who i barely even know” I see a future with my boyfriend and i don’t want to confess but i just feel like i have to JUST IJ CASE but i know it could hurt him so much and it probably didnt even happen I cant just ask the guy who i think i cheated with because were not friends and dont speak so if i message he will think im some freak Anyone in a similar boat or overcome this I just don’t know how i can move forward without confessing
