Ik like i never had it until recently and my therapist like knows nothing about OCD. she looks things up so I'm trying to find an OCD specialist. since with all those thoughts and stuff like ecen kissing my boyfriend now and stuff feels werid and i just don't know if that means i dont like him anymore but I don't want to break up with him because I love him and I even turn off my notifications when i get texts because for some reason I get anxious because I'm like I have to respond right away and I know I don't have too. and he is such a great person. i just dont know anymore. telling this too other people they would say like "maybe you lost interset" and stuff.

@rlr A therapist is good for problems that are solvable, but ocd like me I need to see a ocd therapist or someone in the ocd study group

@GummyDrop yeah I’ve been thinking about getting an ocd therapist but it’s just so much to switch therapists and what if I don’t connect with the ocd therapist and ahhh it’s just too much but I know it’d be a good idea

@rlr Yeah I suggest you go with a friend or ask friends for recommendations, you don’t deserve to go through this alone, ocd needs multiple people to take it down, if you need me my insta is @pencilllllll5

Doubting and confusion is something I deal a lot with too. My thoughts and feelings change a lot and sometimes I feel totally fine. I think that if you express your concern to your therapist and just make sure you’re doing all you can to feel okay that’s all that matters. Labels are just there to try to help you with what you’re going through. But as long as you’re getting better and helping yourself that’s all that matters

I don’t think you’ve lost interest. I think that other things are causing stress and that’s why you are pulling away. I think it would be helpful to talk to your boyfriend about what you are feeling and to definitely find a new thereapist! I think if you need space for a few weeks (not a break but like you’ll text him when you want to talk) and expressing that this is something you deal with would be helpful

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 ..

Struggling with potential ROCD
Good morning. Anyone struggle with ROCD? When I think about what I have done in the past, I feel immense guilty (I feel the tightness in my chest) and have the urge to tell my partner about it, even if my partner says she doesn’t need to know if it is going to hurt her and that I need to talk to my therapist about it first. Any suggestions on how to manage the urge/urgency? Thanks!
