Success stories for ROCD/scrupulosity?

Hi! I also struggle with ROCD and I definitely get the feeling. It can be so frustrating when everything is fine but something in your brain is convincing you something’s “off” (whatever that means). I am also almost engaged at this point and I can say that my symptoms have gone down a LOT since starting my NOCD journey, but it never goes away forever. That may not sound very encouraging, but what’s really helped me is leaning into all the good moments and being as present as possible in them. There is so much more good than bad and that’s what makes it all worth it to me. I also know my symptoms will only keep improving as I work at it more. This is just to say, this stuff really does work and even when it flares up it’s worth it and you got this!

I'm doing way better with my scrupulosity than I ever have before. There is hope!!!!! In my marriage, my husband is supportive of me regarding the OCD. He know my knows brain is really funky sometimes. Have you told your fiancé about the OCD?

I totally understand to! ROCD is my biggest subtype and have been seeing so much growth with ERP and Medication! It is a slow and difficult process but have seen so much improvement!

I am in the same spot, just got engaged and struggling pretty hard. I love my fiance, I see how God brought us together and he’s everything I prayed for but I spiral over being obedient to God, is this really what he wants for me, am I making this relationship an idol, is God going to take it away. I feel you and just hang in there. It’s hard, we just have to take it one day at a time.

I feel the same way😭 my boyfriend and I have been speaking about engagement and I get anxious about it cause of my intrusive thoughts like what if your boyfriend dies before you can get married cause you didn’t do your compulsions😭I struggled with ignoring my intrusive thoughts about the devil or causing other harm through my thoughts, but I need constant reminders to take my thoughts captive and give them to God. He sees me and you and will give us the desires of our heart when we trust in Him🙏 I think when you stop seeking control and pray and surrender your thoughts to God, you will be at peace. God isn’t upset with you for having these thoughts. He is patient and waiting for you to seek Him and seek his peace and His will
