It's important to know that these aren't "real" doubts per se; OCD’s power lies in making you feel like something is uncertain—even when it isn’t. What does your OCD make you doubt?
my feelings for my boyfriend and how good a person i actually am :(
@Anonymous Lmao yall I don’t love that you and Hopeful 21 also experience this… but you are certainly not alone. I particularly experience the same thing as you.
@Anonymous im going through the same thing girl. my boyfriend is perfect but we haven’t been having sex and i’ve only known him for 3 months. he’s the most stable and consistent person ive ever been with but the sexually chemistry just isn’t there and im scared im going to throw away the best person ive ever dated because i cant get past this
You're not alone. Remember, you are SO much stronger than your OCD.
@gucci33 Gucci wishing you the joy and happiness in this relationship. I also have experienced ROCD. I want to let you know what i discovered though. Focusing on the intimacy (as my ocd did) turned out to be less important in the end. But doing things….experiences…quality time was where it was at
@HRG ok thank you. im just not used to sex not being the main factor so its throwing me off completely
Makes me doubt if I am a good person, or if I a mental illness that I will never learn to live life with
Thank you so much for taking the time to share. You are not alone in this.
Whether or not I'm dangerous or not
Whether or not I'm a good person
Felt this.
I forced myself to cook it was hard but I did it small wins
I LOVE this for you! Keep up the amazing work!
My health. Always scared what I have isn’t ocd and it’s something far worse and untreatable. Fear of anxiety and fear of my own emotions and thoughts
Seeing this comment proves how unoriginal ocd is because I have the same fears. Fear that it could be something worse and fear of my emotions and what they might indicate. Fear of the anxiety itself. Regardless of the theme its the same old ocd. Sending you compassion.
@Anonymous I know OCD truly is unoriginal. F ocd. Sending you compassion and support as well.
This is so relatable.
Makes me doubt of my accomplishments in life... or I've been a failure at all my roles... who the heck told me or made me think I was good??? I'm not.
OCD is SO obnoxious.
Makes me doubt my memories. I can doubt something that someone said to me minutes ago 🤷♀️
Relatable.
This is hell on earth I can’t enjoy anything with this I feel like I’m crazy
I’m currently experiencing false memory ocd. I’ve been struggling with different intrusive thoughts basically every single week since October. I was in an ocd spiral when all of a sudden the thought “did you kiss someone and cheat on your boyfriend last summer on your trip”. There was a night a guy asked me for my number and I told him “no I have a boyfriend” period. Now my ocd has clung to that night and keeps saying “are you sure you didn’t kiss that guy when you were sitting at the table while your friends went for a cigarette?”. Again, I’ve never thought about that night since then because there was nothing to think about, I didn’t do anything wrong. But now I keep beating myself up as if I had cheated, when logically I know I didn’t, but my ocd just won’t drop it and keeps being like “you sure?” It’s so hard. I don’t know how to move passed this one. Does anyone have tips on how I can reassure myself that this is in fact my ocd playing with my head. I love my boyfriend so much and would never cheat on him.
Whether I am incompetant or not
If I love my husband enough. If we're compatible enough. If I'm attracted enough.
Makes me doubt my morals - makes me think I cheated on my boyfriend every time I go out and just forget when there is no evidence that I did, and morally never would. Only comes up days or weeks later.
It makes me doubt my gender, even though I've always liked being me and have never questioned that, it's so frustrating 😞
Makes me doubt my ability to feel fulfilled in my sex life because my fiance has more and different experiences than me.
Yes my OCD makes me doubt my memories, and then to make it worse certain people use that to gaslight me into thinking my traumatic memories are in my head.
If I’m being honest enough, or if I’m lying by omission or not being accurate enough
