I’ve said many many things out of confusion over the past 5 years of my relationship (with ROCD) and even my boyfriend knows I was obviously panicking and not thinking clearly. You’re not “emotionally abusive” for having compulsions. It’s okay to feel bad for the things you’ve said, but you have to give yourself credit for the hell you go through. My boyfriend and I went through the same thing and had to learn that I’m not being emotionally abusive, I’m just acting on obsessions. You. Aren’t. A. Bad. Person. And if I had to guess from the compassion in your post, you’re extremely kind hearted. growth is possible and were in this together!!

Are you getting any support? Zoloft on it's own may not be enough. Experienced therapist is likely to be needed too.

Emotional abuse can occur without malicious intent. For example, neglect is a form of emotional abuse a caretaker of mine growing up suffered from depression and was not always emotionally present which was neglect. Does that make her a bad person? Fuck no. You are not a bad person. Mental illness often does effect those around us negatively but it does not make us bad people. If you are not trying to harm someone you are not a bad person. You are not your mental illness even though it can be overpowering and feel like you. I have been dumped for my rocd compulsions and I am so sorry you are going through this. I understand the guilt but you have to remember that you are not a bad person.

I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....

I’ve been trying my best with ERP and just everything that’s going on. I have severe OCD, GAD, PMDD, panic disorder, recently diagnosed ADHD, and currently experiencing a major depressive episode. Apparently. I was taking a break from this app but I really need support right now. My family is honestly really mean and not understanding of what I’m going through. Right now it’s gotten bad to the point I had to withdrawal from my last semester of university. My only support is my boyfriend and he’s now planning to join the military. I won’t be able to talk to him for 3 months and I feel really scared of being alone with all of this. I know I shouldn’t depend on him to begin with but right now I’m at an extremely low point and I feel like I won’t make it alone. There hasn’t been a single day we haven’t texted and talked in 4 years. I feel really scared, but I don’t want to hold him back. You guys, I feel so sad and terrified right now. I don’t want him to go, he’s all I have.
