Ever since I found out about some relationship stuff, I can't stop obsessing about how I'm not the one now and that everything is ruined and that it's all just horrible. I feel like total trash, like nothing will ever work out, I tried, but I can't make myself feel better and when I don't obsess about it I feel like kind of ok, but then it creeps back and destroys everything.... I'm so torn because my logical OCD side says there's reasons to be worried, bit then my more logical / rational non OCD side says forget it, move on. I can't figure out how to cope with this all.

@sebastian Thanks for the comment, yeah, when I saw that he messaged another guy that he used to see, j was deveistated.... But he claimed it was just for attention, no intention of actually meeting up, I'll never know which is the truth and that kills me. So now I can't trust him, but I want to and he cried and apologized so I almost left, but I didn't. I got sucked back in. And now every day I just think about this all, Taoist philosophy stuff was helping when I was single if I got stuck on a loop, but because he is the stimuli I can't get out of it and it doesn't help that he is not very nice about any of it either and he always tells me how gross my female part is and can't get through sex with me, but then tells me he only wants me and yeah it's so confusing and missleadi g, all his behavior has me in such a cognitive dissonance and I don't even know what I think, so then j kust worry and worry and obsess and obsess about it, doesn't help that I have nothing but time to do this right now. Oh gosh it's so painful being with him, I never felt like I wasn't enough for someone before just because of my gender.

@sebastian Thanks for that, I needed to hear something like this. Super appreciated! Makes me feel like I'm not then the only one for thinking that, because it is in fact not right, I'm always self doubting.

You have to end the cycle and the thought spiral by ripping off the band aid and exposing yourself to your fears. But, you can do that slowly. If this is a “bad relationship” or whatever, you are strong and you can survive it.

And it's so bad because I was obsessed with him at first, but now it's just the obsession of worry, there was too many questionable past things from him, but more importantly there has been to many things that have happened since learning things that have made it near impossible to stop worrying. Oh God it's so bad.

And there's no affection , the reassurance I would need to feel like it's hopeful is way out of the reach of what is reasonable from any person.

Hmm can you expose yourself in baby steps, like watching movies or tv shows about this topic? That’s what I try to do. I find I avoid movies about love because of my OCD.

So I'm stuck in the middle of being in love with my soul mate who is do anything for and wondering if everything is wrong and hopeless because of the facts, the facts show this is a bad relationship. But I'm dumb, so I believe that there's hope, then I just feel foolish, no point , it just goes on and on.

Also you’re a girl so you have like way more options than a guy has (well a straight guy anyway) so I’m sure you can find someone who’s heterosexual or at least more honest with you.

@sebastian I thought of this, but I dedicated myself, I don't want to give up on someone, I don't know, I liked everything about him until I found out about the gay hookups. Then it changed everything.

I tried to erp myself with the disturbing finding of him n out relationship, but it just pushed me into the deepest depression, I think I went to far with trying to please him or erp about it, thinking k may be a bad person for not being more ok with his gay permiscous past, that back fired badly... And ending the cycle, I'm not even sure how to do that, he is dependent on my, so I can't even really do things to get my mind off of us for long because of that... Oh God.... Hey, thanks a lot for responding to me, I really appreciate that anyone would take the time out.

I have, alongside my other OCD themes, an intense fear of insomnia. Although this has been improving somewhat — partly thanks to medication and The sleep school on YouTube — I still find myself ruminating about it throughout the day when I have something important the next day, I get stuck in the fear that everything will be ruined — for both myself and others — because my mind is so preoccupied with sleep. + a fear of depression coming back. It honestly feels like a form of sleep OCD. I'm not sure if that’s an official thing, but that’s how it feels to me. A form of erp is the idea of befriending wakefulness. That works great tbh. Things like sleep hygiene, meditation, etc. — tend to backfire because my OCD latches onto them and becomes too obsessive about “doing them right.” I’m genuinely wondering whether ERP — for example in the form of a worst-case-scenario audio loop (imaginal exposure) — could be helpful in this case. I’m hesitant to start unless I know it can actually help. Is there anyone who has experience with this or thoughts about it? I’m not looking for reassurance or tips to fall asleep — only for ideas on how ERP might be applied in this situation.

I’ve had relationship OCD for about five months now and it’s been excruciating, I know it’s relationship OCD but my brain can’t grasp it, I was doing very well for about a week a few days or a week. It’s about the only amount of time where I feel that sense of clarity or almost back to normal definitely not normal but life seems pleasant again. I made a bad mistake. I was with my friend on a sleepover and we decided that we wanted to eat some good food and be stoned because we enjoy eating food and being stoned since it tastes much better, no I believe this just made it worse. I know that weed can be worse for some people. It can make them overthink and I think it’s triggered me to relapse, because my worries and intrusive thoughts are about something so much more worrying in a way and it feels so much more real, I guess I’m hyper focusing on every single thing about my partner’s personality every floor and everything he doesn’t do, and my brain is telling me that means I should break up with him, ”if he dosent do this this means the relationship isn’t right” “ or anything happens my brain will tell me that I’m losing interest or losing feelings and I get many intrusive statements. Like “you like being single more” literally any time I’m enjoying myself alone And I’m getting many that don’t make sense “he doesn’t accept you for who you are so that means that you need to break up” over an interest that we both have…… And it’s so frustrating because any time I talk to him about anything serious or obviously I’m not happy about something because that’s normal in relationships not everyone is gonna do everything right so you have to communicate it but then I could get intense urge to break up and it makes me upset, or when I’m trying to tell him how I feel my brain will just say that I need to break up it’s honestly so confusing and I’m falling back into the compulsions and reassurance seeking all over again and my brain is making me believe it’s not relationship OCD because what if it’s not relationship OCD and it’s actually not the right relationship for me? But I don’t want it to be that I love him so much and I honestly can’t imagine not being with him. It’s so confusing and my head hurts and I just need someone to talk to.
