Looking for some rOCD friends here. Been with my boyfriend for over a year and it hit almost 2 months in and hasn’t stopped.

hey! I have rocd too. It really sucks. I think the best exposure is staying in the relationship. Let it run its course. I've been working (for around 3 months now) to let go of the questions i would ruminate over. It's not easy by any stretch, but ultimately there are no answers. Meditation and living in the moment, learning to recognize the "spiral" of OCD thoughts, and simply staying in the relationship and putting in the work have all helped me. The article, "i think it moved" by Steven Phillipson is a really good resource.

Same!! Just know that choosing to stay dedicated to your partner and treating this for what it is - OCD - is the best thing you can do. I broke up with my partner this summer because of ROCD (before I knew what it was) and it actually just made the obsession even worse, because I couldn’t understand why I had ended things and why I wasn’t getting the relief I thought I would. So hang in there, because that’s the best thing you can do to fight this!!

I have it. I have excessive doubt in relationship. It really really sucks. I am too afraid to get to a stage in therapy well I will be exposed to ROCD obsessions.

I have ROCD too, I’ve been with my boyfriend for almost 2 years but HOCD has come up more. It totally sucks.

How long have you been in your relationship?

I have it too :(

Same here! It’s so annoying, it’s the start of my relationship ship so those thoughts are really present rn it sucks

Same here! Almost 9 months of intrusive thoughts and dominating all day every day. But it’s a lot more manageable than before! The frequency hasn’t changed but I’m able to work past them easier. I’m still struggling bad but we will all get there! Keep in mind every experience is different, don’t feel worried that yours isn’t the same as mine. That’s something I ruminated over a lot xx

I worry because sometimes I see a guy and at times want him more than my boyfriend - not because of the intimacy, but just because it’s something different.

Hi I have it too! Ur amongst friends! B strong

I feel physically crippled by it! Don’t worry, there are so many people who know what you’re feeling

I have it too, didn’t know it was an ocd thing before this app
