Can ROCD last for months??

That’s correct ... I’m bad at min I really love my partner and really want to be with her but I keep thinking I don’t and every other woman I see I’m like ohh I’d love to be with her then feel guilty like I’m a cheat etc it’s all ocd I know but still feels shit just have to ride it out the thing is if we really didn’t want to be with our partners in reality we wouldn’t feel crap about it we would just be like see ya the pain and anxiety that comes with rocd is mainly because I’m truth we really want why we already have it’s just the thoughts and feelings from the signals the brains sending makes us focus in on thoughts that mean nothing

@gavsherry Ya. I know what I mean. I been with my girlfriend for a short time. We moved really fast. Which is my ROCD. Then I panic because I start questioning everything and feeling like I cannot contain my insecurities and be stable for her or myself

@gavsherry do you ever feel like there’s no hope so you might as well end things but you don’t want to????? Your situation sounds very similar to mine

@hopeful4healing Ya. Exactly. But I genuinely have hurt her because of my freaking out. She is pulling away from me. She is angry with me. And I want to be loved. I still find her beautiful and I lust for her. But I when these fears that I might get her pregnant by accident, and my life would be ruined. I have many fears like that. I don’t know whether I need to change and get better and make this relationship work or break up. It is increasingly looking like I should. I don’t eat. I am always sad. I feel like crying all the time. I am afraid to reach out to her. I feel like I can’t cope. So much anxiety. But this has been my life in all my relationships. Short and long. I break down and have to hit rock bottom and break up. I am sick of it. I am sick of being hurt like this.

@hopeful4healing All I can say. If you are losing your friends and if you feel like you are losing yourself in your relationship... that is never good. It has happened to me so many times that i have very few friends now. And those who i call friends... I only go when I need to vent about my issues. I can barely have fun with them. I push them away I am sorry. I really hate my ROCD. I just want love, acceptance and be with someone makes me feel good about myself

@drnemer Then this maybe the 1 worth fighting ocd for dude ? Iv realises iv had ocd most of my life and iv split with past partners because I “thought” I didn’t want to be with them never knowing I was going through rocd this time I’m refusing to let her go I want to be with her we get on great and have a very good relationship she is the 1 that I will fight for to break free of this devil the pain will be worth the prize keep fighting alway here if u need a chat
