my rocd hasn’t spiked this way since it first hit but, my bf sent me a pic of him where he kinda looked weird and my ocd keeps sending me thoughts that tell me i think he’s ugly and that i should leave him because he has all these physical flaws. would a good erp exercise be to focus on these flaws without checking to see how i feel about them?

Your post sort of made me chuckle. We never know when OCD will hit huh? I think a good exercise (if your ready) would be to try look at that picture, maybe for 2 whole minutes, with a compulsion message until your anxiety peaks and runs it’s course?

I have ROCD and I'm going through this right now. When I get really bad, I can't even look my partner in the eye because every time I look at him I just think that I don't find him attractive. I spend so much time focusing on his physical attributes that my mind gets super warped about what he actually looks like. Then I feel like I'll never feel attracted to him ever again and that we should break up. THANKS OCD, YOU TOTAL D**K ?
