Yes it is a good exposures, also watching romantic movies or romantic songs could be great exposures
I avoid those because I worry my love isn't the same as their love
Me too.....
You are not alone. We have to stay strong, it's a difficult journey
You’re not alone.
It's constant all the time. "Dont love don't love, check, wrong, without love, no love, love love love love him love him don't don't dont" all the damn time 😪
I constantly do that as well. I think throughout my who relationship I had ROCD bc I had a lot of moments I would still test my feelings for him even though nothing threatening was happening. I still knew I loved him a lot so I stopped randomly. I compared him to other men. Now I am looking at his every flaw...but he does a lot he pays for bills, he cooks me yummy food, he works a lot more than he use to. I remember back then I constantly would say I know I’m not love with him just to see how I would react.. I never got my ocd treated sadly... I am scared I am really gonna lose him this time and that I’m not gonna survive this attack in my mind... 😞 it hurts me a lot....
Hey, what’s a good exposure for Rocd? I’ve come up with: obsession - what if I’m not in the right relationship? Trigger - I don’t feel attraction or excitement around my partner. Exposure - snuggle up with my partner and tell him I love him. Superrr scary for me cause...what if I’m leading him on, being dishonest, settling, etc. Is this a good exposure? What exposures have you all tried? Thanks, sorry if this triggered you...or do I say you’re welcome? Ugh, this is all so exhausting, but we’re trying and that’s all we can do.
I want that too
I’m still struggling really bad madly... I really feel like I know it’s me.... I think about all the times he annoyed me... I really think it’s me but I get angry and grossed out at the thought at him or me being with other people... 😖😖 I don’t wanna break up with him bc I know I love him a lot despite his flaws.... I’m still attracted to him a lot but if I say anything sweet my thoughts are like you’re lying or I feel a huge amount of guilt 😭
Same here And today I have so many negative feelings but no anxiety It feels like my mind is inviting and accepting the thoughts. It's irritating I wanna hug him but he is not here with me. LDR
@nimziewd I can completely understand that... 😞 I live with my husband so it’s hard... I know if something did happen I would still suffer bc this is what I want to happen... 😖
How can I say I love him if this is happening to me 😖😭
I don't like these intrusive images and thoughts of my ex. I just want to be happy with my boyfriend. I wanna scream. I want these thoughts to stop. I really just want to be happy with my boyfriend but these stupid intrusive thoughts are pulling me down. And you might be wondering if I had what-if thoughts with other guys, yes. That's why I'm aware it's obsessive intrusive thoughts. This time, it latched on to my ex. My brain is making me think that I love him. I never had intrusive thoughts about him months before when I started suffering from rOCD. It's so scary because the thoughts feel so real. Any advice would be nice. I'm undergoing psychotherapy and meds (fluoxetine 20mg and olanzapine 5mg combo)
I’m so terrified that my feelings are not a product of ROCD and are actually real. They feel real, I think they are, and it makes me mad because I just want to be in a happy relationship but then I have a really real thought that picks apart every aspect of my partner: what he looks like, how he sounds, how he acts, how weird he is, his intelligence, his emotional state, etc. recently it’s been really sad because I feel critical towards him doing normal things like feeling exited, or trying to be funny, or making jokes, or even him being vulnerable and crying. I feel so judgemental and it feels so real, like that’s how I really feel, and maybe I do think he’s a little weird but I don’t want that to stop me from loving him. And I feel like it’s bad for be to think and feel all these things. I don’t want to let these thoughts take over my life and ruin all the growth that him and I have done together, but it honestly feel like that’s how I really feel some days, and idk if it’s ROCD.
Hey everyone! I’d appreciate some help here. I love my girlfriend but I’m constantly worried that I’ve made mistake or that I won’t be happy with her. It’s really stealing a lot of my happiness and is really threatening to break us up. It makes me really sad because I don’t want to hurt her. I have no idea what to do. Sometimes I get so worried about it that I nearly throw up (I know that’s gross, I’m sorry). Any help?
