I’m so sorry you’re going through this ! That’s just such shit that this is being used against you. I honestly think as long as you have your doctors to back you up that shouldn’t even be allowed to be used against you. I wish you the best of luck

I’m sorry that I unfortunately have no legal advice, but it’s really unkind for her to attack a part of you that is an illness. I hope everyone involved in the decision making can see that.

I'm so sorry that you're going through this. It sounds extremely unfair and hurtful for her to use your imagination script writing to build a case against you. I obviously am not a legal professional, but I recommend getting a really good lawyer who understands mental health law and like others say, check with your therapists on here to see if you can give consent to release your records to a judge, as it will hopefully show that you have POCD and imagination script writing is part of your treatment plan.

I’m so sorry to hear that you’re going through this, and that this kind of stuff is happening to people with common mental illnesses :( I don’t know any of the legal aspects surrounding this issue, but I strongly recommend having a competent lawyer and mental health professionals who are knowledageable about OCD to back you up. It is so unfair and stigmatizing that this is being used against you, and I wish you the best with whole issue! If you’re comfortable sharing, I’m sure when it’s all over many of us would be very interested to hear what happens!

Thanks everyone, I will let everyone know. I have the signed diagnosis from the therapist and the notion that erp is the most common practice. But I never went through therapy fully because my wife and her family said that “I would be sinning” and Satan would have a grip on me. I’ve been on medication since November and my world changed completely. The medication was discouraged in the past as well from my wife and her family. Again, I work full time, took care of my children, have a good career and been able to live a full life with this. So the fact that she is using it and twisting it to a lie makes me sick. If it’s certified therapy, wouldn’t she be lying?

This is torture I can't even imagine what you must gone through . Yes she is lying . ERP is a form of therapy which is verified and please get a therapist to testify on your behalf. Take your medication if that is what helps you and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Hi again, I’m so glad to hear you have professionals on your side and also that you are finally able to access medication and treatment! I think that if everyone involved follows science and logic everything will be fine. I strongly believe that what she’s saying is not valid, especially against the word of professionals. We support you on this app, and I hope that will give you some hope as well :)

Yeah it’s just as if she’s using the ocd fear and making it real in another way

Yeah I’m just trying to find a way to get a credible therapist to testify for me. I have the signed diagnosis with recommended therapy. But how would I get someone to speak to it. I don’t want to lose my children.

I don't understand a lot about divorces in the law aspect, but I imagine that the doctor who diagnosed you could prove that the script is just a part of therapy. As long as he is an actual doctor with license and all that, whoever decides about who gets the custody of your kids can't use the script as an evidence.

Hello everyone I need some advice. I’ve struggled with what I think and hope is ocd for a long time. It started when I was 14 I had a concussion and my brain convinced myself for 9 months that I had this concussion. Then I had a gf at 15 before we were official I did a terrible thing im regretful of it for sure. I kissed another girl. I told my now ex girlfriend about it and I started to overthink the situation and think maybe I slept with the girl or maybe we did more than kiss. In reality we didn’t. when I turned 16 I started having thoughts of maybe I cheated on her with other girls at our school. It would be false memories of me sleeping or doing things with 4 or 5 other girls. That eventually went away as I would ask reassurance like a crazy person. Then one day what I believe was either Christmas time or new years around that time I had this thought “what if I SA’d my ex little sister?” This thought tormented me for so long I couldn’t believe it. As she was so young it would be impossible for me to do that without someone noticing plus that’s absolutely horrifying and disgusting and I’ve never ever ever ever been alone with her or desired to. Then what I knew would happen came along with me thinking I SA’d my little sister or my baby brother at the time. It was a horrible experience. Then it went to me thinking I was a pedo without the false memories. Then it went to my other siblings thinking I did something to them in their sleep, I did something to the pets, etc. As I got older I realized what ocd was and what I was going through and it eventually all went away. But as time goes on I’m now almost 24 I have spiraled back into thinking I SA my ex little sister. It’s crazy because I’ve never had that desire or anything at all it would absolutely break me if that was true. With something like this saying maybe not maybe it did is crazy because it’s a serious thing. I’m getting therapy on Monday and am just wanting my life back. I just recently got engaged to my beautiful fiancé and I want to be regular again. Anyone have any advice or even have gone through the same scenarios? It’s just so tough.

What is a common family joke. OCD is hereditary on my father's side. However I also live with complex PTSD, and ADHD. I didn't learn till recently how severe my OCD is and the intensity gets amplified if the though goes to either of the other two. It's a loop I've identified recently... just little too late. I've lived with OCD for years not really addressing it till I see that's the very reason I cause damage to loved ones. I'm married, 33, a vet. My marriage is not in the best place now. I have a son who's 4 and already showing signs of OCD. Currently my marriage is at a point where we are working on ourselves. It's discovered that my wife's issues are reflections of my own. I understand fully now that I am the center of the issues but also the solution. I need help for me. What happens with my relationships depends on me showing that I am better and able to process thoughts and emotions better. Journaling helps alot. Trying to do hobbies or this that and 3rd but. I'm willing to try anything. Things are on a line. I'm open to any and all POV and ideas. I'm not out crying. I'm taking a big step for me. Something 25 years over due. Thank you for reading this. As I tell myself now. You'll best this and be better

I’ve been really struggling with Relationship OCD since I got married, and 3 years later, I’m afraid I’ve lost the love of my life. Between the Relationship OCD, the Religious OCD, and the Sexuality OCD, she couldn’t handle it anymore. Now that she left, the fog of doubt has faded, and I’m realizing how much I truly loved her all along. I just don’t understand how our minds can play such sabotaging tricks on us. And why? I don’t know what to do. I hope and pray we eventually get back together, but I know I need help. I want to do whatever I can to return to a place where she can feel loved by me, the way she did before ROCD took over. Is anyone here going through something similar? Has anyone overcome ROCD? Were you able to repair your relationship? I’d really appreciate any insight or advice. Thank you.
