You don't have to keep watching over and over again it's a compulsions you aren't using it to inform yourself but you are using it to check what you feel

What you feel is urges, people with ROCD often feel the urge to break up

I can’t even touch him anymore bc I feel like a lier... it’s clouding if I really wanna be with him or not anymore.... I’ve been dealing with ROCD for too many years so how can I figure out if this is truly me... I don’t even know if I am being tricked by ROCD at all... I am wait g for my doctor to respond back so I can have appointment made to get help..

@Mandy7710 Okayy so you’re looking for results but not doing anything....I’m not saying that to make you feel any type of way but you can’t expect change if you don’t put in the work. Believe me when i say ERP helps a whole bunch. Cause when i stopped doing my exercises i fell right back into that place. If you need help in what to do there’s a bunch of us here that can help ya. Awaken into love is a great podcast but it’s also very reassuring so i didn’t find it helpful until i found ways to help myself before. You WILL get through this

@Mandy7710 Well I’m currently receiving therapy through NOCD....but you can always so erp at home. You just need to find your triggers and obsessions. And yes you’re experiencing a lot of guilt at the moment and i 100% get that but once you start working on it and dealing with it head on all these feelings start to subside. There’s light at the end of the tunnel!

@Anonymous I hope so.... bc the one thing that is convincing me is that I don’t wanna have sex with him making me feel like I don’t find him sexually attractive anymore... when I do find him sexually attractive... I am so upset bc before this I loved having sex with him sure I had thoughts back then too but it wasn’t enough to stop me...

@Mandy7710 Yeaa i understand that completely. Our rocd can make us believe a million and one different things but you are not your thoughts. Do you find yourself not wanting to because you’re afraid that the thought of not finding him attractive enough will come up during intimacy?

@Anonymous Yes 😭 I had so many thoughts before and that made me avoid sex completely and now I feel like there are no thoughts!

@Mandy7710 Well then you’re avoiding and that’s no good either. Try and try your hardest to push yourself and during try and stay in the moment without letting your mind ruminate. It’ll be hard but keep pushing

@Mandy7710 you either start doing what's hard or you may eventually lose him. not everybody can handle that kind of thing.
