Ye rocd is hard man, Everytime I think of my girlfriend I get this feeling of fear and anxiety and guilt and my brain keeps telling me that I don't like her anymore and I want to break up with her

I hate it so much, then false memory comes into it, did I climax over my girlfriend or someone else but I can never find the answer so then I feel like I’ve cheated and I hate it so much bc I would never cheat or ever want to cheat on her

I have similar issues. I get sudden anxieties that pop in my head saying “You dont even like him that way. You should stop seeing him.” It makes me feel so guilty

I feel this to my core. ROCD is horrifyingly exhausting and makes you question every single damn thing you feel, thing, wonder. And the guilt! The guilt being there just makes it feel more accurate! Either way, OCD is like the Wizard of Oz; lots of smoke and mirrors and yet, it's a stupid little man behind a curtain pulling levers.

@aysepasey🔅 It’s horrible bc it makes me feel like I’ve wronged her when I know I’ve not and it’s not my fault these thoughts pop into my head, I didn’t want them to pop into my head, and I would never cheat and it just feel so shit bc if I ever cheated I would leave the relationship, but I would never cheat but somehow it feels like I have

@liamb1407 Yes me too. I feel like i’ve wronged him by ‘tricking’ him into a relationship. Sometimes i think like “what if this isnt even your ocd and youre using ocd to cover up your faults”

@aysepasey🔅 It’s horrible and no one should have to go through this, I just want it to go bc I know I switched the thought straight away but the ocd is making me question it and making me feel like I’ve wronged and cheated on her, I hate it I’m so tired of it

I'm gonna try to embody this too. I want to marry my partner, dammit, and there's nothing ROCD can say or do about it to change my heart.

Also I agree 💯 it's scary AF to agree because what if something lights up in you that says it's correct? Turns out that's also OCD, so my therapist says. It always wants to stay in the shadows, unseen and free to wreak havok.

This is tough!! I learned that if you agree with the OCD thought, like "yeah, sure, this must mean I want to break-up" it totally takes its power away. It's like laughing at a bully. Still trying this out because honestly it terrifies me, but at this point I'll try anything.

Yeah I’m trying my best too and it’s scary bc it feels like I’m agreeing with a massive fear, and sometimes “imposter syndrome” comes in so then i feel like it’s true

@liamb1407 I hear ya. I think the imposter syndrome may be a moment where your OCD suddenly is called out and doesn't know how to respond? Like it's neither you nor your OCD doing the thinking in that moment; kinda like when a cartoon burglar is caught mid-theft, they freeze. It's gonna take some time, and give yourself some grace. Rome wasn't built in a day, no matter how much we want it to be. You've got this.

I keep panicking because 'im not in love' with my gf and we've only been going out for a month. I can't listen to music or watch movies anymore about relationships because it makes me feel so guilty that I don't like her anymore

You’re not alone, it’s shit but it does get easier by doing erp but that’s really scary to do but really effective if done right, I know how scary it can be just like everyone here, you can do it

Does anyone struggle with the OCD thought of lust while in a relationship? I get all these intense feelings and feelings that I want to have these thoughts with other people besides my boyfriend in my head yknow? And I’m afraid that these feelings are true and that i want to think these things but I don’t. I’ve been having a hard time this evening with this because the feelings and sensations I have on my body are really strong. And I feel like I sinned against him.

TMI!! Hey everyone, I was coming on here to ask if anyone has experienced this before! Im in an amazing relationship with my boyfriend so in this post I wanted to ask this question because this is how it felt to me! I remembered earlier today I was watching this movie, etc. and there was this spicy scene in it (iykyk) and it got me feeling some sort of way. This has happened before especially if I’ve played a game or watched a show with some content like this. I felt really in the mood and started to imagine my boyfriend and I doing those things together and I sort of decided to (yanno, the m word) hopefully everyone understands because I just don’t like saying the word😭, but I found that every time I do that, that’s when my ocd is at its worst/peak. Every time my mind has tried to convince me I’ve cheated, when I self pleasure. I get in the mood if I think of my boyfriend and I doing those things I see in movies, shows etc, and that’s when I’ll do it, But literally I realized after I’ve done that at times my ocd is at its worst because my mind will attack me constantly asking “Is this cheating? Does this make me a horrible girlfriend?” If I self pleasure, I also want to add that I mentioned it to my boyfriend at one time and he told me it wasn’t at all and that everything is okay, but constantly I feel guilty for it and extremely horrible. Just wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this?

I was having intimacy. Watching p0rn. And during climax i got intrusive thoughts a d anxious. I hate when this happens. As a compulsion whenever i get intrusive ocd thoughts i usually think of my wife or therapist (whose a man) and say their name. For my wife its because shes the love of my life. My comfort. And during intimacy of course to arouse over her. When i think of my therapist its not anything sexual its just like a comforting thought since hes the one that is helping me thru ocd. But now ocd is saying why did i think lf him during climax. And in my head i heard my voicr saying his name but this was my way of distracting myself from the intrusive thoughts. It wasnt to arouse myself over him it was tk distract myself and it wasnt a compulsion. Ocd tries associating it with my sexual experience and its making me feel very guilty and anxious. Then i worry was i saying his name. I did in my head but it wasnt again a compulsion tk distract from ocd. Then that made me anxious so i said my wifes name and thougjt kf her. I just had intrusive thought so i panicked and out of compulsive habit i usual say thr name of my wifr and therapist
