Hi there! I have this same kind of OCD! Here is what I’ve learned to remember when this happens to me: Going through a fight with someone important in your life is a situation that no one wants to experience. Because it’s an unwanted and uncomfortable experience, your mind instantly starts thinking of the worst case scenario that could result from your situation. Therefore, your mind conjures up unwanted thoughts. What I’ve learned with myself is that if you have a negative and intrusive thought in that negative situation, if it ONLY comes up in those situations, and if you don’t really give it much thought in any other setting and it isn’t something you are seriously considering, you probably don’t need to pay attention to those thoughts. If the thought doesn’t recur when things are going great, it may not carry as much weight as it seems. Hope this helps!!!😊😊👏🏻👏🏻

hi! i struggle with the same thing of tellinh myself i wouldn’t care if my boyfriend and i broke up but it’s more so an intrusive thought in random situations where nothings wrong. then if we are in a fight i start to freak out that we might break up and i get super sad. how can i tell myself i wouldn’t be sad and then get sad every time. it’s kind of the flip flop of this persons situation and i do pay more attention to the thought that i wouldn’t care because it holds more weight because it’s not coming from a moment when we’re fighting. sorry if that made no sense

@🤎 Well I like how you mentioned that you freak out and get sad if you’re in a fight. If that is your initial, knee jerk reaction, I would say that the feeling that you’d get sad is a true feeling, which in a way, could restore confidence in the relationship and help to expel or lessen those intrusive thoughts. Does that help?

@lvm909 i think so! it’s sometimes just so hard deciphering between actual feelings and intrusive thoughts that hold no meaning. thank you for your advice!

@🤎 I totally understand! I struggle with intrusive thoughts a lot. I wish I could practice what I preach, it’s just really hard. But I’m so glad I was able to help!

I don't want to break up with my girlfriend but..
I keep having this overwhelming thought of "I need to break up with her," however I really don't want to. It causes me so much anxiety when I try to fight the urge to the point that I'm bed ridden and unable to work. Is this normal for ROCD or am I just fighting my actual feelings?

“What if” thoughts
Does anyone get “what if I don’t wanna be with my partner and I wanna be with someone else but I don’t wanna get hurt so I won’t break up? “ wouldn’t I know? I’ would’ve done it by now
