Anyone else with ROCD feel empty every time they’re with their partner? I want to enjoy it like I used to :/

Yes :( this has happened to me in the past, and while I blamed it originally on my adhd I feel like it couldve been both ocd and adhds combined power to really ruin what I had going.. ive only recently started dating again but the fear of it happening again is so worrying :<

I have adhd too, I want to stay with my partner forever I just hate feeling like I can’t

@OCDuser04 Im the exact same way, ive never heard other people talk about this before here so its nice to at least know other people feel the same :<

@Imp I actually don’t know how my adhd affects the relationship but I’m glad there is someone here who’s disorders clash just like mine hahahah

Yes

I feel like this a lot! And I get easily angered at my partner or start fights.

I’ve been married for almost 8 years, together for 10. It’s a roller coaster. Especially with how stressful the world has been everything acts as one giant trigger. You can make it work. Love is a choice not a feeling. Feelings can come and go and are unreliable when you have OCD.

Thank you 🙏 I have been with my boyfriend for 6 months now and it’s been amazing and I definitely couldn’t do better than having him in my life. However I feel like I don’t enjoy my time with him and only realise how great it was when I come home which is so weird
