Does anyone have any inspiring ROCD stories? I always see people struggling with the same ROCD symptoms that I suffer with but I want to hear any positive recovery stories of people overcoming ROCD and did your relationship thrive afterwards?

Yes!! I had very very severe ROCD to the point where my bf broke up with me (we had plans to get married, spend our lives together etc) because it was so out of control. I was deveastated but seeked therapy and a year passed and we got back together. we are in a relationship now and he now knows it was ROCD that was sabotaging our relationship, and now I’m able to accept the thoughts and acknowledge that it’s my ocd acting up, not how I really feel about him. I feel so much lighter now and our relationship is growing healthier each day!

I’m so happy for you! Do you feel like you’re in love with him again? And you don’t feel the need to question anything

I have a boyfriend of 7 years and we also see ourselves getting married. We had a rough past 2 years and now ROCD is really challenging us of things from the past and he kinda wants certainty and I can’t give that to him right now. I really hope everything comes back because I know I love him but I just can’t feel it right now

Yes I do! And we’ve also been together 7 years (on and off though) but yes occasionally the thoughts pop up and I get the urge to question him, but I’m not as impulsive anymore and take more time to resist the urge to ask. A lot of it has to do with my deeper sense of acceptance and understanding in that moment that the feeling Im getting is rocd and I don’t actually need certainty about his past. I hope this helps wish you the best!
