I just moved in with my boyfriend and that triggered my rocd episode. I’ll be honest I didn’t cope well. Not until I got strict with myself and got back on my medication (which is helpful for me but may not be for you) and stopped my compulsions. It’s hard but once you get into the routine it isn’t that hard any more. Having self compassion while also being strict with yourself has really helped me

@hirokilledme I’m on Zoloft. But what works for me might not work for you! So definitely consult with your doctor if you are thinking about getting on medication and they’ll try to find a good fit for you :)

I don’t know how to cope yet either but I’ve been stuck in a bad episode for a bout a week. It started coming in waves about 3 weeks ago now it’s full-on bad again. If I find anything that works I’ll let you know. I’m always here if you wanna talk. Stay strong ❤️

Same here. I broke up with my boyfriend 2 months ago and about 3 weeks ago my OCD started getting really bad again. I hope you find something that works. I’m always here if you wanna talk about anything.

Yes moving to a new city with my partner triggered my ocd initially, then again this summer, the death of a close loved one triggered my ocd again along with new themes from all the stress I was under

Same thing happened to me! 2 years ago I moved across the country with my then boyfriend. Everything shut down a couple months after we got there and being alone away from my family and friends and working from home all the time really made my OCD unbearable. After moving back home and doing therapy through NOCD it got a million times better. Then 2 months ago I broke up with him, and now it’s just sort of setting in that I probably won’t ever see him again. And my OCD has been horrible. I’m so sorry for your loss! The whole community is always here for you if you need to talk about anything.

I never used to have a hard time making friends. Then I went into high school and had a terrible year socially. It made me start to wonder if something was genuinely wrong with me, because suddenly I couldn't seem to strike up a conversation with anyone. I transferred schools, but by that point my confidence was already through the floor. Tenth grade was Act I, but ninth grade definitely set the stage.
