I’m not gunna reassure you and say yes this is ocd. But what I will tell you is that ocd will try anything to trick you into thinking that you found “your truth”. I also am going through rocd and sometimes it feels like that. But you have to hold onto that little hope. That you do love him. Hold onto that. Just know that you are not alone and we are here for you. I suggest looking up Awaken into love on YouTube, she has a lot of good content and she also went through rocd. Just try not to use her videos as reassurance or as a complusion. I know right now it seems like everything is different but you just have to accept that’s how things are right now. Keep doing erp and I promise things will get better.

That’s your ocd talking. Don’t listen to it. Do the opposite of what it tells you

Are you positive. It feels so genuine. Like I don’t feel anxious or anything

@cozycat I don’t want to reassure you but from other posts iv read it does seem that you love him. Or else you wouldn’t be having such a hard time. As an exposure, write a break up letter. I can’t tell you what to do, you just have to trust yourself. And I know it’s hard with ocd cause you can’t trust anything. Ask yourself, if you didn’t have ocd would you be having urges of breaking up with him?

Try to be kind to yourself @cozycat I know it can feel impossible. Try and go for a walk grab a coffee, don’t sit init both literally & mentally. I’ve just taken myself out, 1. To pick up my prescription, but I’ve stopped in a cafe I love & got a coffee and very late lunch/ early dinner (I’m in the UK) maybe reach out to your therapist on Monday morning. Slow steps, I’ve just spoken to my GP and been prescribed something to hopefully help with the thoughts & anxiety. With my new job I’ll be signing up to therapy privately. It will get better because your taking the right steps 💖💖

It’s like I feel happy about it. And it was like “partners name we have to break up” and that made me think it felt good.

Thank you so much for this because it’s all I’ve been thinking about for the past 3 days. It’s awlful, yesterday I spent the whole day in bed just feeling broken. But knowing there are other people in the world experiencing this & recovering makes me feel hopeful.

It feels like I don’t even like him any more. It’s insane. I used to be so anxious and now it just feels as though I feel this way

I know this is going to seem like reassurance seeking which it 100% is but I’ve been struggling on the same thought for a long time now. The thought of breaking up with my significant other has been going through my head for months now and I don’t know what to do. I don’t want to break up with him but my OCD is making me feel like I have no choice to and it’s starting to make me feel like that’s my only option to happiness, it’s all starting to feel so real. Any thoughts or advice? Or anyone else go through this or something similar?

Is it a gut feeling or OCD
I just have this overwhelming feeling at the moment that ‘this isn’t right’ and ‘you don’t really love him’ etc. It’s not even a million intrusive thoughts, just a feeling. I have broken up with majority of my ex’s in the past, so I fear that this feeling is the same one I have had before ending things with someone. I stupidly went back over messages to a friend when I knew I was going to end a previous relationship and in those messages I was saying ‘it just doesn’t feel right I need to end it’. And I did and I felt relieved after. But I don’t want to end it, I love my partner deeply. He is my best friend and we have a great relationship. Any help out there would be great right now if anyone can relate.

Please help, rocd
I genuinely concerned. I have relationship ocd and see all these posts more so of partner focused, it being attracted to other people. I don’t have this at all. All my ocd is relationship focused and I’m starting to think it’s not ocd anymore!! Every single second I feel like I want to or should break up with him. I don’t feel that spark or infatuation and haven’t since the beginning. What if we just aren’t a good match? Even though he thinks we are. He’s my first healthy relationship. I feel sick. I feel like I’m prolonging the breakup because I just don’t wanna be alone or hurt him 😢
