Same here!!!!!!! It’s been the hardest months of my life
Honestly:( I literally believe that if I would’ve gotten a job during the summer then none of this would be happening. I was literally home all the time because of summer school. What was the intrusive thought that caused you to spiral?
@Whyyocd If you don’t mind me asking!
@Whyyocd I also think it was stress cause I had just started a new job! And the intrusive thought came when I was being intimate with my partner and then just spiraled from there
@LoverGirl Yeah I definitely think stress has a lot to do with a theme starting or spiking.
Yea it’s so hard because I’ve been with my bf for 8 years and he’s the one I want to marry but all of this makes me doubt everything and I hate it and I just don’t know if I’ll ever get my relationship back and feel like how I did before
Omg 🥺 I’m so sorry 🥺 I really hope you do! I feel the same. I have a boyfriend who I thought was going to be the one but after this theme it’s made me doubt everything as well. I hope we all can get back to the place we were before 🥺
@Whyyocd I’m sorry you’re also going through this. It’s nice to know that I’m not alone. I also hope that we can get that back
I’m asking myself the same thing :(
It’s so hard
@LoverGirl It really is :( did your relationship ocd come before or after SOOCD?
@Whyyocd My first intrusive thought was SOOCD and then I think it triggered ROCD. But it’s so annoying when I think I’m doing good and a theme no longer bothers me it switches back to the other theme. And back and forth.
@LoverGirl Literally same 😞 I’m not even sure if I have ROCD. My main theme that is literally torturing me is SOOCD. All I know is I never had questions about my relationship until this theme came :(
@Whyyocd Yea I really struggle with soocd. I just wish things were how they used to be
@LoverGirl Me too :(
How long have you been dealing with this?
Since the beginning of June. What about you?
I am STRUGGLING. Ugh why did I allow this to happen
I can remember the day I started having intrusive thoughts. I was so confused and scared. It’s been almost 3 months- does it get easier to manage? Currently taking medication and going to therapy, but this is all still very new, and very scary. Please tell me there’s relief in recovery..? I tend to isolate myself from my family, often. I’m tired, so so tired. :( Most days, I just stay on the couch or in bed. I don’t quite get as anxious, but like a “heart stopping” gut feeling when a thought pops up. I miss the me I was before the diagnosis. HOCD is scary and harder when it attacks the loved ones, spouse, in your home. :( My heart hurts.
Please tell me it gets easier…it’s hard to hold on when it feels like it’s not going to ever.
