As a really bad victim of rocd, I can confirm that it all passes. I thought I would never feel attraction to my bf ever again after getting this. But, I found that being happy with you relationship and not focusing on the thoughts help a lot. Live in the moment. Keep the thoughts to yourself and sit with them. I recently hangout with my boyfriend and we were cuddling in the couch. Wow! I never felt so much attraction! It's because I ignored my compulsions and moved on. Things have been pretty fantastic here on out. Again it doesn't last forever! Accept the thoughts as thoughts, and learn to respond to them in a good way! That's how I'm recovering from ROCD!

It makes me feel like I don’t even want to make the choice. It feels so different from the beginning

@cozycat Ik, I know exactly how you feel, im in that exact same place. In the begging, I was desperately clamoring on to the relationship, now I'm numb and feel like I've found my truth, but please keep fighting friend. Don't lose what you love to this horrible horrible disease. ❤

My NOCD therapist said something helpful to me today regarding “feelings” - Feelings are subjective and when we make decisions based on them, we risk making emotional, rash decisions. She told me to make a pros and cons list. She also said to think more with “wise-mind” (that worksheet is really helpful, Idk if it’s an ocd standard one, but if you don’t know what I’m talking about, Google: wise mind worksheet)

When I share about false memory ocd and people tell me " you know the answer deep down," " you can find the answer within yourself" i feel horrible because i don't know the answer if something happened or not because I'm in conflict if it happened or not due to memories popping up and my innerself saying it happened but then I argue against it and I don't know if I'm arguing against it because I don't want to accept the truth

Is ocd supposed to feel like a genuine belief ? I see or hear some people saying things like « I know it’s not true but …. » while I personally don’t « know that it’s not true » I feels genuinely real and I even find evidence for it

I’ve tried living in the uncertainty today & kept myself busy but I can’t shake this feeling that I’m about to lose control & act on my thoughts. I keep feeling like I need to check in to see how I feel & keep my self safe & when I’m near my trigger it feels like I’m being pulled into doing it & feels like I want to but I’m not using compulsions. My thoughts feel like my own & feeling like I’ll be like this forever. Can someone relate or give advice 😩
