ROCD

I’m starting to be convinced it’s not ROCD and I don’t know what to do anymore 😔 I’m very irritable around my partner now and extremely overly critical of his social behaviours and the way he talks and acts and just everything. And I keep seeing other people talking about their symptoms and their intrusive thoughts and how they know they don’t believe those things, and I feel like those things are real flaws that genuinely bug me and it feels real and I’m worried it’s not OCD anymore and I’m scared. I feel like I’m losing touch with reality because of how much I spend in my head worrying and trying to figure out if what I’m thinking is bad.

I feel you, I’ve done the same thing and I still do but they don’t cause me as much anxiety anymore (which can also scare you too) it’s like there are things about the person and they bother you and your thinking about it in your head and then it causes you anxiety for thinking about it and makes you question how you feel about them because of it? I really hope it gets better for you but you’re definitely not alone

i just want you to know i see you as i too am going through something similar. i think my intrusive thoughts play a part as they say things like “he should know you better than this” “he’s doing these things on purpose” “if he loved you he wouldn’t do these things” and while sometimes i know that’s not true, sometimes i let it get the better of me and my patience runs thin.

@Anonymous Yeah, it gets really tough. And when it’s partner focused it’s even worse. And I’m always just critical of his awkwardness and goofy behaviours and it’s really tough to deal with it because I don’t want to be so shallow and I don’t want to let those things bug me. But they do.

Mmmm! I feel your pain. Maybe they really are flaws you dislike, maybe it's just your OCD. I don't know either way, but hang in there. Hold onto your truths and don't let reality slip away. Try to focus on the present moment and remember, your thoughts can only hurt you if you let them.

@Emermemer But the problem is some of them are things I dislike, maybe I’m blowing it out of proportion, but I don’t know what I should do if those things do bug me, because I don’t want it to end over that. But I feel so confused

@Anonymous_confessions So maybe just let yourself be confused for now. And sit with it. Sit with the confusion and discomfort.

ROCD imposter syndrome

Lately I have been feeling like I may not have OCD, maybe I’m just crazy and manipulative. I have been diagnosed with OCD for years now and tend to struggled a lot with relationships. My therapist has told me that my behaviors in relationships are caused by ROCD but sometimes I just feel like I’m a bad person. I am finally with a very nice person after an abusive relationship and I thought some of those symptoms may go away because this person is different but they’ve only gotten worse. I am so easily triggered and convince myself that my partner doesn’t like me and can’t handle me. I end up trying to break up almost weekly. Things will be good and then one small trigger blows everything up and i feel like I’m dying and can’t control myself. I don’t know if i’ll ever be able to be in a relationship

I’m worried I have rocd?

I’m not sure if I have it or not, or if I don’t and I’m just a bad person? I’m even embarrassed to go into details but can anyone explain what it’s like, as sometimes my thought get so bad and intrusive that I worry I’m trying to hide behind rocd as an excuse and I am just a bad girlfriend?? Can anyone relate🥲I live my partner absolutely but sometimes I worry they’re not that into it and I overthink about what it would be like to be with other people, my ocd can be so bad I’m wondering and maybe wishful thinking? That these thoughts/ obsessions could just be the ocd? Please can someone explain their experiences with it🙏🏻

ROCD

I’m really struggling with my ocd right now. I feel like I’m unhappy in my relationship and all I do is get frustrated. I’m questioning everything about my relationship and I’m worried I’m going to ruin everything.
