    Yeah, great, but without doing anything (aka "breathing" or "sitting with it") my brain and anxiety just won't and don't stop. At all. They keep going for hours and days or even weeks, and in the process lead me to have a very difficult time with my partner, and eventually end up into an emotional burn-out. "discomfort" is not even close to what I can experience sometimes. giving me that advice without actually giving tools to get able to build a reconnexion with reality/take distance/separate yourself from your anxiety/getting actually though with it equals for me just pushing me in the water and telling me to swim, without teaching me beforehand.
    I would really love some more concrete stuffs.

      I've personally been searching on google "how to overcome ocd compulsions" in a general sense, because at the end of the day, ROCD is a specific type of OCD. I've been using mindfullness and CBT and it's worked great. I'm going to look up "free cbt exercises" too

    Thank you very much for having this channel. I've learned much more from you about OCD than I have anybody else. Is there such a thing as having a compulsion without necessarily being conscious of the obsession behind it? I tend to eat a lot.. not in big amounts just often.. My mood doesn't matter.. Things have to be EXTREME for me to not want to eat and most of my life I've struggled with mood disorders and I'll eat depressed or anxious.. usually more so but I rarely DON'T want to eat.. at all.., things have to be EXTREME lol

      When I get those compulsions I try to remind of what they are, just thoughts. And with some time, they feel more distant from me.

    I remember when I first had ROCD I did living acts even though my mind said no you know you’re not in love with you’re partner. I fought against them. Now it’s harder... I feel like I am losing like I am accepting that I’m not in love with him anymore.... 😢 I still do loving acts but I feel like a lier... I am worried that my attachment is another reason why I’m with him.... 😞😞 I think about all the doubts in the past and now I wonder if I truly loved him at all... 😭😭😭 I’m so scared... I just this feeling off just wanting to end it but I know there’s a part of me fighting against it bc I know I love him deeply... I just don’t understand why my brain is working against me... I’m scared to move out with him... I’m scared of change and the unknown... I already live with him and my brain says nope you don’t love him enough... 😭😭😭😭😭

    Hey Kiyomi, I have gotten better at noticing my compulsions and stopping them in the past 2 years of us dating. ( We just had our anniversary yesterday ) it was lovely even though my anxiety was present. I notice I get anxious a lot when I kiss him or hug him, the minute I feel happy I begin to get triggered so I'll kiss him not compulsively but to challenge my anxiety and to do what makes me happy even though my thoughts are there. However it does bother me a lot that no matter what I do it still happens constantly. Is it because I've spent so long having ROCD and my partner is triggering? It's really frustrating me at this point.

    I’m suffering with ROCD (at least I think so) but I’ve also been getting frequent dreams of where I would cheat on my partner, but not feel guilty in the dream. But when I wake up however i feel guilty and it triggers my ROCD. Are these dreams got to do with ROCD? Because it’s starting to worry me a lot?
    Thanks.

    • @christinas.3461
      @christinas.3461 5 років тому +1

      Yes I have this ALL the time. For me I will feel trapped and feel like I need to experience a sexual encounter with someone else in the dream. However, when my ROCD is not triggered (the triggers can last weeks for me or months) I will not have these dreams as much if at all. When I’m feeling extremely content and free of the triggers, I usually have dreams of my partner and I in a very spiritually loving and healthy way.
      From experience, it sounds to me like your compulsions are seeping into the dream realm: I would need to know more details about you though and your relationship. If you’re on this video though, there’s probably a good chance you’re suffering from OCD and the dreams are an extension of that.

    • @Awakenintolove

      Depends on your intention before thinking or looking at photos of them. Are you experiencing inner discomfort (fear, anxiety, sadness) and thinking of them/looking at a photo to try to find an answer or "in love" feeling? Be curious.

    • @SkiizmBeatz
      @SkiizmBeatz 5 років тому

      If your thinking about them constantly, obviously you do care and love them but your negativity is using a defense mechanism making u feel unhappy or unsatisfied, and yes looking at photos is a compulsion if ur repeating it constantly to check and check your feelings or attraction levels.... and u do it for the rest of the day and it affects ur day to day life that is a obsession and compulsion and anxiety messing with you because I do that..
