Ahh yes the relationship OCD, made me nearly leave a perfectly healthy and amazing relationship. It does get better, we’re getting married next month 😁
Ik there’s only 4 comments but I love this one so much 😭 I keep having doubts but I really shouldn’t and my brains just being a meanie we’re literally talking about moving in together 😭
@@paigejonker4460 ok so I have had OCD in various forms since a teenager. Relationship OCD has been really painful for me, I still struggle with it. I have learned to talk openly with my partner about these feelings so I don’t feel like I’m hiding things from him. I’ve also accepted that I’m a person who will have doubts quite a bit but doesn’t mean I don’t love him. It does get better once you accept it a bit more. It’s ok to doubt!!
crazy. i didn't even know what limerence was until this video popped up, i've been struggling for a while and now i know why... the highs and lows are insane
Hi can you please make a video on confessing every thought ocd. Currently I am experiencing this in my relationship, I feel like I am a bad person I have done a lot of mistakes and I feel that I should tell my partner every thought, confess. If I don’t do so, I am not being honest in the relationship
Thank you, thank you, thank you for this video. I've been suffering from both limerence and ROCD for my entire life and I never knew how to deal with it. I thought I was alone, or broken, and I couldn't understand why everyone else seemed to be capable of having healthy relationships when no matter what I did, I ended up self-sabotaging. I didn't even realize the behaviors I was doing (which you name perfectly in this video) were compulsions. I'm sitting here almost in shock. Thank you so much.

Yes, My "ROCD" liked to combine with multiple other themes . Some days it's so easy not to do compulsions, others are way harder! I am finally climbing out of my rock bottom with my ROCD, after it almost ruined my marriage to the love of my life. It does eventually get better ❤
I cannot believe how could you get over a broken relationship?😮 Courageous indeed

My relationship is not broken 🤍, but was very close to the breaking point. I'm glad I went through the treatment process and was able to climb out of it. It wasn't easy, and takes a lot of work.
I let it ruin a relationship and caused so much emotional pain to both me and her. At first, I didn't know what rocd was. But I'd get these feelings after we'd hangout, "if I really love her, do I really wanna be with her?..etc" It would cause me to then have to cut ties. But I would try again thinking I won't let the ocd get me but I still never knew how to work through rocd. But I'm now with a good erp therapist who I know will help me when I cross that bridge again.
Thank you so much for this video - until recently all of my relationships were polluted 24/7 by intense rocd until I broke them off- the one exception was a case of intense limerence lasting years (which, when this finally turned into a relationship, I broke off largely due to visceral rocd doubts/anxiety!). When I learned about rocd it was like reading about my own life…I didn’t know this wasn’t normal. This is the first video I’ve seen which addresses the both limerence and rocd which is great, as both seem to be maladaptive thinking patterns from what I understand? I’ve often wondered if there is a link - for whatever reason a difficulty in having a balanced approach to relationships. Your videos seriously helped me when I first came across ocd a few years ago- thank you so much for the work you do.
Please post a video of constantly thinking about forgotten things. I trying the ERP for the past three months but I just can't get over thinking about whatever I forget. Please help
I am 20 and I had 1 relationships in my life pre ocd and depression. I was 16 at the time and isolate myself and don’t shower, eat a lot of Ben and Jerry’s
@rafaelah3521 yes it used to always happen to me! I'd start doubting and get the horrible ROCD rhen id see someone else and become limerant assuming that they were perfect for me
Idk but I feel like my harm OCD got coupled with relation OCD. Kinda hurts although I feel like it's just Harm OCD plus doubts (since OCD is ,, doubting disease "
@@breemarie9393 idk but kinda scary. Makes you feel like you want to hurt someone and doubt if you truly like/love them. Plus that feeling that you might find it funny (even if it is not and in every case it makes me shake and want to w0mmit). Hurts but it gets better (I think)
Is everything OCD now? I can barely leave my bedroom. I have to ask my OCD permission through over 200 mental rituals on what I could eat or when I can use the restroom. I’m triggered by almost every common English word and music. I even left America to run from my triggers. If this is ocd im curious if im even ocd, maybe its something else. I cant relate to relationship ‘ocd.’
My ocd was horrible last year and I’ve had bad times this year but it gets better people, I promise 🤎 I’ve been reading OCD RELATED books and doing exposure by myself because I can’t afford paying fro the treatment and that has helped me a lot, I’m gonna get married next year and I’m exited ❤
Im so happy for you ❤ I broke up with my ex twice, suffered incredibly after breaking up with him, apologised and he came back. Now the spiralling began again…I hope I’ll be stronger this time and maybe also have a happy ending like you.
@@rafaelah3521 absolutely, when the spiral comes back again it’s let’s intense, just remember to practice ERP, and read some books about it, I recommend watching the videos of “awaken into love” you can find a loooooot of ROCD content here on UA-cam and on Spotify. Just curious what are you doing right now to calm down the obssesions?
Do you ever question your relationships?
This definitely happened to me 2 years ago then if morphed into other themes. Been dealing with it off and on for 2 years. It is getting better.

I too have Rocd and I’m getting married next year ❤
My OCD bleeds into everything I do. I’m always constantly doubting/ looking for reassurance lol. This videos helped me soo much , thanks Nathan !

I hate relationship ocd it is terrible you second guess every single thing about your relationship.
hang in there family guy clips. we believe in you.

It is sad to realise that this devil ocd and its intrusive thoughts have been the destroyer of my relationships, alas alas 😢
relationship ocd + bpd ⚰️

Thank you
You are one of the salvations for my ROCD thank you
Nathan you’re the best 🙏🏽Thank you for this
Manifesting that I will be getting married next year❤ And secure attachment styles I hope everyone has a great evening😊
Thank you sooooo much! I have been waiting for this video!!
Is watching these videos reassurance seeking?
I am 20 and I had 1 relationships in my life pre ocd and depression. I was 16 at the time and isolate myself and don’t shower, eat a lot of Ben and Jerry’s
Can you have both? ROCD makes you feel limerant for someone else since your doubting?
I was wondering the same thing!
@rafaelah3521 yes it used to always happen to me! I'd start doubting and get the horrible ROCD rhen id see someone else and become limerant assuming that they were perfect for me

@@racingraptor4758 what is it like with the 2 paired? My relationship ocd usually paired with limerance

I have ROCD and I've experienced limerence numerous times.
this is so helpful tysm

The more you avoid the triggering things get . Pleasing ocd is impossible and never a solution.
