      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.

      @@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!!

    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.

  •  24 дні тому +7

    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 ❤

      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.

    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.’
