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.
Sorry you’re going through this❤️. Often when intrusive thoughts are accompanied by strong emotions we feel even more compelled to figure it all out and be sure all is well. In other words, we allow our emotions to dictate our behavior. Shala Nicely notes this is often a subtle compulsion we don’t realize we’re doing. She suggests rather than focusing on the fear, sadness or whatever feeling/emotion, find that one thing about the situation that brings joy-The way the sun is coming in the window, the sound of your loved one’s voice, shift your focus to any small joyful thing. Stop examining your feelings and shift focus to the present moment. Hope this helps.
I feel exactly the same way. I’m on a holiday with my SO and instead of cherishing every moment I have all sorts of doubts, intrusive thoughts and concerns. It’s kind of killing the mood and I’m scared it will damage the relationship
@bb88 Yea, I keep trying to be in the moment but I’ll be hugging him and questioning my love for him. I did a compulsion and i went on the internet, which made it worse!! It said that if you’re just experiencing ocd you have doubts but if you’re in the wrong relationship you feel unhappy. And I’ve been unhappy for a bit now since the ocd started which at this point I don’t even know if it’s ocd.
I've been dealing with an Relationship OCD relapse for a few weeks now and im currently distressed, overanalyzing my feelings towards my boyfriend, I feel the urge to break up with him at random times daily, for context I'm in a healthy happy relationship but this is causing me so much distress and anxiety. I fear I might loose control and break up with him.
I’ve recently been having a lot of distress about my relationship and things surrounding it due to OCD. I was wondering if you have OCD, how does it present itself in your relationship(s) (thoughts, feelings, urges, images, etc)?
Struggling with ROCD lately and it’s really getting to me. I know I love my partner deeply, but these intrusive thoughts just won’t let up. It’s like this constant battle between my heart and my mind, and it’s exhausting. Does anyone else experience this? Feeling like you need to do something to ease the uneasiness, even though you know deep down you’re with the right person? It’s like walking on a tightrope of happiness and doubt.
