ROCD Need help!

Postby PanicAllTheTime » Mon Jul 28, 2014 7:50 pm

Hi, been a long time since my last post on here!

I'm going through a phase of ROCD, just like I did last year

Last year I suffered from HOCD and ROCD but the HOCD has long past. After a great year with my girlfriend, having ups and downs obviously, my ROCD has returned.
It started because I thought I found someone else attractive (I understand i'm going to find other people attractive but it worried me)
Ever since I have been filled with doubt about whether or not I love my girlfriend, although I have loved her for many years and before this anxiety/rocd whatever you want to call it happened, we planned holidays and living together.

Now i'm seriously starting to think that it's not the rocd (sorry to keep using rocd, i know that's it's more about the ocd rather than the r)
My anxiety comes and goes and I feel really sad about it. If I no longer have anxiety does that mean that it's true. Could you really fall out of completely being in love within a week?

I've felt down about the things I usually enjoy as well.
I don't want to hurt my girlfriend at all, I have loved her for years and I'm sure I do (although my thoughts are trying to convince me otherwise)

Any insight into why I feel this way would be amazing, and read my last post from last year for further backstory!
I was 100% happy before I had these thoughts!

No you can't. Listen carefully, this is OCD. Do NOT allow it to ruin your life.

Listen.
OCD can create intrusive thoughts and emotions
OCD can create false sexual arousal
OCD can suppress your feelings for others
OCD can even make you feel like you're pissing yourself all the time


OCD is fear. To conquer it, you must decide that you aren't going to entertain it anymore, even though it appears (and only appears, it's a lie) to have real dangers. OCD will try to trick you back into the game with severe, deep guilt trips, bursts of panic and fear, or false 'signs', but it's all bullsh!t. Remember that.

PM me if you wish, I am always happy to reply, but it takes many hours sometimes.
