    This is such a terribly difficult situation. The intrusive thoughts feel *so* real. It’s such a liar. And the urgency, uh, the urgency! At first, it can be so hard to differentiate whether it’s anxiety or intuition, but I learned that if it’s nagging all day, for hours, and you feel anxious about it, it’s OCD. Intuition is more of a calm, peaceful feeling coming in. OCD also changes themes which is also a blast. I refuse to let it fool me anymore or ruin my relationship. Been working on recovery. Beat my first theme and now this one is the next one to go. Be strong! You can do it. Just learning to accept uncertainty is all we need, but harder said than done.

      @fortheloveofteaching9514 2 ปีที่แล้ว +8

      ​@@pedrovargas3786 OCD can appear as different themes, and it can be tricky because it can switch themes on you if you're not buying the original theme anymore and you've moved past it. If you don't fully recover, one theme can turn into another depending on changing circumstances in life. Research OCD themes. For example, someone can have contamination OCD. Then, down the road, they get into a relationship, so if the OCD never fully resolved, it may turn into relationship OCD now that that is the most important thing in your life. There are many themes: relationship, harm, perfectionism, contamination, the list goes on etc. Basically anything can turn into OCD if you feed it enough.

    i always talk to her about it and ask for reassurance but sometimes it gets so bad im too afraid to tell her how i really feel, but i constantly can never stop thinking about if she’s losing feelings, cheating, interested in someone else, doing something behind my back, lying to me about anything or everything, etc etc and i create so many scenarios and i constantly check her socials nonstop, i just can’t control it and i wish i didn’t because i just wanna be able to fully trust her and believe none of that is happening it’s so hard to deal with. no matter how many times she reassures me and tells me how much she loves me i can’t stop thinking about the worst happening. what’s even worse is we’re long distance.

      Everything you posted is me to the "Tee". I am also in a long-distance relationship. I tried multiple times to just let her go and the relationship because of the anxiety it causes me but she wants to fight for the relationship and us. I do too but the anxiety of it all can be debilitating. Also, because I know some of her past behaviors while dating and this being her first real relationship contributes to my thoughts and anxiety. She's "solo" traveling right now and I've been all on her socials and I don't care for social media like that, just to see who she's adding as friends, following back, and pictures, etc.🤦🏾‍♀️ I feel too old to be going through feelings like this. She is younger than I am.

    I finally found a faithful, loyal man who has done nothing wrong to me, but because of past betrayals combined with abandonment issues from childhood, I'm continually worried about losing him....whether it be him losing interest in me, gaining interest in someone else, or just me being paranoid....
    I need help with this. I DON'T want to lose him, but I know eventually, even though he is so patient and compassionate, I'll end up pushing away the love of my life...I have to get a handle on it. It's so bad that I even have nightmares about it that make me jerk awake, usually already in tears and tremors. I usually end up waking him up too and tell him it's my boogeyman again (the fear of losing him) and he always holds me til I go back to sleep...

    This video very comforting. Here I am, having spent hours compulsing and now I’m sitting on my couch feeling disgusted with myself. It seems as though when I finally get a grip on my current theme, it just switches to another. It’s refreshing hearing you say that you can overcome OCD, many people say you can’t. I want to get a grip and move on with my life very badly

    • @MyOCDCoach
      @MyOCDCoach  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Don’t beat yourself up, that won’t help at all. You can’t just stop all compulsions without help usually. OCD will switch themes at times, or try to come back, which is why working with an ERP specialist is so crucial, so they can track you and direct you, as well as support. I have had amazing success with people, and been through it myself. See the link in the description for recovery options for different price points!

    So I recently found out that my girlfriend was sneaking around with three different people. All at different times over the course of 2 weeks. I have already dealt with serious trust issues regarding my family and people in the past and I explained this to her. Now she's changed her phone number but she still has the same behavior. She's always on the phone, she gets up in the middle of the night takes a phone with her when she thinks I'm sleep, whenever we talk during the day maybe for a few minutes and then she said she has to go somebody's calling her. We don't spend really any time together so we live together. Then just the other day she asked me to go hang out with one of her guy friends who's coming into town. I already have a stress related illness, and this is making me have anxiety. I feel like I'm getting beat up because my feelings and emotions are not being taken seriously. I'm trying my best to hang in there because her son calls me dad. I really don't know what to do cuz I'm getting mentally sick and I'm losing weight.

    I have developed a major issue with this my dad cheated on my mom and it ruined our family. And since every relationship I’m in I am always worried of being cheated on. While I can try and tell myself it’s irrational it doesn’t stop me from thinking about it. I’ve been in my first serious relationship and my partner hasn’t done anything disloyal but I find myself in thought loops of her cheating for days on end and it’s so tiring. I want to let go but my brain tells me that if I let go then I won’t be able to tell if she is cheating. I wanna give her my blind trust so bad my brain refuses to let go no matter what I do.

      Rationalizing with OCD doesn’t work, in fact, giving yourself Reassurance can be a Compulsion that makes OCD worse. Do you want to learn ERP to use in response to any thoughts or situation? Is that caused discomfort or anxiety. Check out my website if you need help www.myocdcoach.com.

      My girlfriend went a works night out and got extremely drunk, picked her up and while she was sleeping her phone pinged and it was one of the guys from work messaging her just about the night and asked if she was still drinking or away to bed. I flipped! I just assumed he liked her and now I constantly assume she’s been messaging him and will continue to, it’s extremely difficult because your brain is your own worse enemy, when In reality I can probably suggest there’s a 99% chance our girlfriends aren’t cheating or being disloyal

If you've decided to repair your relationship, and your partner is doing what it takes to rebuild the trust, you have to learn not to let OCD (fear) control you. OCD will often bring up old memories and obsess, and then compulsions follow. Treatment is necessary, so reach out to me if you want help!

      I think that is very normal when someone has broken your trust. ROCD can be there with real issues and it can find or exaggerate others. Recovery helps you learn the difference. Bottom line - you get to choose whether or not to give him a 2nd chance. He may cheat again he may not. Anyone in your position would have to learn to rebuild trust. ROCD will make that more challenging. It can be done.

I moved on quickly or so I thought, because now that I am in a new relationship with someone so caring, patient and loving, I always try to sabotage it by starting an argument, getting suspicious of everything and trying to control my partner every time he couldn't or when he fail to make me feel calm at that moment.

    I really felt I was alone in feeling this way. I'm in a relationship now with an amazing guy who is very patient with me and loves me unconditionally. We've been together for 2 years and he's supported me greatly. I STILL struggle with this and I didn't even realize it had a name. I've been diagnosed with major depressive disorder and they are teetering between bipolar or borderline personality disorder - either way, whatever the label, I'm desperate for help.

    • @MyOCDCoach

      I remember finding out about ROCD and feeling less alone too! ROCD often gets misdiagnosed, although you can have co-existing conditions. Depression is common when OCD goes untreated due to the ongoing symptoms and engagement in negative thoughts. Depression often gets better with OCD treatment.

      When you have OCD, intuition is drastically hyper focused on searching for danger and can be inaccurate. In this type of situation, if there’s no very clear evidence, you need to treat it as OCD, and use ERP to eliminate symptoms.

    • @k4ir0s
      @k4ir0s ปีที่แล้ว +5

      That's what's difficult: figuring out if your intuition is right or if it's insecurity. But it comes down to this: Why suffer in anticipation of things that may never happen? If your SO is cheating on you, you'll find out with time, and if/when you do, you'll deal with it then. If our partner cheats on us, then good --great, thanks for revealing your true self to me --now I'll walk away from this feeling like less was lost and replace you.
      I struggle with the same thought all the time. There's nothing we can do. If someone wants to cheat, they will cheat. No amount of snooping or worrying will prevent it. In fact, accusing them all the time will only push them away and may cause what you fear happening.
      Just deal with it if/when it comes. You've dealt with it before and overcame it. Enjoy the present moment and assume the best of your partner. It's all that you can do.

      Hi! There's a difference between someone having obsessions & compulsions around a thought or feeling, versus something that has actually happened in real life with substantial proof. In your case, it would be more normal to ruminate and worry that it is/will happen. How you respond (leave or stay) is a personal decision based on several factors. You can, however learn to manage unhealthy obsessions and compulsions should you choose to stay and your partner is taking 100% accountability and making noticeable changes.
