Thank you❤

Muito obrigado, do fundo do meu coração, por ter contado isso. Abraços do Brasil!

So good!!! Thank you so much for sharing ❤

Sounds like there might be a link between rocd and PMDD? Could Be wrong

My ROCD started a week prior to meeting my online boyfriend for the first time and literally every sensation you described with the emptiness, the urge to break up everyday was spiraling so badly. Our entire Vacation became a traumatic memory for me to remember because through out all of it, I couldn’t feel a thing and that made me panick, feel like my standard are too high, doubt if I’m rly a committed person, and just made wanna cry it all out but I went through all of it without even having him notice. 7 months later now he’s visiting again this upcoming week and I couldn’t be more anxious but I am comfortable with accepting that maybe or maybe not it might not be perfect but rather I see it as an opportunity to do major ERP. I’m still having the thoughts, the worry, the occasional feelings of emptiness, but now I have more hope every since I found myself to be correlated with this disorder. This video continues to remind me that I’m alone and I always go back to it to remind myself Thank you so much for sharing your story!💗

Hello!Have anyone experienced, also, intense feelings of guilt about what your mind thinks that u did wrong to your partner in the past, or that u didnt like that person that much at the time you two got into that relationship, or u didnt have strong enough feelings about that person at that time?Please...I m severely struggling and don t know what to do with these thoughts....

Thank you for making this video. It was so vulnerable

TY so much for being vulnerable and sharing your story. I can relate to a lot of it. I actually left my marriage for ROCD (not even knowing I had it). It can be brutal.

Thank you for this video. It’s so hard but I have faith. And one thing that helps me is “if it makes you uncomfortable it’s probably an ocd thought”.

Can ROCD hits after first initial months of being in relationship, or it has to be years of togetherness. Please answer please. I have been with my gf for about 4 months we spent a lot of time together, these intrusive thoughts have started to flood in.

I have felt so relieved since i found out about ROCD tonight. The possibility that nothing is actually wrong in my relationships is such a relief. That my thoughts might all not be true. Every thought you mention I have had. I have ruined relationships many times with this.

The true secret to this is,that the thoughts are translation from a deeper process, the thoughts come after it then u get the emotion, we then think that the thought caused it. In reality it's a protective mechanism which identifies danger.

You don’t know how much this has helped me, thank u

Thank you

I used to also wonder if I would recognize my OCD from my real gut feeling if something was actually wrong. And then I remembered the time when I was collaborating with actually manipulative person and my body was telling me that this person is not a good person. And yes, the feeling for me was completely different. For me, OCD is mainly in my head but the actual gut feeling is in my stomach and gut. Everyone can experience it differently, but for me personally there's a difference. So I hope that if something was actually wrong, I would be able to recognize it. :)

please don't take offense at this, but I notice your posture is hunched inwards. I'd imagine you can't breathe very deeply sitting that way. what I've learned recently as someone with anxiety and ROCD, is that my compulsive thoughts tend to be strongly associated with my physical well being. so when I've had a bad sleep, I'll have them more often. proper breathing can make a huge impact in your wellbeing as well. I would really recommend watching or reading on the importance of breathing, especially on anxiety. there's a really strong correlation since shallow breathing is more effortful and can even increase your heart rate since it requires more energy than deep breathing does. please have a look!

Thank you so much for this 😭 I had moments when I felt less attracted to my bf and that's when my rocd started and even after the attraction part was resolved I suffered alot Cried day and night Questioned him so much I don't know what to do

What are your thoughts about the Awaken into Love course? Have you taken it? Do you know anyone who has taken it?

Tfs I'm here 2023. August 6th, Sunday I appreciate finding You And This channel ❤ Your validating And honesty And sharing has helped me And I'm Sure Many others XOXO 😘

Thank you so much for sharing. I think I may be suffering from ROCD as well. This is a relatively new thing for me. (Last 10 months.) Mine started when my boyfriend cheated on me. My whole confidence and trust was destroyed. I already have OCD and now my thoughts are constant and painful. I feel like my emotions are on the surface at all times and I'm at the point of tears every moment. A lot of what you described is how I am feeling and thinking. Thank you again for sharing.

Thank you so much for this I am going through this now. Thank you thank you. I feel less alone 🧡

Omg thank you so much. I have been struggling with ROCD for the last year. My bf and I have been together for a couple of years and honestly I have watched so many videos about ROCD but this one was the winner for me. I related to every single word you said. I was so depressed because I knew how much I love him yet my brain was saying otherwise and I was just so confused and scared. To whoever is reading this comment OCD hangs onto the things you love the most. It gets so much better just don’t give up. You are not alone and you are so so strong. And if you are here then best believe that you do love your partner and your relationship. ❤️

is having the thought and fear of your partner being a pedo part of ROCD too?

The only thing I don't like with all these OCD subtypes is calling it OCD. I mean, It's a bit too much to just give a diagnosis to someone and keep it at that. You need to search within you and you need to find what's missing. Giving a label is not it. Or I'm wrong? I don't know. Where I'm from, relationship anxiety is not considered OCD. For example, I've noticed that this is usually the result of low self esteem and not being an authentic person resulting to having lots of doubts. I mean, of course you can't stop thinking about something that clearly bothers you and causes you unease. And It's possible to live without "symptoms", you just need to work on parts of your life.

It makes me cry.. its so me!

thank you so much for sharing !

I have had ROCD for 8 months now and just got engaged! You’ve hit all of the feelings right on, but there is HOPE. The less attention we give the ocd bully the more strength we have. Thanks for being vulnerable ❤️!

Just found this. In the thick of it right now. I've also been with my partner since just after we graduated high school, and your story has lots of parallels with mine. Thank you for this.

"or I'll always feel anxious" EXACTY that. the scariest feeling

Thank you for being so candid about this stuff--hearing your experiences is so helpful!

i am in a relationship with my partner for 6 months now and I felt this feeling that I don’t love her anymore but it went away the same day and it happened twice of the course of six month . Until two weeks ago I felt disconnected and this sad feeling of anxiety I felt and was thinking I don’t love her anymore and made me so upset and got so anxious and fear of I have to break up because I don’t love her anymore. Like trying see her less or when she tries to hug me I would would feel this empty sad feeling or run away. Although sometimes for just 2 sec like u mentioned in your video I will get this excitement feeling that I do love her but than it would go away straight away. We plannend to move together and are engaged. But even to think moving together sometimes I feel like I want to run away. But I don’t want to break up 😢 and am on oxazepam which helps me and sometimes give me that relax feeling looking at her and feeling nothing but know that it’s okay. Pleassse help as I need answer because I had this in all my relationships good or bad that after while the same feelings,anxiety,anxious come and sadly I broke up but because I see a pattern now and want to fight. So please any advice would be appreciated

OCD started for me at age 10. Its still with me.

The amount of times this video had made me want to cry due to feeling seen🥹 thank you

I think doubts about relationships, and intrusive thoughts more generally, are common, but in people with anxiety issues, it’s all AMPLIFIED. So the person without high anxiety has the concern, it briefly registers with them, and then passes through their mind. But for the person with high anxiety, it hits like a freight train, and doesn’t let up, so they feel the need to act on it in order to alleviate the anxiety.

i suspect this has been tormenting the last few months, did you look at your bf when he was being wholesome and just cry? I feel like a terrible person because hes so good to me

I feel so understood. Thank you. This has been just eating me up.

Thanks for sharing.

I’m plagued by this. I’ve ended two otherwise healthy long term relationships over this, and I’m almost 40.. I do not have the strength to fight it, been in therapy years but it ain’t getting any better.

Thank you - I unfortunately have the same condition and its extremely exhausting. I love my partner but I have severe road and my god just people who also have it understand me. I feel so alone with it.

Zoloft was prescribed more frequently than any other antidepressant in the USA in 2018 with over 38 million prescriptions.

I get so much thoughts and when I am like maybe I don't love him my brain goes like Oh then why don't you break up if you don't? Then I don't know what to do. Do you have any tips?

What would you recommend if I wanted kind of a bright pink ?

“Body in hot wax” yep, that’s what that feeling is, I could never find the words for it 😅

Hope you post more often!🥰 glad to see you’re back

you gave me hope, thanks

Yesterday I had a strange dream, I woke up being in fear in instant and immediately asked questions to myself "do i love him?" And this is horrible, because how is it even possible that I could not love person about which I was thinking so warm and I was so happy before I fall asleep just last night. I told my boyfriend about it, we are in long distance relationship so it makes things even harder, but he will always help me when I need it. Maybe its a little better than it was yesterday, but these things are in my head all the time, if i really love him, I start to cry, I feel like I can't eat, I can't really think about something else now. I did not know that even small trigger can start something like this, when I was totally happy and fine the day before... I had obsessive thoughts in the past also, but not about my love, so this is just next level of what I had... Thank you so much for this video, when I hear your story I know I am not alone in this, also when I read comments I see people are struggling with many faces of this problem.

And from the very next day i woke up with anxiety again. From that day i was spending time with him so much I'm feeling okayy I suffered with every symptoms of rocd numbness, anxiety, panic attacks etc but now I'm not getting any symptoms I feel kinda i'm okayyI'm feeling everything but not love for him I don't feel like complusion but i 'm forcing myself to be complusiveThis are not thoughts this is reallWe've been together for just 5 months just for 5 monthsI don't even relate to anyoneI'm falling out of love i don't even feel anger jealousy towards him please somebody help
