What Does ROCD/RA REALLY Feel Like?

What does having ROCD/RA REALLY feel like and what does a person without ROCD/RA do?
In this video, I talk about the difference between both. This isn't meant to bring about negative comparison but to help you empower yourself to recognize that these feelings, thoughts, and sensations are NORMAL. It is not the thoughts that matter, but how we REACT to them that makes the biggest difference.

Hands-down, one of the best videos that you’ve made! The story about the coworker really landed for me. I love throughout the video, you pointed out the difference between someone with ROCD and someone without, and how they both experienced the same things, but react differently.

[@krystalkriete7761]

This is the only thing I can find on the internet that actually dives into ROCD. I struggle with just focusing on my relationship even with nothing is wrong then I question everything and hate the feeling and intrusiveness I get 😢

[@alemaolonghi]

Yeah, I agree with you... I'm in a bad place now, where I have a fantastic partner and I think it's better to end the relationship with no cause :/ even though rationally, I'm certain that ending the relationship will be much worse.

YES!! Please!

A topic I would like to hear discussed is ROCD as a result of a controlling and abusive and violent relationship which used jealousy and accusations and shaming to remain in control of their own insecurity to “keep” you

[@kanemccreadie1689]

I get annoyed with rocd so much cause there are days where I wanna give up but then I remember that I do want my gf and that I'll trudge through getting better no matter how hard it is. Still hate the feeling of maybe it was the truth all along but I'll figure that out. Appreciate all you do.

[@Rushdia-di5by]

How is it now?

[@Existancexo]

The first time I’ve seen another male struggle with this, I feel like there is something so wrong with me, I have the best partner I could have ever asked for, loves me even with all my problems and all the mistakes I’ve made but for some reason I think she isn’t the one, and I’m not in love with her because I keep getting flashbacks and memories that intrude at the worst possible times that have to do with situations from my past and past partners.. I’ve only really noticed my thoughts since I went to therapy after a mistake I made early on in our relationship that was so small and has been forgiven that I can’t let go of, going to therapy I got diagnosed with a heap of issues regarding my upbringing (Cptsd, OCD, adhd anxiety and depression I was so unaware of all of it and thought i was somewhat normal, now it has all come up and I don’t know what’s true and I don’t know if the thoughts I have and feelings mean something and I’m constantly looking for answers and I think it will all go away if I leave the only person who understands me and my mental state, also looking for reasons to get out and have these unrealistic rules in my head that means it can’t work, along with googling things that tell me it’s not right when I know she is the best chance I have for ever having love and making a family to right the wrongs from my childhood. I’m 27 now and I feel like my eyes are open but no idea what the truth is and it feels very lonely

[@kanemccreadie1689]

Ups and downs, haven't given up

[@marie12364]

Me and my bf started dating in 2022 (he’s my first real bf😂), then this year we spent a month separated (because I freaked out about the possible future problems in our relationship and my head told me that the only way was to brake up), I suffered so much missing him, and missing us! Then we came back and a month later this terrible thoughts started coming… I felt/feel so guilty because he’s literally the greatest person I’ve ever met, I KONOW I love him and e feel so peaceful and honest around him and his family… but this obsessions are killing me! Thank you for this videos

[@bosniantheolog3451]

I feel like I love her but sometimes I doubt it and fear thoughts of separating and breaking up

[@Golf1243]

More videos on Relationship Anxiety. I feel like I very well overcame the thoughts and feelings of if I love my partner or not. Now I really just have anxiety about if they love me or if they want to leave me or don’t have feelings anymore. I feel like I read into everything they do and I’m not doing great

[@kamya6317]

how did you overcome the feelings of you love them or not? currently suffering from it for a month I'd really love some insight :(

[@Jessica-he3ft]

How do you explain an anxiety disorder or anxiety from a disorder like ASD (I have both) to a partner that doesn't have those things? Many people assume anxiety has to have a reason and cannot understand that anxiety from a mental disorder is different. They can take your anxiety way too personally and look for a 'logical' reason for it. It can be really hard to explain to someone "No, you didn't DO anything... My amygdala isn't functioning properly."

[@karol5502]

This happened to me, sometime my heart ex’s name comes to my mind, and I feel soooo guilty and bad, and start thinking and making questions

[@miagomes3001]

I’ve been with this for 1 year and I have good days but omg when is bad is really bad

[@cinthyaelenat3426]

I’m in the same situation, 1 year, I felt good from January-march this year tho, but I feel like it’s slowly coming back and is a horrible feeling, I just hope it gets better

[@rachaelphillips9486]

Sometimes I have feelings of anxiety around my partner. Then I think that because I am not feeling completely relaxed around him that I don't want to be with him. Then I feel bad for my feelings and get serious anxiety. I was in a relationship for 4 years where I had severe anxiety with him and then left him. This makes me scared that this is happening again.

[@Golf1243]

Does it make sense to be scared of it my partner doesn’t it won’t give me enough attention and if that’s a reason to leave?

[@evanmcinturf6848]

I have suffered from every example you said

[@valentinrosa2645]

I people, I'm a french friend! I've start several exercices to accept this ROCD.. but right now, I've a horrible feeling.. this feeling that's not natural anymore with my partner , that there is only anxiety... I prey all the day that I will bé connected to her and natural with her again, too laught again, toi be myself... That's hard, I feel like I'm empty sometimes.. so depressed... Feel so down rightnow and I'm feeling like it will Never comeback... I wish you Hope and Love

[@user-du1bc3sz8v]

Hey I’m new here I’ve been having normal ocd for a while a long time (about 10 years) now out of the blue couple days ago I thought “I don’t love my partner” “Have I ever loved him” “is it all a lie” “Am I just comfortable” “I need to leave him” But I feel so numb towards it like I can’t remember any previous feeling towards him I feel nothing towards him all of a sudden or leaving him what’s wrong with me? Is this ROCD

[@CoffeeYum13]

I just want to say that I have been struggling with this EXACT same thing you’re describing, almost word for word. I’m no expert, but I do believe that this is a form of ROCD. After about 3 months now of struggling with it, it is finally starting to ease up a little bit for me. The videos on this channel have really been helping me. I hope you’re getting the help you need and that things are alright, it’s really tough.

Not me watching this to compulsively check of i have ROCD and being humbled im the 1st 3 minutes 😀 Thank you for the work you do. 💚

[@cyndihauptman5857]

I have been suffering with this for over 4 years now with my current fiance😢 I have been divorced twice and am in a new relationship with a loving, caring, supportive wonderful man. My first marriage ended from my ex having an affair. My 2nd marriage of 21 years was with a narcissistic, abusive , hateful man that also had an affair. So here i am with an amazing man that i reconnected with from junior high school. The first 2 years were the best I've ever felt in my life, total honeymoon hormones and feelings. Then we moved in together and everything changed.... my mind wouldn't stop obsessing about hours this wasn't right, i picked apart everything he did, frustrated, felt angry, felt disgust at times over his habits, how he would talk, all the things. I couldn't get it to stop and it has continued for FOUR years!! I have cried, beat myself up, felt sick, felt so much sadness. Even with all these emotions, i still said yes when he proposed. My therapist told me to leave him and he just didn't sound like he was the one for me. I felt like i wanted to die honestly. This man couldn't be better than he is. I love him and i want it to work so bad. I had never heard about ROCD until the other day, and i feel so understood now, it's like a weight of clarity has come over me. I have been obsessively watching your videos and trying to learn. I pray this is the answer to my prayers. I don't want to leave this man. I have literally thought about suicide to end these feelings of despair. I have struggled with depression, anxiety, ocd, CPTSD my whole life from an abusive step father and childhood trauma. The thing i silly understand is WHY do we have ROCD? What causes it? Thank you for your amazing videos and caring heart❤

[@sunn129]

Please let me know how you plan to overcome it.. what you have told is soo relateable...even though we want to stop it and in our heart we know he is the best man one could wish for but those insecurities and distress just comes up ..and I cannot help it and stop it ..

[@cyndihauptman5857]

@sunn129 It's terrible! Sounds like you know how awful it is😩 This concept of ROCD, I have never heard before and I'm 54!!! I've been a mess my whole life🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️. I seriously have felt like I'm never going to be at peace or feel joy. Hugs to you

[@sunn129]

@@cyndihauptman5857 I even went to the extent of diagnosing myself as having borderline personality disorder..and went to a psychiatrist ( I am a doctor myself too)..but she literally laughed at me that this is not how BPD looks like

[@cyndihauptman5857]

@sunn129 I can relate to this as well! I have been on this constant search for the answers. Believing maybe I had BPD too or is it Autism, or ADHD?! Self diagnosing everything under the sun and feeling like I'm crazy nuts. I'm exhausted! I still don't really understand what causes this ROCD/Anxiety, but I know it is EXACTLY what I've been going through the last 4 years. To be honest, I think it's been my whole life with every partner I've had. Granted my last ex husband of 21 years caused so much pain, physically, mentally and emotionally that it was justified I felt no love for him. I'm just so relieved to not be alone in this.
