@lifewithlex444: thought I was “picky” in dating…turns out I was compulsively analyzing every emotion, every doubt, every ick, & every interaction trying to find certainty. oh how I love OCD🤗 #ruminationocd #symptomsofocd #ocdawareness #neverhadaboyfriend #datingstruggles
so how do i know if it’s rumination or just me being a chronic over thinker and always jumping to conclusions. because i feel so normal until i get into some form of relationship and then i go insane

context: im diagnosed OCD but i’m 8 months into my relationship with my boyfriend and let me say it gets better. for a while i was OBSESSED with him and i mean every single waking moment was me going in my head and through my thoughts about all of our interactions and all of his words and his micro expressions and wow i mean it was terrible. all of my time and energy was spent on how to make our relationship “better” when in reality it’s the most healthy relationship ever. recently i’ve learned to adapt to the saying “if it’s meant to be, then it will be” which has helped. it allows me stop fixating on what’s going to happen to our relationship if i don’t XYZ, but to just live in the moment and enjoy our time. it’s only been about a week of me feeling this way, but hey that’s better than it’s been the last 8 months!!! ( ^ω^ ) there’s hope for us OCD girlies! (

But how do you know if you actually don’t really connect/like with someone or if it’s just a stable & safe attraction that you’re overthinking 😭

I have this but I don’t obsess about attraction and chemistry. I obsess over whether a guy is emotionally available, trustworthy, safe, or not.

I feel you. I basically tried to break things off with my partner after our first date because it was so wonderful but I was convinced it “wasn’t right” because I wasn’t infatuated. it definitely hurt her feelings that I seemed unsure, but she was kind and understanding in a way that nobody else ever had been. that was in 2022. we’re getting married next spring :)

This can be difficult to put into words, and you did it beautifully. Myself, and many people I know resonate, so thank you for your openness and vulnerability!
