@lifewithlex444: we’re still struggling over here but if there’s one thing I know it’s that I’ll come out winning somehow👏🏼👏🏼 #ocd #ruminationocd #datingstruggles #relationships #symptomsofocd
Look into myofascial release, the body can also heal the mind or at least quiet it. I’m an LMT and also have OCD

And then I get afraid that my ruminations will become reality… and if one slightly does, I feel like I created that situation by ruminating. It’s exhausting. I feel like my mind is against me.

Hannah 🩷 :
does anyone else have like weird constant guilt ??? I’m not sure why. My brain like tries to convince me I’ve done something wrong. I’ve been cheated on in the past a lot and my minds constantly making sure I don’t do anything like that or questions if I did and just don’t remember. I know it’s just the ROCD but it freaks me out so much

I think also bear in mind people without ocd when they are dating can also be ruminating a lot in the early dating phases. It just changes the way your brain works for a while, particularly when you don’t know a person very well and you really can’t ‘predict’ their next move

when I'm not ruminating about relationships then I start checking again and googling and controlling or sometimes I'm back my contamination ocd era 😭 my brain is constantly switching if I manage to not give into the compulsion for one thing

It’s actually destroyed my life 😅 And because it took me 15 years to conceptualise my thought patterns as OCD, even with all the therapy, ‘healing’ etc, my thought patterns are even more deeply ingrained and I’m living with the grief of all the opportunities missed, relationships that failed because of those thought patterns! That’s not just rumination anymore those are real tangible events that have fundamentally changed my view of dating and relationships.

Same!!! My therapist legit said “you are with the perfect guy for you” like I know and I still ruminate over EVERYTHING🥲

I was honest about my feelings to my partner and it went well. Told them it’s like not love not hate but a third thing where I’m exhausted fighting my own brain and struggle with wanting to not be struggling with ROCD anymore. I just want a break from the battle of my brain!! Not a person just my brain.

Same, on Zoloft for 4 months now and I’m having the same issue.. I thought it would fix me and it didn’t it just quieted my brain a little.. going up in dose again. OCD apparently needs higher doses than regular anxiety

Do you guys tell your partners that you have relationship ocd/anxiety/ruminations? And how did that go? My partner has OCD but not sure if he experiences it like I do 😖 I’m scared he’s gonna like I don’t truly like him if I tell him
