Hey guys I thought I would write a message to anyone out there who needs positivity. I have been going through this since March. It has been actual hell. I have went through nearly every OCD theme, all relating back to my relationship with my beautiful, loving, caring boyfriend. I have had two really good days so I thought I would tell everyone that it does get better. I used to read people saying that and I actually felt like I was stuck forever. You just have to keep pushing through, you will get out the other side. I know this isn’t over for me but I know I will keep pushing through. To anyone reading this if you haven’t already, reach out to a therapist that specializes in OCD. Talk to a doctor about medication options. Stay strong everyone. Sending love xx

Has anyone ever felt completely lost due to rocd? I feel like I don’t know who my past self was. I forget what it feels like to be happy. I look at old photos and videos and I feel like it’s not me. I feel severely confused. Can anyone tell me that they are feeling the same way and have got past it? Please help, I’m feeling really hopeless.

Hey guys,
I just wanted some advice. I have been struggling since March with ROCD. It started over intrusive thoughts during sex which sent me spiralling. Anyways it’s been a crazy road from there, the amount of thoughts and different spirals I have had is insane. I have experienced many different OCD themes. I never went on medication. I am going to a therapist which is definitely helping me. My anxiety is definitely not as bad as it was and I don’t spend as much time ruminating but when I do it feels like the my life is over and I am back to square one. It happens once every couple of days. I’m thinking about starting medication? What do you guys think? Is it stupid to go on medication when I’m getting better? I just feel like my body needs a break. I also keep having these weird moments of like what am I doing here, disassociating and feeling like an imposter. I really really would appreciate if someone gave me advice. Thank you 🙏🏻

Edit: please help

I just wanted to write on here and ask for a bit of motivation to keep going. I feel like I am never getting out of this hell I am in. I feel like I don’t know my partner and I am faking it by being with him.
Has anyone made it through ROCD. Please give me the motivation to keep going. I am so numb I just want to be the same as I was before this flare up.

Hi, I was hoping someone could help me that has recovered or is recovering from ROCD. I am 3 months into this OCD flare up, I’m going to therapy and I can see myself getting better. I really struggle with the discomfort and disconnection that I feel towards my partner. We have been together for four years and our relationship is so healthy and I have had no doubts before this flare up. I feel like I have lost connection and really struggle to enjoy my life at the minute. Nothing feels real and I am just getting by day by day. I really lost myself as well. Does anyone have any advice on what to do when I’m feeling like this ?
