I just found out I likely have Relationship OCD. I’m a male 38. With years in therapy OCD was never really put to me.
After diving in deep with AI (please don’t discount this) I along with therapist and now doctor agree I most likely have ROCD along adhd.
A paste trauma involving my mother at 7 years old . (Not SA but a public shaming type situation) shaped me to never be able to trust the women I love in relationships. Constantly in obsessing over the fact that there must be a secret.
I went extremely deep with the ai and it made so much sense how it spun it back. I’ve always been anti meds until now I’m like I’ve destroyed every relationship with this and now I need to fix it, and the mental exhaustion of it has been so taxing on my life and resulting in binges and drug abuse etc. (Yes, says the anti meds guy)
Went to doc today he said let’s try starting at 50mg.
I’m aware of early side effects that should subside.
I’ve been getting back into gym stuff etc heavy this last few weeks and I have some questions.
Will it negatively impact my working out and the physical progress of such?
Is the sexual dysfunction really as bad as they say? I do remember being in lexapro for short term when I my teens and it just delayed ejaculation but I was definitely still horny lol,
Any natural remedies for it if so?
I’d anyone here dealing with adhd at the same time and taking Wellbutrin with it? How’s that working out?
I haven’t tried Wellbutrin but have wanted to do.
I had to toss adderall was not good for me at all,
I’m just so wary taking these kind of meds because of some of the scary side effects and stories you read about people becoming someone else (in a bad way etc )
Looking for insight, thank you all.
I just need to quiet this mind of mine!
