If ROCD is affecting your relationship, my book is designed to teach you to make helpful decisions, manage your expectations about what makes a healthy relationship and reduce the chaos. It is always better to get your information from a trusted source, such as my book, than different non-regulated forums.

It is available in both physical and E-book format here ⬇️

Relationship OCD is a subtype of OCD that focuses on your relationship.
This OCD theme can present in 3 different ways (and yes, you can have all 3!)

👉 Self-focused- Obsessions may include fears they may leave or cheat.

👉 Partner focused- Obsessions may include focusing on their flaws or if they are ‘the right one’

👉 Relationship focused- Obsessions may include comparisons or wondering if it’s ‘right’.

Here are some non-engagement responses for the next time your ROCD tries to get a reaction out of you 👇

Trying to sit with the thoughts instead of fighting them, can be effective when they strike. These can be used for any OCD theme, not just relationships. Sitting with your thoughts DOESN'T mean you agree with them, it just means you don't react ❎

Here are some common ROCD obsessions and some possible corresponding compulsions ⤵

This is not an extensive list and ROCD will look different for everybody ❎

A very common obsession I am seeing in my private ROCD support group at the moment, is the “What if I don’t have ROCD?” - which in itself, can be an ROCD symptom 😫

OCD thrives in any theme by causing doubt about anything and everything, and that’s when the compulsions come in. We like to feel certain or sure and compulsions like reassurance or checking bodily functions provides this for a small amount of time.

The compulsions provide temporary relief from the distress and anxiety, but actually feed the ROCD cycle 🔄

“What a lot of people don’t know about OCD is that it’s not just about liking your shoes neat- what a lot of people mistake colloquially is ‘I like to have things this way, I’m OCD’. It’s a diagnosis that requires both obsessions and compulsions.”

This is an exert of a powerful explanation that Mayim Bialik (largely known for her role as Amy Farah Fowler in the Big Bang Theory) gave on her podcast regarding her personal struggle and battle with OCD, since childhood 💛

We are seeing a real shift in the amount of people coming forward and sharing a true representation of OCD 👏

“Just this one last time…” - it’s likely that you are familiar with this promise, regardless of which OCD theme you have 😫

The thing is, it won’t be the last time. It will try to convince you that this compulsion will be the last; just one more google, just one more bit of reassurance, just one more comparison just to be ‘sure’.

Absolute certainty is something that no-one has, yet OCD makes it feel not only achievable but necessary.

When OCD next tells you one more time, why not try:

👉 Sitting in the discomfort momentarily.
👉 A non-engagement response such as “I guess time will tell”.
👉 Reading a chapter of “ROCD is it a thing” to learn new techniques to help regain control.

As requested by a follower…

Here are some sneaky workings of ROCD when it targets an ex partner, or a crush (or anyone else who isn’t your current partner).

This list isn’t extensive of all the possible scenarios, but here are some:

👉🏼 Brain emulating “warm” feelings, nostalgia or butterflies when you think of an ex

👉🏼 “Testing” feelings- imagining being with them to see if you feel love / attraction.

👉🏼 Reassurance-seeking.

👉🏼 Constant mental comparisons between your current partner and your ex / crush.

👉🏼 “Checking memories” to evaluate which ones felt more intense.

👉🏼 Avoidance.

Content requests are always welcome, I like to share content that is relatable, shareable and ultimately helps break the stigma of ROCD 💛
