YoungParticipantHi, Confused!
Yeah, I think that really was a manifestation of OCD.
Thank you, I really appreciate it. 🙂

YoungParticipantHi, Anita!
🙂, thanks for your reply!

YoungParticipantHi, Confused!
Thank you, your message means a lot to me, just like all the others in this thread. ❤️
I’ll take some time to reflect on it when I can. In the meantime, if you’re comfortable sharing, could you tell me a little more about your experience with OCD or anything else you think might be relevant?

YoungParticipantHi, Anita!
I don’t know, I think we should try to define all of this more precisely.
YoungParticipantMaybe I set very strict boundaries for myself because I love my girlfriend very much and cherish our relationship.
YoungParticipantHi Anita,
I’m sorry for the late replies. No, I hadn’t heard of it before, but I think it’s quite likely that I have it.

YoungParticipantHi Anita,
No, my girlfriend wasn’t angry with me during those times. It was just due to certain circumstances.
Young
YoungParticipantBy “everything else,” I meant all those situations that happened before. I’m feeling better now, though. Thank you 🙏
I don’t have a physical exercise routine at the moment because I’ve been feeling a bit under the weather. 🙁
But watching YouTube and doing something I enjoy, like working with electronics, really helps distract me.

YoungParticipantHi Anita!
I’m sorry for taking so long to reply. I was deliberately trying to make myself look better in front of her. I remember that clearly.
Over the past few days, I’ve been struggling. I’ve started experiencing shortness of breath because of my thoughts and everything else, and I haven’t been feeling very well mentally.
YoungParticipantHi Anita,
Yes, I used to have similar rituals too.
Your words are genuinely helping me, and I’m very grateful to you for that.
Do you remember how I mentioned that I sometimes try to impress other girls? Maybe you could give me some advice on how to stop doing that? It’s just something I don’t really like about myself.
I’d be happy to continue our conversation in this thread.

YoungParticipantHi Anita,
Regarding your first post: no, I definitely haven’t fallen out of love with my girlfriend. And I think you’re right that fear really can fuel ROCD.
Regarding your second post: I’m sorry to hear about what you went through with your mother during childhood. That’s really sad. 🙁
I’ve experienced and am still experiencing similar things.
I’ve never seen a therapist or psychologist and told them, “I have OCD,” but… I’ve also had my own “rituals” and things like that. For example, touching something an even number of times, and so on.
These behaviors have stopped now, but they were happening relatively recently (less than a year ago).
And yes, I also experience “unwanted” thoughts (I’m not quite sure how to put it — I mean thoughts that I don’t want to have).
I’d be very happy to hear from you again.

YoungParticipantHi Arnz,
Thank you so much for your reply. I really, really appreciated your advice, and I’ll take it to heart. Those were words I really needed to hear.
I’d also like to thank everyone who has been helping me. ❤️
May God bless you all! 🙏
YoungParticipantMaybe, Anita, it’s certainly possible.
It’s just that I really value and cherish my girlfriend.
YoungParticipantRoberta, thank you for your reply.
I’m trying to become a better person for my girlfriend, and I think I’m making progress little by little.
I wish you happiness and all the best! 😊
YoungParticipantHello Anita, thank you for your reply.
No, no, my girlfriend is a wonderful person. She isn’t responsible for my “issues,” and she has never blamed me for them.
Am I trying to compensate for my feelings of guilt? I’m not sure. Perhaps my actions are motivated by that to a small extent.
Yes, she does a lot for me too.
I’d be happy to hear your story. Thank you. ☺️
