Dear Vivian:

I am familiar with ROCD, it stands for Relationship Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. It is an ocd that focuses on romantic relationships. Anxiety fuels ocd. I am very familiar with the topic, having been diagnosed with it, and having suffered from it (obsessions and compulsions) beginning at about six years old.

Fortunately, it is possible to get better and better and heal a whole lot from ocd, happened in my case. OCD is a very strong mental habit of repeating. Repetition is the compulsion, and the need to repeat feels irresistible.

Since you’ve realized that you suffer from rocd in the last couple of months, did you consider seeking medical help for it?
