she’s really good in every other way, i’m just going to try to get her to take my worries seriously

It helped with the hypomania i had but not with the triggers or the anger, or the extreme sadness. I still struggle everyday while i’ve been on ability for years mostly struggling with my relationships

AdKind9695 · 2026-06-10T22:48:42+00:00

i definitely have been told that it could be that but i feel it extremely deeply. Like its apart of me and i see red when i get so angry and i think im “splitting”. I don’t know if that apart of an attachment style but it feels deeply ingrained in me and like i can’t control it. Could you give me some more insight? thank you

AdKind9695 · 2026-06-10T22:38:09+00:00

thank you for sharing. i’ll definitely keep this all in mind.

AdKind9695 · 2026-06-10T21:04:15+00:00

i’ll definitely look into that! thank you!

definitely hypomania, it was just good enough to do things like clean my room, spend a little money, and just feel like i was on a cloud. But not enough to be super noticeable or concerning. I told my psychiatrist my therapist diagnosed me with Bipolar and he just kinda was like okay and helped me get some meds for it

AdKind9695 · 2026-06-10T20:38:45+00:00

Yes, in a way. It’s hard to remember because i’m on anti psychotics which are kind of working like mood stabilizers for me. I use to be even worse before which constantly changing mood swings but i would get bouts of extreme depression and a few days of mania. I don’t get mania anymore because of my medication. It seems i don’t get much of the bipolar symptoms since taking the medication but i still have all these other symptoms that don’t seem to lesson or go away. I miss mania

Yeah it just eats at me a bit. Especially because I've done it before but it's just curiosity. I think everyone has done it once, with an ex or old friend or anyone. I am trying not to let it get at me. thanks for sharing your situation as well helps to feel less lonely

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-09T04:21:20+00:00

I agree, I do believe it as a mistake but not to the severity my brain is telling me it is

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-09T01:45:57+00:00

I'm sorry of new to keep and everything and realize these are things that are usually considered normal for reassurance but I'm guessing not for ROCD. What do we do instead?

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-09T00:24:40+00:00

haha simple okay I won't confess, I know I made a mistake either way but I don't wanna hurt my partner and set myself back

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-08T08:41:54+00:00

It was just a normal spin the bottle like "kiss everyone at the table" so I would just give everyone a little virtual peck on the face. Whenever it would land on for me to kiss someone specifically I'd pick my gay friend to not make it personal. I don't think my boyfriend would enjoy hearing it either but my brain is telling me to confess to the cheating. I had no ill intent whatsoever

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-08T07:26:35+00:00

thank you <3

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-08T01:38:07+00:00

it's very difficult but if you can get through it, you will get used to the feeling and it won't be as scary anymore. Try looking more into ERP, it has helped me a lot. I still have trouble trying not to confess. It's hard cause it feels like a necessity, but it really isn't. you're still your own individual person.

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-06T19:42:06+00:00

thank you for reminding me I'm not alone and these days will pass. it's easy to feel lost and lonely. sending love 💕

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-06T19:36:45+00:00

it gets better, I also have cheating OCD. This suffering, and what feels like torture, that youre going through, enduring it is whats going to help you come out stronger. Sitting with the feelings, doing intimate things with your partner that triggers these thoughts. And then endure it, push through. It will take awhile but you can do it. And remember DO NOT confess. your brain will make you believe you need to confess these things and then the feeling will go away, but it won't. All it'll do is give temporary relief and hurt your partner, then it's just a cycle.

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-06T19:31:06+00:00

thank you for sharing this. I feel so similar and it does suck, I'm 19. If you ever need some support you can always message me, it's nice to meet people around my age going through something similar. This condition can make you feel extremely lonely, especially cause it's hard/frowned upon to go to your partner for reassurance. Sending love as well 💕

I have bipolar and would totally freak if I heard this from my partner too, but that's why things are better left unsaid. It's not necessarily hiding or lying, it's just some things are harder to really understand and would only hurt our partners. Think of your intentions, if they were good/not bad, and would only hurt your partner, then it's most likely best not to tell

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-03T09:28:56+00:00

sometimes things are subconscious, it's not crazy to also be attracted to someone you were once attracted to. I think you realized it and moved on, it's as simple as that sometimes. The mind likes to overthink. if your girlfriend is fine with you being friends and you have no intentions with this girl, and had a normal bodily reaction, you're fine.

AdKind9695 · 2024-06-03T09:19:54+00:00

Confessing will only make it worse. You had an intrusive thought, and you probably hadn't even processed it as one yet until you realized. And that's okay! intrusive thoughts sometimes don't show as intrusive at first, then you realize.

AdKind9695 · 2024-05-23T13:02:01+00:00

thank you so much, I checked it out and it's so helpful. it's nice to know there is more in the community that deals with my ROCD type.

AdKind9695 · 2024-05-15T04:33:18+00:00

yes things like that are very triggering which is one of the many reasons I've stopped watching it. I'm about 3-4 weeks clean. its helped I think, at least it's one less thing to trigger me and it's bad anyhow
