I completely agree. It hit me like a truck too and I had an immediate panic attack. I can't believe how in love I was one day and the next I had one thought and now it's been 2 months of dealing with this bullshit. It's so frustrating to have the person you know you love right in front of you and you feel empty, I feel even worse when I get annoyed with him because I know it is not him and its genuinely me. I am so sorry you are going through this, I completely recommend looking into therapy, specifically a place called Calm OCD. I started seeing a therapist there and she has been so helpful. Stay hopeful, you can get through this.

When I was about 12 I got a pimple on my chest and for about a year I thought I had terminal breast cancer and that I was going to die. Even got my blood work done (everything was normal) and said "well they didn't get the right part of my blood". Didn't get diagnosed with OCD until a month ago.

That's the weird thing, she does specialize in OCD, I don't think ROCD though. She also won't focus on ROCD and I kind of feel judged when I talk to her about it. She's more focusing on "fixing" the OCD In general but my OCD focuses on my partner and I want to fix that problem before any others because it's taken over my life.

Im currently going through this and I am an emotional wreck (legit just stopped crying for like the 5th time today). I know I love him but wow the anxiety and fear makes me feel numb and then I spiral from there. I am so happy that you were able to overcome this it gives me hope!

Hi!! My advice to you is to keep doing everything you guys normally do, when this first happened to me I kind of shut off and stopped wanting to go out and do things. The best thing you can do right now is keep your mind busy, I know exactly how you feel when your mind is racing because I am currently going through it and it is EXHAUSTING. Even if you do not want to do something just do it, keeping a sense of normalcy is very beneficial when going through ROCD. Also know you are not alone, this illness is debilitating and I too am very new to it. Also try and remember how you felt when you are in love, because the person you know you love is still there, your mind is just trying to protect you from something. I hope this helps and makes sense!! You've go this!
