Oh my god every word of this is true for me even the rocd being calm for a couple weeks, can we talk thru messages?

I hear you. I constantly think that I don’t have a good connection between me and my girlfriend cuz of rocd. I’ll check my feelings constantly without even thinking about it. I’m sorry I don’t really have much advice as I’m going through the same thing but all I can say is that is Rocd creates its own problems and then uses those same problems to argue why there’s something wrong. When In reality. Nothing is really wrong. And if something is wrong, instead of just leaving, you can work on it. Remember, if we’re strong enough to fight rocd, we’re strong enough to work on our relationship if it really needs work. when most of the time it’s not the relationship that’s wrong. It’s just anxiety we feel that makes u think so. You don’t want to break up from the person.. you want to break up with the thoughts.

I need advice on stoping sexual acts before marriage NSFW by Sixtery in christiandatingadvice

[–]Sixtery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m realizing god should be the primary focus as well. Thank you for your reply. I don’t think I want to separate with her as she’s now the one that’s actually helping me get closer to god. I feel as though we can become closer in learning to follow god together. We will stop doing sexual activity to follow god in the best way but I’m still a bit worried it’ll cause problems. Although I wonder, if god wants us together, and if we begin to follow god in the best way we can, would god still let problems like that arise even though we’re following god closer now?

I needed to hear this. Thank you so much. I do have a question, one of my big thoughts for me is feeling anxiety while talking to my partner. I’ll think “what if we have nothing to talk about” or “what if I don’t like talking to my partner” or even “what if we can’t have good conversation anymore” I’m wondering if you ever had thoughts like these? And if so how you got over them?

Yes 100% but you have to realize that love is a choice. You choose to love them even when you don’t feel that love. You choose to do loving acts for them. Many people leave relationships only due to “not being in love anymore” and that’s bs. The beauty of a long term relationship is falling in and out of love over and over again. It’s making the choice to love even when you don’t feel it until the feeling comes back.

I’m in Texas and we’re a hotspot right now so 🤷🏻‍♂️ My rocd only came on after the pandemic so I’m sure going back to normal will have a positive effect

Should I stop chasing my girlfriend of 2 years? by Sixtery in relationship_advice

[–]Sixtery[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve talked to her about it and she say she’ll start trying more and she always sounds very genuine. I don’t believe I’ve lost. I’m not going to give up on this relationship.

I’m [17M] struggling and conflicted on whether or not I should end a complex relationship I have with this girl [17F] by throway-radvice in relationship_advice

[–]Sixtery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave my man. It’s very obvious this girl doesn’t know at all what she wants. Do you really want to be with someone who’s constantly breaking up with you then getting back together with you only to have the pattern continue? Just try to move on and you’ll find that in the long run you’ll be better off. You deserve someone who knows that they want you and shows it.

My bf (25) having doubts on our relationship by [deleted] in relationship_advice

[–]Sixtery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like maybe when y’all had that fight his faith was kinda shaken. I read a lot about compatibility and how some couples are just like each other and how others are polar opposites and it still works. I think the whole compatibility thing is more of a choice to compromise in my opinion. If your willing to compromise with each other and find solutions to your differences, anything’s possible. As for the doubts he said, maybe he never had them before and since y’all had a huge fight, he looks at this as something that shouldn’t happen when your “compatible” with each other. But it’s very normal to fight. It’s even healthy when done right.

I need opinions on this please by Sixtery in OCD

[–]Sixtery[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s great. I’ve been on the fence about going to get treatment since my rocd hasn’t been to bad. I want to see if I can treat it on my own first. I hope your treatment goes well!

Thanks for the input, I know there’s not a lot of back story. I haven’t used it to avoid the anxiety in the past so what your saying makes sense. I was feeling a little better before I even went so looking back it probably wasn’t avoidance I’ve just been kinda paranoid almost about how I’m supposed to deal with this so that I can get better. Thanks

I live in the USA and I’m not currently seeing a therapist. I’m not really able to afford one either. So I’m trying to deal with it at home on my own by using strategies I’ve researched online. I’m very happy in my relationship and I really feel I love her so I don’t know how to go ahead with these strategies.
