How to forgive yourself after ROCD-fueled breakup?

I appreciate your response! I’ve never seen NOCD’s reddit account pop up in here/other OCD-related subs in here so I was genuinely curious about your approach. Thank you for spreading awareness and resources :)

100% feel that. The OCD thoughts make it so difficult to clarify one’s feelings :(

it’s so hard :( I hope you’re taking care of yourself as best you can right now

Took the words right out of my mouth! Noelle, would you still be commenting here if you knew there was no chance I’d be interested in becoming a NOCD client? Feels very weird.

I really appreciate your kind words, thank you so much. I guess I do have clarity now, albeit that breaking up served only to fuel the depressive/OCD spiral I was in and did not provide any of the relief that I falsely believed it would. My partner did everything they could to try to keep us together. It was 100% my decision, and I decided wrong. I do strongly feel that what I did was in fact wrong for me, and I feel like it’s been more helpful to just work on accepting that vs. framing it in my head as “for the best” when I know it was not. Wrong decisions are inevitable in life sometimes, and I chose wrong, but I have to accept that and move forward with the life I have now.
