ROCD and support from boyfriend
by medjedkajo
Last post

...See more Don't continue reading if topics about ROCD trigger your obsessive and instrusive thoughts. Stop, take your time and breathe. Only a few days ago, I had a massive breakdown. The honeymoon phase ended, my friend ghosted me, my depression got worse and I experienced ROCD for the first time in my life. It's the scariest experience of my life, and it's only been 4 days. I'm still struggling so much with constant doubt, constantly going on Google, and constantly trying to ask for reassurance. Last night, my partner told me "You can break up with me if that's what'll makes you happy." and I did. But even with temporary relief, I still felt pain. They were severely hurt and I told them that I'm not ready to make a decision like this in my condition. We aren't broken up anymore, but they are more patient and understanding with me now. And I apologised for being so spontaneous. Now they know about my ROCD and are asking me how they can support me. I told them to act as they are. Their love for me is a trigger, but I don't want to push it away. I want to welcome it and let those anxieties pass through my body. However I do have a question, Are there other ways my partner can support me through this? I know no relationship is the same, but learning about different kind of approaches might help. I can write so so much about how much I'm suffering, and how much pain I'm feeling at the moment, but I'm trying to stop myself from that.

...See more I recently bought new pants on amazon and my mom touched the package with my pants to give it to me and now I don't want to wear them because I feel like it is "contaminated". Am I overreacting? Someone please help I am going crazy with this to the point where I throw good clothes away to buy new ones because I feel like it is "contaminated". I am not rich and I cannot afford to being doing this every time my mind gives me these thoughts.

I can’t get out of the house anymore because all I think about is my body and face, its making me nauseous. It’s getting so bad i don’t feel comfortable with my own parents looking at me. Please, what can I do?

Mental health (PTSD)

...See more Hello everyone! I have decided to share with you one of my most memorable experiences in life. PTSD: I have suffered from PTSD for more than a year due to a bad problem that happened to me one day. It was a misunderstanding and I was the victim. I survived finally after so much pain but now I became stronger and I use my experience to help others. So if there is anyone who wants help or a Listener who chooses to send the member to another listener, I am here and I will do my best to help. MOON 🌚 🌝

...See more My ocd is really bothering me. I'm 16 and my mom won't help me. I don't want to live like this. I struggle with wanting to seclude myself from everyone, suicide, or just giving up all together. I’m very very put together on the outside no one could tell that I talk to myself and micromanage everything I do. I don’t have anyone to talk to and no one understands me.

...See more Hello, I have been noticing myself beginning to have obsessive behaviors related to contamination and intrusive thoughts that are worsening because I am really anxious and in nursing school. Im hindsight I have had repetitive routines and behaviors my whole life but I am coming to terms with the fact that I may be diagnosed with OCD soon by a medical professional I am seeing. I want to know if anyone has any tips to manage because although realistically I have been this way my whole life, it is becoming hard to function. Thank you for listening.

...See more I was here a couple months ago, I was deep in depression, OCD and other mental issues. I reached out for help to different people who were very willing to help. I used this app as my therapist for a while. I got encouragement and I've been working hard on bettering myself. I've noticed that in the past few weeks I've gotten much better and I've felt myself getting unstuck more and more. I still overthink and have OCD related intrusive thoughts but I can say for sure I've come from afar. This was just to key you in on my mental health and to reach to people who relate. Thank you

...See more I have a fight with OCD every day it won't ever give up, but neither will I if I could physically beat the life out of this demon inside my head I wouldn't think twice about doing it because it causes me to lose out on happiness and makes me struggle with simple things in day to day life sometimes its worser than others but mostly very bad I suffer with it severely and its linked to something tragic I think that happened in my life let's just say I got attacked and it was terrible it scarred me for life and since that happened the OCD started to show signs and since then I've struggled badly with it ever since I hope someone can understand and has experience with this issue not because I want you to suffer with it but because I want someone who can relate and knows how I feel. Thanks.

Please help with consumed thoughts 😞

 February 23rd
...See more I’m desperately seeking help with my consumed thoughts that are taking over my life right now.  A brief background: I recently returned to work after a traumatic incident following severe bullying and discrimination. When I returned I was shocked that many colleagues/friends were hostile to me, as they stayed  working with my bullies (there was no discipline in the end). While I did have some support, I’ve found it difficult when I’m face to face with these others that have chosen to be hateful without even reaching out to me. It’s a complicated case.  Well last week I was in the office of a former friend I guess and I was caught off guard with the conversation.  I’m not great on the spot as I usually need to digest what’s being said before I can respond properly. Long story short I didn’t say what I should’ve said to defend myself properly. This person represents a big group that has treated me unwell for a long time. Here’s where I need help. I know it’s one thing to just say forget about the event, but I can’t. I have been so consumed with these invisible conversations. I should’ve had nonstop for the last week. I can’t eat. I can’t sleep. I’ve been pulling my hair out. I do get consumed with thoughts, but for some reason, I can’t seem to break out of this. I feel like I missed the biggest opportunity ever to make somebody understand something so big even though I know it doesn’t matter. I’m so close to even texting this person to seek out another conversation even though I know it’s a bad idea. Someone please help me heal. My brain is eating itself up. Does anyone have tips to break this obsessive cycle?

Hard to stop certain urges..

...See more Idk how to explain it without it coming off weird.. My counselor says it's a form of self sabotage and might stem from past childhood trauma or something but idk why I enjoy the risk and thought of someone wanting the worst for me.. I've been having the urge to give my passwords and personal information like pictures of my credit cards and stuff.. I know it's not the best thing to do but idk why I continue to have the urge to do so.. My counselor says to avoid it but it's hard at times.. Sorry I'm sure it all comes off weird.. Idk why I enjoy the risk of it all so much..sorry for such a long post

...See more ughh. back in my old roleplay server from high school, i gave ownership up to one of my mods who was younger than i cause i felt like i got too old to be running it anymore (im 18, i made the server when i was 17/freshly 18, and left when i graduated) and i just feel horrible. i didn't realize that *** servers required so much attention and i hope i didn't cause them too much stress (i checked in recently after the server was inactive and they said they never were stressed but yknow) i just worry and i hate that i made that dumb mistake. in the mod application they gave a age range of 13 - 15 and since the other mods were 15/16/17, i thought it was fine since everyone would work together. plus they ran their own server before and my other moderator was friends with them. but nope! im pretty sure theyre 15 though thank god. their account is from 2022 and we've both talked about high school. whenever big situations came up like adults being weird i dealt with it myself because i didnt want anyone else to. i then told them im not comfortable with them running the server by themselves nor being owner. we agreed on it and the server is being run by a close friend of mine who i trust immensely.  i feel like a monster. my moral ocd is always finding ways to try to make me feel like someone who hurts others.

...See more Hello! I am new to 7 cups and new to this community! I’ve never been properly diagnosed with OCD because I live in the US and the healthcare system is unaffordable for most people. However, I struggle with head picking, intrusive thoughts, and threatening myself that something bad will happen to someone I love if I don’t do something completely non related. For example, if I see a piece of trash on the ground and don’t pick it up my mom will die. Anyways, I’m here to get support and support others in a welcoming community.
