Partner focused ROCD
Quote from somedaysoon on December 19, 2020, 11:12 pmI have partner focused ROCD and it has made my life a living hell. Right now I am avoiding my partner out of fear of an anxiety attack or ill start obsessing over their “flaw” which I can’t fix and can’t be changed, makes me feel like the worst human to ever walk this Earth. I don’t know how it went from passing insecurity to full blown obsession. I can’t be around them. I hate myself. Does anyone have experience with this?

You need to gradually reduce avoiding and increase refusing rumination. Yes he and you and me have flaws. That is to be accepted and everything beyond that are just OCD thoughts.

Quote from Guest on January 10, 2021, 10:13 pmI wanted to post an update, I am the original poster, Since posting I got an OCD therapist and have been doing ERP EVERY DAY and it was SCARY AS HELL for WEEKS and then one day I saw my partner and I DID NOT REACT.
I am still going through the process but LISTEN TO ALI - DO ERP. ERP. ERP. DO IT. You will be free.
