Relationship OCD

[Ravenfreak]

I just learned about a different form of OCD called Relationship OCD. There's a Youtuber called Special books by special kids who interviews kids and adults who have disabilities. The woman he interviewed had Relationship OCD, she would constantly worry about if her boyfriend truly loved her and would always question if her actions caused him to not like her. I never knew about Relationship OCD, but I can imagine it's got to be extremely exhausting to deal with. Her and her past boyfriend didn't work out, but she's been going to therapy to help her cope with Relationship OCD. Here's the video I watched if you're interested:

I wasn’t really aware of relationship OCD either until I read about it here, and it does seem like it exists more than people realize. Overthinking doubts, constantly seeking reassurance, and questioning feelings can really affect relationships. It’s often misunderstood as normal insecurity, but for some people it becomes a persistent, distressing pattern.

I honestly was not aware of relationship OCD, but it has got me thinking about how many people could have it and not even realise. I often have thoughts about whether I am good enough or whether I am still loved like I used to be, even though I really shouldn't be worried about it.
