it can be so common to feel like we need certainty, right? And that can include even certainty within knowing whether or not this is a real concern or it's relationship OCD related.
I think there's this big misconception with relationship OCD that somehow if it's related to relationship OCD, then it can't be a real in quotes concern, then it's not a in quotes valid concern.
And as always, with especially relationship OCD episodes, I usually give an example of like the thought train and the thought process and what that might sound like.
And so I'll give a little heads up before in case it is too triggering for anyone listening to because I know sometimes hearing those thoughts out loud can either bring some relief and comfort in knowing you're not alone, or it can lead to us spiraling ourselves.
So depending on where you're at, you know where you're at, do what you need to do.
Please honor and listen to yourself and what you need in this moment, and let's get into it.
