With Valentine's day around the corner, those with Relationship OCD may be going through a difficult time. If this is you, know that this community is here and ready to encourage you.

Relationship OCD (ROCD) focuses on intimate relationships. ROCD is usually partner centered (My partner's eyes are too wide) or relationship-centered (Is this the right relationship for me?). This disorder causes distress and does not allow you to fully experience your relationship.

One tip: DO NOT avoid V-Day, face it head-on! Single or not, practice some exposures to trigger the anxiety and sit with the uncertainty. While this may be frustrating, it is one of the best ways of dealing with OCD.

Do you have ROCD and are having a hard time with Valentine's day around the corner? Please share with us.
