ROCD and Dating

Hi all,

I’ve just started dating a lovely nice man but since then, all I’ve had are different and distressing ROCD thoughts left right and centre such as;

• Do I fancy him enough?

• Will the relationship be healthy? (Recovered from sex addiction recently & had thoughts of me using him as a new addiction or being too clingy)

• Do I fancy him too much?

• Am I ready for a relationship?

• Am I going into a relationship for a healthy reason?

I’ve no idea how to control this anymore, but I’m continuing to date him to beat my OCD thoughts. But I have no idea how to cope with this. Any ideas?
