While it’s common for people to experience uncertainty in their partners or relationships, those with ROCD may have disproportionate levels of stress and anxiety and perform compulsions to neutralize negative feelings and ease anxieties.

What Is “Just Right“ OCD?

Instead of feeling like something bad will happen if things aren’t done a certain way (common with regular OCD), with “just right” OCD, it’s more about feeling like things are “off” or “not complete” if they’re not done in a particular manner.

What Is “Magical Thinking” OCD?

People with Magical Thinking OCD believe that they will be responsible for something awful happening to themselves or a loved one if they do not perform specific compulsive behaviors that their OCD demands.
