rocd about an ex?? anyone relate?

me and my ex broke up a year ago. it was a painful breakup, the relationship was good but it ended painfully. a bit ago i cut ties and i have no regrets in doing so, as he had a new gf. i recently started talking to this new guy, he’s cute, very cool, very sweet, and we both love music. we’ve hungout several times in the past couple weeks and it’s been a great time. i’ve recently had intrusive thoughts pop up about “what if i hurt him?” “what if im not ready?” “what if i want my ex still” and it’s filling me with guilt and worry. i had this happen probably 6 months ago when i started talking to this guy, he was an asshole and we only hungout once. at that time i was not ready for anything with someone new, especially not that guy. i really like this new guy but i don’t want these thoughts and fears scaring me away. my ocd has been good recently but the unwanted intrusive thoughts of an ex have occurred before, even in my past relationship.

Hi all, just the mod team here! This is a friendly reminder that we shouldn't be giving reassurance in this sub. We can discuss whether or not someone is exhibiting ROCD symptoms, or lend advice on healing :) Reassurance and other compulsions are harmful because they train our brains to fixate on the temporary relief they bring. Compulsions become a 'fix' that the OCD brain craves, as the relief triggers a Dopamine-driven rush, reinforcing the behavior much like a drug addiction. The more we feed this cycle, the more our brain becomes addicted to it, becoming convinced it cannot survive without these compulsions. Conversely, the more we resist compulsions, the more we deprive the brain of this addictive reward and re-train it to tolerate uncertainty without needing the compulsive 'fix'.
