Valentine’s Day is supposed to be a time of love and celebration, but for those struggling with OCD — especially Relationship OCD — it can feel like anything but. Instead of enjoying the moment, obsessive doubts creep in: Am I really in love? What if this isn’t the right person? What if I’ll never find true love? These relentless questions don’t lead to clarity—they lead to anxiety, second-guessing, and, in some cases, pushing away the very relationships that matter most. It’s exhausting, and no amount of reassurance ever seems to quiet the uncertainty for long.

But what if the real problem isn’t your relationship — it’s the OCD itself? In this video, we’ll explore how obsessive thoughts and compulsions hijack love, making you feel like you need constant certainty in a world where love is built on trust and growth, not perfection. We’ll talk about why the search for the "perfect" relationship is a trap and how exposure and response prevention (ERP) therapy can help you break free.
