Is this ROCD?

[Been there Done that]

I know Rocd is for intimate relationships but how about mom-daughter relationships? I love my mom and am very unselfish by paying bills, buying groceries and paying for upkeep of the home. The house is in my fathers name and he is in prison (for sexual abuse etc.) Now that the house is all paid off we are looking for an attorney to put the deed in my name AND my mother's name. My OCD keeps telling me that the only reason I am living with my mom and the like is b/c I am just after the house.

I have OCD and I know this is NOT true but the OCD keeps telling me that all these 20 years that I have been helping mom I am only interested in the house. Then it tells me that if I am that shallow I may as well take my life (which is the last thing I want to do!) Keep in mind most of the time I am happy and love my life and would NEVER take my life!

Is this ROCD or just OCD and how do I turn off these negative thoughts?

 

[David Baxter PhD]

ROCD (Relationship OCD) is not a real diagnosis or disorder. There is no ROCD. It is a made-up disorder.

There is just OCD, which can take many forms, including obsessions about religion, sex, relationships, harming self or others, germs or diseases, etc., etc., etc.
