Hanging out with ur boyfriend is an exposure. Do it. Practice it. Remember OCD attacks things that are important to you.

I was doing the same and afraid to even speak to him cuz when I did I was anxious and overthinking and over analyzing everything. But little by little it wore off because I was enjoying my time with him. I almost had a panic attack the first time lol I kinda did and sometimes it’ll come up again and I’ll feel shitty but found lots of exposures and affirmations to help ease it, u can do it :’) I believe in you!!

@Anonymous I just remember I’d push myself to hangout with them or talk to him without going deep into thought and giving myself a sort of saying in my head saying to feel this anxiety and then let it go. I never pushed it away because I remembered that makes it worse, so I pushed myself head on like no hangout with him even if it’s scary and sucks to feel this anxiety. Because if you avoid him or whatever you’re trying to avoid, it is telling ur brain it’s true or a threat!

it’s not that I’m gonna regret it, it’s just the fact that I just wanna be happy when I’m with him, I truly do love him I’m just so scared that anxieties gonna ruin our time together

ugh
i’m so scared to get into a relationship because i think i’m a avoidant attachment… like i have a fear of losing myself and being too attached to where i won’t love myself but love them more than i love myself… like i’m thinking about the guy i like and thinking about the opportunity to be with him but something tells me i’m gonna back away because of my ocd… i wanna love myself before i get into a relationship… especially this generation of relationships get me really anxious.. it’s like i wanna be in a relationship but i also don’t because of losing myself… i wanna have confidence in myself and like the person and have a relationship with God at the same time… i think i’m doing a compulsion which isn’t good because my ocd themes keep switching

Horrible anxiety
I have deep anxiety about marriage. I don’t know why I feel so scared of it we decided to push it off anyway without thinking abt any sort of set dates etc. I get a weird feeling when I think about it I don’t get excited like I should and I’m terrified

im scared
my thoughts are screaming at me telling me that i dont want my relationship anymore and that i realized i lost feelings. i have a beautiful relationship of two years with a beautiful boy that loves me dearly and i deal with this thoughs for a year and a half. Im so scared it feels so real im scared i have changed and my last therapy session made it worse she basically told me i have to realise the thoughts are true and stop lying to myself. And made me think i am so scared and heartbroken bc i put high expectations on myslef to be with my boyfriend for all my life. Maybe i dont want to hurt him??? im always questioning my feelings for him 24/7 for over a year. I wm tierd
