I'm in this same.boat. I want to confront old feelings and thoughts, but I don't want to either. In fear of what I might say that isn't really how I feel.

I gotta get over it. My relationship is really good, but I seem to ruminate and finding the negative loop holes that keep me down.

Yeah, when everything is all right I also starting to feel like something goes wrong again. But we can chose, still we can chose!

@jemcu812 I know this. Last week I feel happy and loving and though "why I was afraid of something like these if I clearly see, I love him" and that's when, slowly, more thoughts started to appear and slowly, slowly it hit once again... But moments like those giving me all hope, that my true feelings are something worth fighting for.

Are you seeing a therapist of any sort?

Yes, but she is not OCD specialized. I have some other traumas and hardship, so she is great help with that. Want to go to psychiatrist, but still afraid of it. And yes, we are fighting! We can do this!

Ah, cool. Glad you're getting help somewhere along the way. I've not made the leap yet. Family doc wants me to see a psychiatrist too. .. i just cant seem to get there. Too much anxiety.

I'm always worried that I'm not anxious enough to have ocd and afraid of seeing psychiatrist. But I think that obsessing about something with such emotional pain is also anxiety. If I was calm I won't be suffering and obsessing for ten months... I hope, you will also be able to get help, because it's something hard struggling alone. My therapist, even is she is not OCD specialized, still helping me with everyday living and fighting.

@Andate I feel like starting spiraling over nr not being anxious. Or anxious enough. It's neverending story. My therapist still suspects me about ocd, even I told her that.

Yes! I hear you. The last psychologist I saw, blamed my husband for my panic and anxiety. I finally left my issue now is, everytime i panic or get anxious, that's all I can think of. It's been awful, and this is partly why I'm anxious to see anyone, cause I'm afraid and I really want to move past it. But it rears up and I just get so sad that i even went to see her.

So sorry that you were treated like that. It's so hard hard to find a good therapist, who knows ocd and can really understand you, instead of triggering you more. Can't you afford NOCD specialists? Sadly in my country they're not available...

We got this! Hope, even today I don't see much hope. I'm not even anxious, only sad. I don't want it to be my truth.

@Andate I know what you're saying, hopefully, everything will flatten out for both of us, so we can enjoy life and things again.

i want to give up
I’ve been going through this rough patch for the last four months, and I can already feel an even worse one coming. I just feel scared. And on top of that, I’m going to stop therapy. After everything with my current therapist, I just don’t have the strength to keep trying anymore. I feel hopeless. My head hurts so much, and it’s hard to keep going when everything feels this bad. I just want to cry, hope this feeling passes, and maybe try again if it ever lets up. But right now, it feels like nothing will ever get better. I don’t feel like I can ask for help. I hate that it took me so long to realize this wasn’t the therapist for me. I was too scared of being dramatic, so I let it go on for far too long, and now I feel like I’ve just become a burden-like. I hate that I let it get to that point, especially when I was paying for this. I just want to give up. I feel broken down, and I don’t even want to be okay anymore.

Vent
I cannot help but feel exhausted as I go through life. It feels like I've lost the spark in me. And I'm pushing myself for no cause.
