A rollercoaster is definitely a good analogy. I always feel the most love when Iām happy and have forgotten about all the negative thoughts, do you relate?

Yes but as soon as I remember what Iāve been thru I start doubting again and feeling unhappy

Literally same. As soon as I remember the ocd and the doubts, it all comes flooding back, the love disappears and Iām left feeling nothing again

hi! I broke a short period of doing well without compulsions because I got triggered again. Before this, I had about two calmer days where I didnāt spiral so much, but now everything feels worse. Iām scared that I donāt love my boyfriend as much as I used to, or that this relationship is making me feel stuck or sad. Heās a wonderful person, and I hate thinking this way. I smelled a perfume that used to make me feel calm and in love, and now it just makes me question everything. I spent hours last night searching Reddit, especially on r/ROCD, trying to see if someone is like me or if anyone has answers. I keep rereading posts, hoping Iāll feel certain about what I should do. But I just feel more confused. I keep thinking, āWhat if I heal and then realize I donāt love him?ā or āWhat if Iām only staying because I feel safe with him or Iām used to him?ā I feel numb sometimes, or like Iām pretending, and I hate it. I want to feel love and clarity again. I donāt know whatās real or whatās ROCD anymore. I just feel lost and afraid. I talk to hi. now and i feel so strange like i dont want to force myself i want to like him i dont understand what i feel i feel so weird in my chest

Lately, Iāve been feeling like something has changed in me ā like I have changed, and like my feelings for my boyfriend have faded or shifted. Itās one of the worst sensations Iāve ever felt. I keep thinking things like āI donāt love him like beforeā or āIāve changed too much to feel anything now.ā Sometimes when he calls me or makes a joke, I get irritated for no reason. I feel like Iām being mean, cold, disconnected ā and then guilt crashes down on me. I remember how I used to feel: warm, close, expressive. And now⦠I just donāt feel the same. That makes me think: āMaybe Iāve fallen out of love.ā But Iām also constantly anxious. I overthink every moment. I canāt relax into anything without analyzing if what I feel is āright.ā It makes me wonder ā maybe I havenāt actually changed. Maybe Iām just overwhelmed and tired from months of these thoughts and fears. I donāt know how to feel right now. I just want to believe that this disconnection isnāt proof that love is gone, but a sign that Iām scared and burnt out.

Iām really anxious because I know my ocd is really bad right now so I shouldnāt try to figure it out cause my thinking is a mess but Iāve been having feelings of like Iām not sure if I love him anymore or worrying that I havenāt felt a lot like numb (a lot because ocd has been getting worse and worse) and thinking of like how Iāve been focusing on the negatives and only been looking at him through that lens and analyzing and also feeling like I donāt want this anymore. Basically just like negative thinking in feeling like Iām really scared itās that itās I donāt love him cause I donāt want it to be over and the thought of having someone replace him makes me ill. But like it feels like Iām not seeing him how I used to and it makes me upset. Today I was near someone I was like oh this person is cute and then I was thinking that the possibility of meeting someone new sounds exciting and now Iām freaking out because this in combination with feeling like maybe I donāt love him anymore is bad. Also my thoughts keep changing. and like sometimes it feels like I donāt care at all and this has happened but like worst itās ever been and then other times Iām like I do care I do still feel. Iām just really anxious has anyone else felt this before and it was still ocd? šš
