Although I do want to say that this can be fixed and cured. There is hope, my bf has a dinner tomorrow with women from his work and normally i’d feel really triggered and worried but I feel really calm and like I can trust him. I will feel the urge to do my nosy and check but I don’t think i’m goinf to be as bothered as I was before cos I’m not that bothered about losing him. Healing always ALWAYS starts with you. You have to stop focusing on him because part of what makes ocd thrive and live on is focuing all your attention on him. Ocd loves to do this. It doesn’t wanna see you heal, I just wants to grow stronger and what’s the besr way to do that? By making u worry and think about him. If you stop for a moment, take a deep deep breath and notice your body. Come back to the present moment, you’ll realise you are safe. Remember that anxiety makes us stuck in the future. You are in the here and now. Nothing is happening. You are okay. It is safe.
I am so sorry you’re going through this. I’ve been struggling with my rocd a lot lately too. It’s so frustrating how stressing about it causes the relationship more stress and then the cycle continues
Sometimes ovulation makes mines ever worse, more so than the period
Thank you for your response! Yes I always tell myself don't worry, do your business and let him be himself without worrying. There are days when I manage it and do good enough and other days thoughts just come back and attack me. Maybe at the time i get these thoughts is when I feel more lonely or sad so Rocd finds the ground to appear. I don't want to keep on being like this as i am waisting my life and self esteem. I don't want to care about what he does but what I do and how I spend happily my Life. This is my true self not worry and anxiety. Thank you!
Today I tried to resist compulsions and stay as calm as I can but then Rocd attacked me again in a massive way. I kind of feel like my mind is foggy and messed up.most of the time so get triggered seems easy. Every little thing I hear and seems suspicious I will overanalyze it for hours because I am so afraid of being betrayed, dumped or someone do something bad behind my back. These thoughts have stuck inside my mind in such a level where my days are spent like that. When I get an intrusive thought it feels so catastrophic and horrible that I feel I can't do anything. I am stuck there thinking and analysing. It is so difficult to handle it, I feel so scared and alone in this...
Hey guys so I was having good days last week . I was feeling connected towards my partner and felt the feeling of being in “love” again . On Thursday those feelings started to go away again and I don’t feel as anxious and now I’m starting to get intrusive thoughts that just love to stick . These thoughts are telling me that since I don’t feel anxious about these thoughts they must mean they’re true about my relationship and that I should leave . It makes me loose hope every time that I’ll get better . Does anyone else experience this ? Does anyone have any advice ? I’m really trying and when I think I’m almost there something happens in my head and I get depressed again :/
I’m freaking out . I had an intrusive thought the other day and now I’ve been numb. I have pmdd and I am just so out of it . I can’t be intimate it’s like I am just angry and I feel no love or warmth or passion. Anymore . I want it all back . It’s telling me to leave my boyfriend like it feels real . Will I be okay ? I’m so scared
