You're strong; i know you can get out of this cicle!! Wanting to break up it's like a defensive mechanism! You feel anxious, you want to escape anxiety so you want to escape by the situation!! But you feel anxious because of your thoughts and emotions!! You have to learn how to manage bad feelings, without being scared!! There are a lot of opportunities! Like Erp, cbt, books, apps, meditations etc!!

I just started ERP literally yesterday! I’ve tried it a couple of time already but i keep having these thoughts that are telling me “you don’t even have ocd, why are you doing this?” Or “ you don’t love your him and we’re not going to last so there’s no need for any of it” and it just make it all feel so real. Like if I’m lying to myself about loving him. It’s just so weird, my mind has convinced me that i don’t love him when deep down i know i do and if i lost him it would be the worst feeling ever.

I don't know. I just fucking went down a huge rabbit hole of this lady on ROCD Reddit who described something very similar to how I feel about my boyfriend. She was so scared to break up but wanted to anyway bc she wanted to explore and stuff. A lot of the stuff she wrote was things I swear I could have written myself. And I feel so anxious and sick bc she ended up leaving her boyfriend. She's not happy now but feels it's the right choice. I'm so fucking scared - bc I feel like I need to do it now. I feel in ways no ROCD sufferer has felt and I swear this is true. What the fuck??

How do you guys get past the anxiety? I feel like my thoughts are the only thing that control my mind. So often I feel like I should just leave my partner even tho I love them so much because I just feel like these thoughts are too much. I over analyze everything. I feel so stuck and defeated. I just want to be normal. I feel so toxic for the thoughts that I have

I feel like I want to break up with my partner and go off and experience things like falling in love and butterflies and magic again. My partner is my home and my family and my rock and we’re compatible but sometimes it feels like I have these unfulfilled needs. And then ocd comes in and SCREAMS about these things and pulls me away from my partner. We’ve been together ten years. It says leave leave leave leave leave. And I feel like deep down I don’t want to stay. But I know love is a choice. How can I choose to stay when my body is screaming rub. I know I have ocd, and this is what ocd feels like, and I also have a lot of trauma regards to attachment. Am I being a coward??? Will this ever end?
