I constantly will bring up to him what annoys me or makes me anxious - and some days it’s almost everything. I feel so bad and so mean but it just comes out cause I get stressed over what he is doing. I obsess that he isn’t working enough (even though he does) , I compare to prior people, my parents, etc, the cycle never ends —- I feel like such crap cause I know how bad it makes him feel

☀️ I start thinking about it over and over again and I make myself better by hearing about other people who do the same things and I get the urge to get reassurance from people , my triggers are people who have a lot of fun by doing activities like bungee jumping, sky diving, and go out a lot with their friends and go clubbing etc , those who just have similar life style to him make me feel so much better , but I have to admit my ROCD was SOOOO bad before I would get angry at him or bring it up to him or encourage him to do certain things and now I’m learning that acceptance is KEY!

I know! I used to do that but I promise you it got sooooooooooooo much better once I started to accept it to myself , like for eg. I would say “he is not outgoing, he is quiet but I love him anyway that’s why I haven’t left him” or For you say to yourself “he doesn’t work as much as X and that’s okay, he doesn’t need to be that way” like just accept everything that your fighting against even tho here and there I still do it it for so much better and easier because I broke the cycle

For the past 3 months ish I’ve been struggling on and off with this anxiety and fixation over my relationship. To wondering if i still have feelings for an old friend, wondering if i actually love him, wondering if the thoughts are all real and im just trying to cover it up with ocd. It sucks, when im talking to my boyfriend i feel fine. The words i love you and talks about the future come naturally. I can’t imagine myself with anyone but him. But this constant rumination on my relationship is KILLING me and I’m scared it’s going to ruin what i have. It makes me numb and disconnected which therefore makes me believe the thoughts even more. They just feel so real sometimes and it’s so scary like why can i not just enjoy it. We’ve been together for a while so i know there’s periods of like feelings ebb and flowing but this is so much more. It’s just constantly sitting on my chest with anxiety. My compulsions are coming on this app, looking at photos of us and confessing it to him. He’s very understanding and helpful. I love him so much. I just need help / I’m also just starting new meds as well ..

I don’t understand why I don’t feel happy, why my mind keeps making me think so negatively about him. Nothing makes me feel joy anymore. I keep thinking that he’s stupid, that I don’t like him, and when he speaks kindly to me, I feel nothing. The worst part is that I feel completely numb, like I have no emotions at all. And that makes me think that maybe I really don’t like him, that I will eventually reach a point where I realize my worst fear is true. I keep fighting with him because of my attitude. I treat him badly, and I know it’s because of my thoughts. I can’t see the good in anything. Today, he told me that I would be better off without him because I always seem so sad. He moved to my city for university just to be with me, and instead of making his life better, I feel like I’m making it worse. The thoughts don’t stop, even when I’m with him. I see people posting about how they feel calm when they’re with their partners, but I don’t. I can’t look at him without having intrusive thoughts, and I can’t even kiss him. Today, he told me that he doesn’t feel loved by me anymore, that I treat him poorly. I am constantly afraid because I feel nothing when he says things to me, because I don’t feel like I care. When I look at pictures of us from when I was in a better place, I feel like I was a completely different person. I start thinking that I’ve “matured” and that’s why I don’t feel anything anymore—like maybe I only liked him because I was young and naïve. Everything he does and says irritates me, but he loves me. What if I’m only with him because I don’t want to hurt him? What if I’m just used to him? I feel scared all the time. I don’t understand what’s happening. He keeps trying to apply logic, but it doesn’t work on me. So many times, he has tried to make me feel better, to tell me that I still care about him and that I don’t need to feel love all the time. But my heart breaks when I see how attached he is to me while I feel like I don’t feel the same way. I feel like I’m hurting him, and I don’t know how to get out of this dark place .
