I told myself I didn’t love him over and over again for 2 years now… how can I fix the damage that I’ve done.. can therapy even fix it anymore? 😞 I look at him or other people and feel no joy anymore… I constantly think negatively towards everything and everything… I can’t even remember why I love him in the first place bc I was so focused on his flaws for far too long…. I am convinced I’m only with him for the wrong reasons. I am always around people and due to that I never can cry on my own….. I am worried that I just don’t have interest in him anymore even though I know I am still depressed. I just don’t wanna lose my partner. But then I think about how I might be with him for the wrong reasons… I had a clarity moment but… it didn’t last long..

Having this conversation could do wonders. Believe it or not, but I am actually going through something similar but in this case, I am your partner. My boyfriend broke up with me a few weeks ago due to his own depression and not being able to see a future anymore or love himself, let alone love me. He pushed and pushed and now we aren’t together but I know he’s not in the right space to make such detrimental decisions. So although we are apart, I stay, and I support. Because I love him. And I know he loves me, but he can’t see it right now. Having this conversation with your partner could give you the space you need to heal and put all of this into perspective on your own. If you’re in the relationship you can’t give 100% of yourself to your healing because you’re constantly giving half of yourself to your partner. It will get better for you and your relationship, take the time to see if you still love him but mostly to love yourself first. If it works out then that’s ideal! But if not, you know you’re working towards healing on a new path. All of this is easier said than done of course and it is indeed heartbreaking. Speaking from my current experience, it’s not easy. At all. But love is strong, you need to be strong enough to hold it together too and right now your relationship with yourself needs that strength. Be strong friend ❤️

@7710 ❤️ It’s the same for us. We share a home too but taking shifts in it recently. I suppose ask yourself why you don’t wanna break up, and ask yourself how you can make changes to love him like before, what has changed.. have you tried couples therapy? No relationship is ever free of these problems, this will work out for you.

@LifeGoesOn I don’t even know how much couples therapy would cost… plus it’s hard to think why i don’t wanna break up since I’ve been so negative for so long…

@7710 ❤️ Things to consider; Do you not wanna break up because - It’s what you know, you’re comfortable? You’ve been in it for so long that its just part of who you are? You’re afraid of change? You do still love him and your OCD is lying? Your relationship brings you joy? You can’t imagine life without him? Your future is still bright? You don’t want to hurt him? None of these need to answered right away. And there’s no right answer.. but consider them, sit with these thoughts, consider each one as a possibility and feel which ones are your truth. None of them could be, all of them could be. Sit and write a list of all the parts about your relationship that bring you joy. Maybe sit and write a list of all the things you could do to improve how you feel about it. But either way, be open and communicate this with your partner. Show him you want it and you’re working on it. He will appreciate that. But also accept that this process could change his mind too. Either way, you should not accept that feeling miserable is your fate - you are capable and deserve much more ✨

@LifeGoesOn I am worried that I am with him for the wrong reasons… I don’t want this to be true… I have thought of nothing but negative things about my partner for 2 years now 😢 If I just listened and gotten therapy I know i would love him again bc when I don’t focus on it I know I love him. He got me this amazing Valentine’s Day card that I kept looking at and smiling at. Please… I don’t wanna leave him bc I know I still have feelings for him deep down. 😢

Please my ROCD symptoms are gone! I’m fully convinced I don’t want or even love my partner!!!… I am not doing good! I’ve never felt this for him before!! I had clarity moments a few times this month! He got me an adorable valentines card that I really love and held on to. This can’t be happening happening!? I constantly have theses feelings that I don’t love him! Now I believe it! I have no intrusive as much anymore! I just wanna be with him again like before please! I don’t wanna leave! But the I freaked out I’m with him for the wrong reasons….. I rather deal with the anxiety more than anymore!

If you feel it would make you happy, then stay. If you feel you’d be unhappy, then I’m afraid that might not be a good enough reason to stay. Space might also put your feelings into perspective. Your love might come soaring back, or you might realise that your thoughts were not in fact OCD and were your truth. Love comes in waves for sure and over the time of life, you won’t love your partner each and every day. You must weigh up what feels right. No matter what you do here, it is the right answer. Have you tried therapy? Or considered it? I know it can be expensive depending on where you’re from (it is here too!) but an alternative might help (Better Help for example). I know this comment might seem flippant or unhelpful but that’s not what I’m trying to instil. Your relationship has grown now and changed, either way it will never be like it was before. But you can work at it, each and every day to make it work. Love doesn’t just happen, it’s not that easy and yes it hurts. But if you truly love them, it’s worth all of this. That’s just up to you to decide however. Nobody can make that decision for you. You have the strength to get through all of this. This will pass, and you’ll never have to relive this exact moment ever again. This will not last forever.

I’ve had so many moments of clarity with my OCD that I love my boyfriend and I’m beyond willing to go through this to be better and be with him. in the back of mind I’ve in a way known I was at least somewhat sexually attracted to women (I’m a woman) since the start of the ocd it was always like “okay. Fine, but I don’t want to date a girl” I only just realized this after the ocd started, I never really argued with this. my ocd has always revolved around if I’m romantically interested in women and not men. I’ve done so many compulsions through this year and a half and 9 times out of 10 have come to the conclusion that I don’t want to be with a woman romantically. I always end up feeling like I know I love my boyfriend. But the doubts don’t stop about whether I want to spend my life with a woman instead, my heart literally breaks to think of not being with my bf and imagining him with someone else. I don’t want to be with a woman I know deep down somewhere underneath the anxiety that that’s not what I want. It doesn’t feel natural for me, unfulfilling. I want to tell my boyfriend about the possible sexual attraction to women (ik it’s still ocd related) but I’m scared that once I tell him, I’ll realize that I actually do want to be with women and not with him. Ugh I’ve spent hours today ruminating about this after being solid in my commitment with him for a little while, I’m stuck in this loop and idk how to get out right now

These past few days I was fine. Minimal intrusive thoughts ,no anxiety etc(to add I'm on medication so maybe it's starting to work although it barely is 2 weeks) and today I got a sudden wave of anxiety and it started latching on some thoughts like" what if I'm in denial and I wanna break up with my bf? And what if erp doesn't work for me because I actually wanna break up with my bf?" But they didn't really stay long usually those thoughts would make me spiral for days or so, now they lasted for some hours. And now I'm trying to trigger myself into being anxious again because if I don't it means I don't have ocd and if I don't have ocd it means I don't love my bf and if I don't love my bf it means I have to break up. Idk if it makes sense but the lack of anxiety makes me wonder if I actually have ocd or not.
