Hi. Definitely speak with a therapist about this. ROCD is so so hard to try to understand, but they’ll help you. For a while when I was getting better at managing my OCD, I was exhausted from ROCD and almost felt relief when my partner was away. Now that I’ve gotten better, I’ve gotten excited to see him every time. This is just my experience, though. We all have different experiences

I wanna know how did you feel before you got better… I just feel like exhausted.. I keep saying I don’t love him to test myself for a reaction… I am worried I don’t want him anymore…

Not every thought is OCD Sometime it is what it is.

What does that mean!?!?!?

I think he means that some thoughts are what you really think; not everyone is ocd related. And sometimes truth Is hard to accept.. But it is easy to confuse real toughts with rocd toughts so good luck!

@vinay But what am I going to do! 😢 I’ve been obsessing for 2 years! It didn’t feel like this before! It’s like my symptoms are gone!! 😭😭😭 I don’t want this to be true! I had clarity moments with him this month! Why am I agreeing to this!! 😖 I am just at the point I wanna die! I’ve been crying my eyes out rereading what you both said! For an hour! 😖 I was so scared of this happening when my ROCD started! I was so scared I was gonna find out the truth! I’ve been so stressed out with everything in life…

I’ve been testing myself for 2 years saying I didn’t love him to get a reaction… then my ROCD dug into his flaws… I just want everything back to normal again to where I can just cuddle and massage his head to help him sleep.. or watch a movie together while eating his yummy dinners in it while he jokes about the characters.. I am gonna miss out on everything with him… like hearing his laugh while he jokes around friends or him getting excited over something about ghostbusters… 😢 I don’t want this to be reality… but it’s like it is already…. 😞😢

You’d feel relief because that what ocd wants u to feel, if ur asking urself what if what ifs it’s ocd trying to work out ur thoughts will make ur ocd worse and carry it on you need to tell ur self I might love him I might not and not deep ur thoughts else ocd will go on and on. The fact you feel awful about thinking u might not love him show u u love him. You’re not supposed to feel in love with ur parent everyday all day !!

@7710 ❤️ Exactly what SamanthaDan said. All that stress takes a toll. With therapy, you’ll get better help. You have to remember that OCD is the what If disorder.

It will feel like that as he’s a negative things to you right as he’s the person u get ocd about so you’re going to feel stressed towards him it’s not his fault nor urs. Are you getting therapy ? It helped my relationship!! and taking apex cbd oil twice a day 2 drops works wonders !! if you’re depressed u won’t feel love or enjoyment toward things get the help you need

@SamanthaDan Never got therapy… it doesn’t feel right. It’s like I am in denial.. when I think about how I was with him before everything got bad.. I was so loving sure I had moments of doubting but never got this bad… when I think about breaking up with him I get sad… I still test myself saying I don’t love him… I just wanna love him like before again…

@SamanthaDan But what do I do about not having symptoms anymore… that I am believing I don’t love him anymore…. 😞

@7710 ❤️ Ocd thoughts are typically what you fear the thought of you not loving him anymore does it make you anxious what do you do to make urself feel better do you confess that to him ?

@SamanthaDan I feel better when he just gives me hugs but even that doesn’t work… I am gonna lose him…. 😞 I never confessed to him to make myself feel better.. I’ve always told myself I didn’t love him and when I did it would give me relief but I would start freaking out badly… I just want to love him like before again… that’s all I want…. He has the cutest belly and I use to rub my face against it to show affection… 🥺 We have some issues we as a couple need to work on.. but right now my emotional connection isn’t there which is fueling it even more

@7710 ❤️ Do things that you two used to do , date nights are essential. love is a funny ol thing. You’re not supposed to feel in love with your partner all the time I go does without feeling a connection due to all the stress to do with ocd

I work 24 hour shifts when my Boyf picks me up he gets scared and low-key annoyed as he knows soon as he sees me his ocd will come flooding in but he loves me he’s just stressed about ocd towards me but therapy has changed his life and cbd oil

i went to therapy today and i told her about the lack of feeling i gave with my boyfriend, when we do anything, and all the anger i feel for no reason and she somehow told me im not sure i didnt understand it that , it dosent make sense that i want to love him but i dont feel love and i feel disgust when we kiss and thinngs and that i cant accept the truth????? like she is telling me i have lots of fear in me and im telling her im scared that i dont love him but this relationship is making me feel sad and uneassy when i want to be happy and calm bur i kept telling her all of this is bc of the thoughts and she told me that the thoughts are suppose to ease ar least when i am with him… i didnt tell my bf i wrnt to therapy bc he thinks they only want money, and that they can help me but i hav to help myself, and last time i went to therapy i wasnt feeling better and he is wondering how i wasnt feeling any better and that its strange to him to do “steps “ like this bc they only want money. And i left more confused and sad because she confirmed my fears somehow? i dont understand. im just scared i dont actually love him and that i only put high expectations on this relationship and i cant accept the truth. She told me , after i told her i always told people that these thoughts are not true bc they felt out of place, that we can say one thing and feel one thing and i felt like she was telling me again that these thoughts are real. I know im sad and miserable but i dont want to be like this, im scared that i iust matured and i simply dont love him

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 didn’t spiral so much, but now everything feels worse. I’m scared that I don’t love my boyfriend as much as I used to, or that this relationship is making me feel stuck or sad. He’s 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 I’ll feel certain about what I should do. But I just feel more confused. I keep thinking, “What if I heal and then realize I don’t love him?” or “What if I’m only staying because I feel safe with him or I’m used to him?” I feel numb sometimes, or like I’m pretending, and I hate it. I want to feel love and clarity again. I don’t know what’s real or what’s 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

My boyfriend is telling me every time im anxious, that if i didnt like him (i always think that i dont love him) i wouldnt suffer this much over my thoughts, and i could have just leave him. Its very true but i dont feel better at all and im thinking that i dont want to hurt hum or that im used to him and dont want to accept the reality and thats why i suffer because i am a good person???? im so sad and scared and anxious.
