Does anyone worry they are using ROCD as an excuse to not face their true feelings? I think I’m numb but at the same time I wanna cry. Lately I’ve experienced low symptoms I’ve read so many posts throughout the 2 years I’ve been suffering. My partner believes I’ve gotten everyone else’s experience mixed up with my own… he is right. But now that I am trying not to bring the feelings back and just deal with it. I feel off completely… I just wanna cry… I asked my partner for a hug 3 Times yesterday bc I was very sad and just wanted to hug him. Without trying to feel anything I just don’t feel right… like everything he talks about seems boring…. 😢 it’s really upsetting me

My partner and I are working on things to spark the relationship back up again. I know I can’t blame ROCD completely my friend said my partner is partly to blame too.

If you and your partner have any issues that can be fixed then work on them. I think I am severely mentally tired

@7710 ❤️ I’m scared that he’s not willing to fix them because he’s already giving so much because of my mental health.

@Cassandragoth Try to talk to him. Communication is key. I talked to my partner recently what I want and now we are gonna have date night once a month to spice things up. My partner has social anxiety so he’s stepping out of his comfort zone for the relationship.

@7710 ❤️ I keep seeing things that say like if you have more bad days than good, or if he isn’t committed, then you should end the relationship. Right now I feel like we have more bad days. He also doesn’t know how to support me, I think I’m exhausting him, and he’s having a hard time communicating and that makes me feel like he isn’t committed. I don’t think it will work out but I feel desperate for it to.

@Cassandragoth The thing is you’re going thru a lot mental issues right now. Trust me my partner is burnt out and there is only so much they can say to us. My partner is afraid of saying anything bc he’s afraid he’ll trigger me or doesn’t talk about certain things. Right now I am trying to sit with the idea of not being in love but it’s making me very uncomfortable.

@Cassandragoth Sadly we are the ones suffering. They can be there to support but.,. There’s only so much they can do.

@7710 ❤️ He broke up with me.

@Cassandragoth O.O

@Cassandragoth I’m so sorry…

@7710 ❤️ It’s ok. I think it was best.

@Cassandragoth But please don’t compare my situation to yours. That doesn’t mean breaking up would be best for you.

@Cassandragoth I know…. I just wish my feelings would come back… I’ve obsessed for two years… I really do want this to be ROCD… I’m so depressed… my partner means a lot but not not feeling anything for him at all is destroying me… making me believe we’ve never had a connection at all… 😞
