Feelings and emotions
Does anyone obsess over how they are feeling? How does one overcome this? Any helpful tips would be appreciated π

Yes. Soooooooo bloody annoying. It's so hard to just see what's right in front of me and focus on the present because my brain is constantly doing "feeling checks" and reminding me that I "feel" a certain way. I don't even know if I do feel that way, usually I just go numb, but my brain still seems to think that I should be thinking about feeling a certain way.
It sucks!! Especially when you are having a great time.
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? π
I'm struggling really hard with relationship obsessions. Do I really love my partner? How can I know? Am I really just faking it? That kind of thing. It's making my life and relationship a lot harder than they need to be. I could use a few helpful coping mechanisms, trying to move away from less helpful ones like chasing reassurance.
I read a lot of other peopleβs posts where they deal with intrusive feelings, and sometimes even emotions? Would anyone care to further explain so i can understand this better? it would be very much appreciated.
