@jm1998 She just fell out of love with me and wanted more out of life than I could offer. Dealing with this has made me a very minimalist and stoic person. All I want is peace of mind from this torture, so I don't have many desires such as fancy things, expensive vacations, giant house. I just want love and peace, which can be very disappointing for those who want more. It was hard, but I feel this is a good thing. Once I beat this, I will be more selective to find a woman who can appreciate my outlook on life. I truly feel for the first time in a long time that things are going to be alright

I'm sorry man. It's rough. I was together with my wife for 8 years, most of the time feeling numb. I didn't feel anything towards anyone, except maybe hate for myself. I was also scared to work with a therapist cause they would just say I'm in denial. I just kept trying to figure things out and don't realize I was basically checking and looking for reassurance constantly. I feel like the nightmare is over and now it's time to heal. I have been doing workbooks alone cause I'm afraid of therapists reactions and I'm also poor. There are a lot of great workbooks out there and awesome videos on YouTube. I'm going to save so I can actually get therapy soon though. I think that will really do wonders

Guys, you have to slowly face your fears about this, one of the big things with ocd is self doubt, you don’t trust yourself and you fall victim to these thoughts and they convince you that you’re a particular type of person. But guess what, you are you and no thoughts or worries is going to change that

I've gotten diagnosed with OCD and I'm in therapy. But I'm worried that I don't have OCD/that I got misdiagnosed. And recently I'm worried that I've just gotten myself into a habit of thinking of dirty minded or just plain old terrible things after I see/hear certain things because I feel like I need to prove I have OCD or else I'm faking(sometimes this goes away). Or that I'm just mimicking symptoms of ocd to cope with real problems I may have and that im just really deep into denial. I don't know...I'm just so tired. I mean, what if I really am what I think I am and this is my brains only way of coping? I don't even really feel anything towards most of the thoughts anymore either I just know they go against my values and I don't want them. I don't know if that's because I'm so mentally exhausted, I just don't care, or that the thoughts are true and I'm comfortable with them.

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.

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?
