@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
@icandothings what made you two split?
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
Quit PMO!
@matty z what is PMO?
Porn
@matty why are saying that? Not sure how it's relevant
Why does my OCD feel so real? One minute I’m so in love with my boyfriend then the next I fear I’m falling out of love and that I’m meant to be with someone else. I feel so numb and empty I just feel emotionless once the anxiety fades away. It actually feels as if my thoughts are true how can I just feel like me again
i'm scared I don't have OCD, I used to be 50/50 about it but now I just keep doubting I do. The reason i'm scared is because I can't feel anything for my girlfriend anymore, sometimes I do and want to love up on her but other times I just feel unnatracted to her and don't feel anything for her. This is taking a tole on the both of us, she cries alot because she knows what i'm going through but it's also hurting her. I also sometimes (not very often) think about breaking up with her or being with someone else and it scares me because I want to love her and only her and only be with her. I'm afraid I should break up with her but I really don't want to. Whenever she compliments me I get uncomfortable, sometimes whenever she says I love you I hesitate to say it because I feel kind of guilty and I can't really feel anything. She picks up on all of these things which makes it even harder to really hide. i know I shouldn't hide it but she's the crying type and I upset her too much already with all of this. Someone please tell me they can relate or that it's OCD, can someone please help me?
I hate how my mind is making me doubt of my intentions when i clearly know that I don’t have any desires to act on my thoughts. It makes my intentions feel so uncertain, and sometimes it would even make me feel like if I wanted to act on my thoughts when I actually don’t, because I wouldn’t be doubting if I did. So since I feel my intentions so uncertain I need to come to an answer, and sometimes it is so damn hard to get that answer, which makes me anxious and disturbed. It would also make me think of my past like, how were you okay without having these thoughts? Or makes me think of my future like, will you be okay without these thoughts? So it would make me think that these thoughts are really desires and I won’t be okay unless I act on them. As horrible as it sounds. And I don’t know if someone gets this too but, it would also make me doubt my feelings. When my family tells me cute things like “I love you” and stuff, I would feel so bad, because my thoughts are towards them. So I would say “ily too” but I feel like an hypocrite saying it, or like I don’t mean it at all, so it makes me doubt if I really love them or not. This is all so overwhelming, and I have gone through so many disturbing and crazy thoughts, feelings and situations, that I don’t know if this might be OCD.
