@7710 ❤️ You aren’t alone! I’m struggling with these exact feelings and moments. It’s hard. Bc even though you know love is a choice, there is OCD bullying and making you think you don’t want that choice anymore. The disconnection becomes insane and you start to believe everything bc you don’t have feelings or positive thoughts to reassure you. So you just feel numb, hopeless, and disconnected. I get it 100%. The worst feeling ever. It’s possible that it’s done. But it’s also possible that the feelings are there and exist deep underneath the trauma. It’s all confusing. But at the end of the day…. What the worst that can happen? We will be ok. OCD is a bitch.

@7710 ❤️ That’s what OCD makes you think, I have it all the time, you want him, you want to stay with him, than do, I know if feels like your just making it worse but you can’t live in that fear, you have to face it, plus relationships do have up and down moments yk, what my gf and I do is we got this app called evergreen that has helped us grow as a couple more and know eachother more, maybe you should look into stuff like that to maybe help you and him

@7710 ❤️ I’m tired of being stressed out by everything and everyone around me. I hate my job.. ( don’t know what type of career I even want) I hate living with my family bc they just constantly yell and get pissed off for no freaking reason. Living with my family has put strain on the relationship! But don’t make enough so we can’t even move out!! I am tired of people thinking they can control me and my freaking car and get pissed off at me when I say no to them! I stress eat and buying things bc it’s a stress relief! I just want the stress to end!

@7710 ❤️ Yeah it can be hard. Some tips…I’d advise you to find a trusted friend or family member you can lean on or if you’re spiritual at all, a local pastor or church. It’s always helpful to have perspective from people who are closer to your situation in real life. Sounds like you’re aware of the bad patterns so that’s good. Maybe take some time each day to do some mindful journaling and figure out what you can control and what you can’t in each situation and remind yourself of your values. Let your values guide your actions. Maybe get some books on careers, relationships, etc? The point is you have agency even though you feel overwhelmed, you are not powerless!

@tgrace22 I did have a friend I could go to but I heard she gossiped about it thru a friend and that caused me to lose trust in her.. right now I am convinced I don’t love anyone.. I just hate feeling this way… it’s really like I no longer love him…

Whatever you do don’t make any decisions. Just don’t. Relationships aren’t only valuable if we feel a certain way at all times.

I’m not. I am still confused if this is even ROCD or not. I know I still love him and have feelings for him still. I am actually worried if I fell out of love. I know being in love is a feeling but that’s why I am worried. What if I’m not in love anymore? It’s like I know I’m not… but I know I’ve been obsessing for a long time. I still ask for hugs and kisses. I still do things to show I love him him yet I think I don’t love him? I do more for him than anyone else.

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

Lately, I’ve been feeling like something has changed in me — like I have changed, and like my feelings for my boyfriend have faded or shifted. It’s one of the worst sensations I’ve ever felt. I keep thinking things like “I don’t love him like before” or “I’ve changed too much to feel anything now.” Sometimes when he calls me or makes a joke, I get irritated for no reason. I feel like I’m being mean, cold, disconnected — and then guilt crashes down on me. I remember how I used to feel: warm, close, expressive. And now… I just don’t feel the same. That makes me think: “Maybe I’ve fallen out of love.” But I’m also constantly anxious. I overthink every moment. I can’t relax into anything without analyzing if what I feel is “right.” It makes me wonder — maybe I haven’t actually changed. Maybe I’m just overwhelmed and tired from months of these thoughts and fears. I don’t know how to feel right now. I just want to believe that this disconnection isn’t proof that love is gone, but a sign that I’m scared and burnt out.

I’m really anxious because I know my ocd is really bad right now so I shouldn’t try to figure it out cause my thinking is a mess but I’ve been having feelings of like I’m not sure if I love him anymore or worrying that I haven’t felt a lot like numb (a lot because ocd has been getting worse and worse) and thinking of like how I’ve been focusing on the negatives and only been looking at him through that lens and analyzing and also feeling like I don’t want this anymore. Basically just like negative thinking in feeling like I’m really scared it’s that it’s I don’t love him cause I don’t want it to be over and the thought of having someone replace him makes me ill. But like it feels like I’m not seeing him how I used to and it makes me upset. Today I was near someone I was like oh this person is cute and then I was thinking that the possibility of meeting someone new sounds exciting and now I’m freaking out because this in combination with feeling like maybe I don’t love him anymore is bad. Also my thoughts keep changing. and like sometimes it feels like I don’t care at all and this has happened but like worst it’s ever been and then other times I’m like I do care I do still feel. I’m just really anxious has anyone else felt this before and it was still ocd? 😭😭
