Anyone else go through this thing, where the thoughts about your partner no longer bother you, but the feeling it came with is still there??

I just wanna feel attracted to my partner again. Like I know I am. There’s just the anxiety and the other things still there. I feel like I’m just trying my best to hold it all back

@NoRocd1991 I’m in long distance, and I’ve gotten over the me actually wanting to break up fear ocd thoughts i was having. Now it’s like severe anxiety that what if next time I’m with him it doesn’t feel right.

@kirby7980 Keep in mind that you’re not always gonna have butterflies. Feelings come and go, ebb and flow. Do what you wanna do with your partner, despite your thoughts and how they make you feel. Don’t let OCD win

yes. i still feel the intense physical sensations of anxiety like racing heart and i get very hot but thoughts do not accompany them. i try to acknowledge them as physical sensations that will pass and i do my best to not make any connections or assumptions about why its there
