I love him but why can’t stop this… When I try to not obsess I hear in my mind saying “I wanna break up” over and over before…

I've been there, you just gotta wait it out
@Anonymous I kept testing myself saying I wanna break up to test myself…. I damaged myself….
I have been there, you just have to realize it’s the OCD saying that and not you. OCD tends to attack the things you love most. Hang in there!
@chatala It’s not going away!! It’s been 10 days… I am worried I just don’t want him anymore…. I obsessed about our issues and it makes me wanna leave!!!! I wanna love him! I…. I hope I can get thru this…😰
I’m so sorry to hear your dealing with such distressing thoughts! Intrusive thoughts can seem so loud and real in the moment. Remember, trying to analyze them or trying to push them away will give them more power. Non-engagement techniques can work wonders! Best of luck!!
@EmilyCruce This doesn’t seem like ROCD… I don’t know if this stuff blended into my personality or whatever…
@7710 ❤️ But okay so worst comes to worst it's not your ocd. You are obviously upset about this which shows you care, so then focus on falling back in love. ALL relationships go through these phases and sometimes you won't want your partner or you think about other people. That's OK and natural. We are humans with ideas and brains that constantly chase feelings. Now the important part is that you turn towards eachother and remind yourself why you love eachother. Some people go years in a relationship with ruts, only to pick themselves back up and falk back in love with eachother. Not feeling love is NOT a death sentence in a relationship. Give yourself some grace, you got this
@Anonymous I don’t wanna. Break up!! 😭😭 I don’t want this to be me!!! This can’t be real!! I still show love to him I still say I love you! I want to choose him! I don’t wanna end up ending my relationship! I can’t stop crying!! I love him I know I do! I am hiding my face from him so he doesn’t see me cry….
@Anonymous 😭😭😭
@Anonymous I just want my relationship back. This can’t be real!!! It can’t be!! 😭😰
@7710 ❤️ I need this to stop!! All I have been doing is crying all day today and yesterday….
@Anonymous Not real!! Not real!!!
@7710 ❤️ You got this, I've been there and my love cane back. But you gotta stop checking ans guessing
@Anonymous It’s just how am I gonna get past this… 😞
@Anonymous It wasn’t like this 2 weeks ago.. I obsessed but had happy moments and knew I loved him a lot.. I just want to love him but am I just in denial… I just want my happy moments so I can be happy with my partner. But then at work it gets bad bc it makes me believe I have crushes on people. I just don’t know… I obsessed about it for so many years.. 😞 he is the one person I truly care about… I mean that with all my heart. I love him. I can’t even touch him without feeling guilt.. I just want this to stop so badly…
@7710 ❤️ And it will but with time and patience. I've been there, I did bath things in my relationship because I thought I didn't love him. Guess what? I didn't get those warm butterfly feelings with him anymore and I was going crazy. I'll call myself out but I looked for it under the covers with other people, only to realize whatever relationship I'm in I'd "lose feelings". After going through this awful journey I realized love isn't about those infatuation feelings. GIRL, they end with anyone, that's strictly a biological thing for reproduction. Real love is working past those feelings, doing it together and making it work
@7710 ❤️ Your crushes is your minds way of trying to achieve that feeling. Brain is so stupid, brain doesn't know any better. But we do. We aren't just impulses, we choose what we do
I keep having this overwhelming thought of "I need to break up with her," however I really don't want to. It causes me so much anxiety when I try to fight the urge to the point that I'm bed ridden and unable to work. Is this normal for ROCD or am I just fighting my actual feelings?
Recently my ocd keeps asking me if I love my boyfriend enough and that if I don’t love him enough I should breakup with him. It’s really bothering me and idk what to do about it. Sitting in the uncertainty is too much and I fear sitting with it too long I’m just gonna crack and give in to a compulsion.
I know it’s long but plz read :( have been having really bad ocd about my relationship and my partner and it has gotten worse and worse over the span of like about nine months I’d say. I do acknowledge there are flaws and legit issues about him and the relationship like there are with anyone but I also know ocd has clouded my judgement and perception by analyzing everything and compulsions. For a while I kept feeling this need to get out which I know was ocd. I was really scared to spend the weekend with him because I thought I would just be annoyed and irritated cause it’s been that way for a while but he also was going through a period of high stress so maybe I was resenting him for that and I also wasn’t communicating how I should have been when I was upset because I’ve done that too much in the past. This weekend I was told in therapy to just be in the moment and not have to worry about trying to answer the question of do I love him or should I break up. It did help but It’s weird cause this weekend ended up better but I also was kind of numb? Like I was enjoying myself but didn’t feel what I always have felt in the past? Anyway, I am really anxious because i feel like if I loved him I would be supportive of when his parents compliment him or when he does well at something when instead all I think of are that I’m not happy or annoyed because of things he does that upset me or make me mad and it’s like that’s the only way my brain wants to see him as a person. Or when he is upset it feels like I don’t care like I used to because I think of how he doesn’t deserve this when he does this or he shouldn’t have this when he is like this etc. Why does my brain automatically go there? That’s horrible! I feel like I should be excited for him, rooting for him. But it also feels like I do care for him? But my thoughts keep changing. I am afraid I only am with him because I love that he loves me and how he treats me. This makes me feel selfish cause I can’t do that. I notice I still like when he cuddles me and is sweet to me and does fun things watching movies etc. And that’s not how it used to feeel which scares me because I don’t want to be without him. I also love his parents am I only with him cause of how his parents treat me? I feel so selfish and like I have to tell him and break up with him cause it’s the right thing to do. I never used to feel like this. I’m scared. Is it possible I’m just I’ve been mad and resenting how it’s been cause he’s been stressed mix with my ocd? My therapist said relationships can go through phases. Can I fall back in love with him again? I feel like I have to try to start with someone else like this is too far gone. I don’t want to stay in something where I don’t feel toward him the way I want to but I really don’t want to leave him. I feel like such an awful person cause he doesn’t deserve this and is so caring and loving despite everything the major thing that bugs me is how he gets irritable a lot which is an imperfection that makes me get anxious and question him😭 trying not to read into this and just follow what the therapist said but this is scaring me because I feel like if I loved him I wouldn’t think like this or feel like this.
