Just remember the more you dwell and the more you debate this, the more you’re feeding your OCD. Get out of your head, notice these thoughts and let them pass. They’re thoughts. It’s very difficult to do, but dwelling reinforces OCD. Yes, therapy is a must. I’m in therapy with NOCD and it’s helping.
@Brendan =] ….I don’t think I have ROCD anymore… I really don’t… I think I wanna break up… it hurts… 💔😢 I don’t wanna do it… my happy moments were lies….
@7710 ❤️ Notice how you said you think you wanna break up followed by I don’t wanna do it. Also, you’re believing that happy moments were lies. OCD has you right where it wants you. Also, with you feeling this way, you’ll probably continue to dwell, which feeds it more. Therapy is the way to start getting better. The sooner you call or find a specialist to begin ERP, the sooner you can start to conquer this.
@Brendan =] I am doing okay. I did feel better when I saw him. My other worry is having feelings for someone else which is causing me to stress out. I know I don’t want that person and I work with him. He’s a manager and has a huge relief he wasn’t there. I don’t look or talk to him bc he’s a trigger. My brain makes me think I have crushes on everyone and I don’t want to act on it at all. I love my partner and I don’t want to be with someone else.
@Brendan =] I am still scared. I don’t want to be with others. That’s why I like leaving work early.
@Brendan =] I was fine asked him for a kiss and told him I love you but now I’m back at square 1 again….
@7710 ❤️ Again, sadly, I’m not going to be able to provide enough or be able to take away your pain as much as I wish I could. I will say, however, that it seems like you’re going back and forth trying to find certainty and checking your feelings. This is just prolonging your OCD and continuing the battle. Try to get out of your head and back to your body. Focus on your senses. Have you called NOCD about a first appointment?
I need to get into therapy! I need too!!
Relax, calm down, breath. Everything will be alright
@Maxime1701 No it’s not okay! 😭😭I’m in denial!!
This isn’t normal!!
I’m very sorry you’re going through this pain.
@Brendan =] I don’t even feel numb.. or anxiety.. 😰
I really want things to go back to normal again.. 💔😭
Do I just love him as a friend.. 😢
@7710 ❤️ This is rumination and a search for certainty. Self-assurance or reassurance from others doesn’t work because you’ll only experience relief for a short while and will just need more and more until you’re constantly craving it. The whole time, OCD is making you give into its wishes and has you at its control. What you need to do is apply skills here that are healthy.
I can’t touch him or I don’t want to touch him… I’m scared!
@7710 ❤️ Avoidance due to fear. This is OCD controlling you yet again. Exposures will help with this once you have the necessary foundation and framework.
@Brendan =] I truly think about breaking up but I don’t want to I think.
@7710 ❤️ That’s one of the core thoughts that most people with ROCD think. I was in the same boat myself.
@Brendan =] I was doing fine on and off yesterday. I knew I love him and then started thinking is I’m happy with him. Then thought about my friends relationship. I love staying home and so does my partner. So I don’t mind being home. We are more i door people.
@Brendan =] I started crying about my happy moments. I want that back!
I’m in such a dark place right now. No matter what I do with my boyfriend — kissing, hugging, cuddling, talking — I feel nothing. Absolutely nothing. And every time, my brain says: “That’s it. It’s the truth. You don’t love him anymore.” I keep thinking I’m forcing myself to act like I still like him just because I can’t accept the truth — that maybe I fell out of love and don’t want to admit it. When he calls me beautiful, when he’s kind to me, when he holds me… I feel numb. And that numbness makes me feel like a stranger in my own life. Like I’m faking everything. Like I’m lying to him and to myself. It feels too real. I used to have moments — even during intrusive thoughts — where I would relax in his arms and feel safe and reminded that this is ROCD. But now… even those moments feel gone. Like the thoughts aren’t lies anymore — they feel like the truth. And I don’t know what to do with that. My therapist made things worse. She told me things that made me believe I’ve mentally “decided” I have to be with him, and that I’m wrong for thinking it’s bad to walk away. Now I feel like I’ve built my entire relationship on an idea that I should stay, not that I want to. I feel like I’ve changed. I remember moments of deep love, warmth, and closeness… but now I can’t feel them anymore. And all I hear in my head is “you’re different now. It’s over.” I’m exhausted. I feel like I’ve hit a wall. I’m not even crying anymore — I’m just… empty. What if this is the truth I’ve been avoiding all along? What if I just can’t accept that I stopped loving him? What if this relationship is no longer right, and I’m just pretending? This is the worst it’s ever been. I’ve never felt this far gone before.
my thoughts are screaming at me telling me that i dont want my relationship anymore and that i realized i lost feelings. i have a beautiful relationship of two years with a beautiful boy that loves me dearly and i deal with this thoughs for a year and a half. Im so scared it feels so real im scared i have changed and my last therapy session made it worse she basically told me i have to realise the thoughts are true and stop lying to myself. And made me think i am so scared and heartbroken bc i put high expectations on myslef to be with my boyfriend for all my life. Maybe i dont want to hurt him??? im always questioning my feelings for him 24/7 for over a year. I wm tierd
I feel like I shouldn’t be with my partner anymore, but I have no clear reason why. I feel sad every single day, I have a constant heaviness in my chest, I cry often, and I start arguments with him. I can’t remember the good memories. Everything feels distant, fake, or tainted. I don’t know why I love him — and all my thoughts tell me that I never truly did, that I only wanted to feel something, and now I finally see the truth. The worst part is that it all feels so real. I feel lost. I feel numb. I feel guilty. I can’t feel love right now, but some part of me still wants to hold on, still wants help. I don’t want to make any decisions right now. I just want to know I’m not alone. Has anyone else gone through this?
