What if I don't care about him?
What if I don't
What if I don't
Iv3 been crying for more then 30 minutes now on and off I feel like I'm faking it like I can stop my tears but then they start a second later I don't understand
I’m sorry your having such intrusive thoughts. “Maybe you do care, maybe you don’t” sitting in the uncertainty will help you on the path to recovery! Hang in there!
What if you do ? Maybe you do maybe you don’t. Dont answer the question. Just sit with the uncertainty of it.
if you didn’t, you wouldn’t be feeling like this. i know how you feel and you’re okay i promise.
I wanna scream
@11/27/21 I wanna fucking scream I'm so tired what if what my doctor said is true
@11/27/21 I feel so fucking tired I feel so tired I feel like I'm doing this byllshit on purpose idk how to explain the feeling I feel like I'm doing it on purpose
@11/27/21 What did your doctor tell u?
But I don't feel anxious that's the thing I don't feel anything ans that scares me bro
@Angela_89 He said that maybe I'm not in love with my bf and that we aren't bf and gf because we haven't met and we long distance I feel so tied bro he suggested that I break up with him multiple times I'm so tied this why I lied about what thoughs were about in the first place
@11/27/21 He's not a therapist he's a doctor that you go to like when you sick eith a flew or sum idk I feel like I'm doing it on purpose like I don't know how to explain that feeling I think I'm the only one who feels like this because I'm faking it
@11/27/21 That happened to me too, usually when we have these thoughts we end up obsessing over it and overanalyzing the feeling and it becomes this vicious cycle of thoughts that causes anxiety and stress. Eventually our body becomes so stressed and tired of all of it that it becomes numb to these thoughts. We end up disconnecting from everything, even our partners. ROCD is tricky and it convince us all sorts of things. Just talking and reasoning with those intrusive thoughts that you keep obsessing over won't help. From what your doctor said, I don't think they truly understand what's going on in your head, I suggest you to speak with someone that is actually an OCD therapist
@Angela_89 I'm tired I feel nothing and that's why I feel like I don't ocd I just feel nothing absolutely nothing I don't feel anxiety nothing bit at the same time I feel guilt and sadness I don't know how to explain it bro I'm tired I've been crying over this right for more then 30 minutes on and off I don't know hoe to explain it I feel like if explain it wrong then tjay means I don't love him I just don't know what I feel I just feel nothing I don't understand I already told him about that he said we will find a therapist
@11/27/21 Yeah, you should find a therapist. it still sounds like you are numb at the moment and that's why you don't feel anxious. You may be experiencing disconnection within yourself because of how much stress you have been feeling. If we feel disconnection within ourselves it's more likely that we will end up feeling at the outside too. Take a deep breath if you can and realize that just obsessing and overanalyzing these thoughts you are having won't actually get you anywhere. allow yourself to relax and don't overanalyze these thoughts right now. You aren't in a very great state so dont make big decisions like breaking up.
@Angela_89 What you mean not in the great state if breaking up your making me feel like I do have to break up
@Angela_89 He hasn't been online for a while I felt a little bit of something in my stomach I kept on calling him texting him telling him I'm worried but I didn't feel anything I'm tired
@11/27/21 Okay I have may have word that wrong, you don't have to break up. You always have a choice of breaking up or not and the point I'm making is that ROCD can make us feel like we have to break up. I just don't want you to regret doing big decisions like that and then end up realizing that it was just ROCD. For now just don't overthink about this because it doesn't help much and your thoughts will continue going. If he hasn't been online, I'm not sure but I think best you can do is focus on yourself for right now. Actually the same thing has been happening to me but the best I can do is just let him be until he comes back.
@Angela_89 I did that before went back to hom
@Angela_89 He came back and left me on seen cuz he know I was panicking so he did that so I don't have to worry about it and my rocd doesn't get out of control
@11/27/21 Did you get help yet?
@Angela_89 Not yet
It hurts so much to write that. Lately, every time I talk to my boyfriend — whether it’s through text or in person — I feel this deep irritation, like everything he says or does annoys me. Sometimes, it even feels like disgust, and it’s terrifying. I don’t feel love. I don’t feel excitement. I don’t even feel sadness about not feeling anything… just numb. I look at him and I don’t feel like I used to. I don’t know what happened to me. I used to be so sure I loved him, and now I feel like a completely different person — cold, distant, empty. My brain keeps telling me: “You don’t love him anymore. You never did. You’re only staying out of habit.” My mom told me that if I don’t like him anymore, then I’m hurting both him and myself by staying in this. And hearing that broke me. Because that’s exactly what I fear — that I’m faking everything, and I just don’t want to admit the truth. I feel so lost. And I don’t know how to separate my thoughts from reality anymore. All I know is that I want to feel something again — anything. Because right now, all I feel is guilt, fear, and confusion. i used to know these thoughts are just thoughts and that if i didn’t have them i would be so happy but now, i cant think aboyr that bc the thoughts feel too real.
My boyfriend just poured his heart out to me. He told me how much pain he’s in — how disconnected he feels from me, how hurt he is that we’re not intimate, that I don’t react to his love, that we don’t feel like a couple anymore. He said things that should’ve broken my heart… but I felt nothing. Nothing. And now I’m terrified. Not just scared — destroyed by the thought that maybe I really don’t love him, and I’ve just been lying to myself this entire time. I keep thinking: “If I loved him, wouldn’t I feel something?” “Why didn’t I cry? Why didn’t I reach for him? Why didn’t I say ‘I’m sorry’?” “What kind of person listens to someone they care about and feels absolutely nothing?” I feel like I’ve been fighting this for so long — like I’ve spent months, maybe even years, battling the same thoughts over and over again: “You don’t love him.” “You’re just used to him.” “You want to want him — but you don’t.” And what makes it worse is that everyone around me says the same thing: “Maybe you’re forcing it.” “You can’t control how you feel.” “If you’re this confused, that means something.” But what no one seems to understand is that I’ve tried so hard. I didn’t want this. I didn’t choose to become cold. I didn’t choose to stop feeling things. I didn’t want to lose my ability to love — or to connect — or to just exist next to him without questioning every single breath I take. I feel like I’ve become someone else. Someone who doesn’t react. Someone who doesn’t smile when he’s kind. Someone who doesn’t feel warmth when he says “I love you.” But this isn’t who I was. There was a time when I loved hearing his voice. When I looked forward to seeing him. When I felt. And now… nothing. Just this endless cycle of doubt, guilt, numbness, fear, and the horrible thought: “If it feels this real, maybe it is.” I don’t know what this is anymore. I feel like I’m hurting him. And I feel like I’m losing myself, too. And the most terrifying part? I don’t feel anything about that either. But if I truly didn’t care — why does this hurt so much? If anyone else has ever felt like this… please, please tell me I’m not alone. I don’t want this to be the truth. I don’t want to lose him. But I also don’t want to keep living like this.
it feels to real i feel like my heart is ripping apart. it feel like i dont love him, that i lost feelings, im hollow
