Hey. I can see your in a lot of distress. I personally haven’t suffered with this theme like you have. But here’s what I have to say. ROCD can convince you about ANYTHING to do with your relationship. The most common ones are “I don’t actually love my partner” and “I should break up with them”. Obviously (as you know) this causes a ton of discomfort and distress. I recommend giving this vid a watch https://youtu.be/LmtdOcp6klY All the best.
@Myheadhurts35 That… is me… Everything he said.. is me everyday… I obsession about his flaws personality. His looks never bothered me. It’s hard… bc I am worried if I am sexually attracted to him or not anymore… last time we had sex I felt nothing… I am the one that started it. But when I went to the bathroom I had a panic attack and started crying… 😢 then nothing.. during it which is why I believe I should break up… 😞 during my super happy moments I was very loving and didn’t even have super love feelings… 💔 I just can’t let that happy moment go….
@7710 ❤️ There’s a bit where that man said “in order for you to have ocd about this person… you have to care for them so so much. In order for your brain to obsess about them and for ocd to attach”. If you think about it. All ocd themes are attaching to what people care about… •hocd-their sexuality •pocd- their sexual interests •harm ocd- their health and the people around them •rocd- their partners and relationships ~I’m trying to not give reassurance here. But like that man said, In order for you to obsess about something… you have to care. Therefore you care a lot for your partner. *I also recommend this person* https://youtu.be/XoCBVDdWFMM Please be gentle on yourself
@Myheadhurts35 And here’s another good vid https://youtu.be/o38wMBChzb0
@Myheadhurts35 3 years and never did I think it would get to this.. I cried a lot thinking eventually I would find my answer… scared that I actually don’t love him anymore. I know people have said that to me.. I must care about him enough to obsess. That always made me feel better but it didn’t this time. I look at pictures and feel nothing what’s so ever… I cry… I know there are things we need to work on but I am concerned that I don’t wanna deal with him… my family has given me more problems than he Ever has… I know I don’t care too much about their problems. I care but not as much. I just want my relationship back… let him go is going to hurt and break my heart if I have to say goodbye… 😞💔 that video is very informative so thank you..
I always believed it was ROCD but now I’m not sure anymore but I feel sure I wanna break up….💔 We do have a good relationship. We have things we have to work on but things that can be solved… it’s hard to sit with this bc it’s truly like I wanna break up… 😞
What if there is no voice!?! What if I am suffering from the damage ROCD has done…
I don’t want this to be reality! Am I just in denial… is just hard for me to let him go… 😢 please I need someone anyone to answer this!
Please…. Anyone… 😢
Why do I look for answers still if I believe my ROCD is gone… 😢
I need hope.. serious hope…
Please has anyone gone thru this?
I always had hope that things would go back to normal again and that my partner and I could love each other like before or during my happy moments… But no… I believe I’m stuck in constant denial….
Please… 😭
Anyone…
Help me…
I need hope again,..
Please 😢
Anyone
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?
Right now I feel like I’ve realized something awful. Like maybe… I never truly loved my boyfriend. Maybe in the beginning I was just excited to be in a relationship. Maybe I confused that excitement with real love. And when the intrusive thoughts started, maybe it wasn’t ROCD — maybe it was the truth hitting me. I write this and it feels real. That’s the scariest part. It feels calm and clear and like maybe I’ve just been lying to myself all along, holding on because I “should,” not because I truly want to. I can’t remember how it felt to love him — and that makes it worse. I feel so disconnected, so numb, like nothing makes sense anymore. Every time I try to feel something for him, it feels like I’m faking it. Like I’m playing a role, not being myself. But the thing is… I’m not at peace. If this was really the truth, why does it hurt so much? Why does this “realization” come with panic, guilt, emptiness, and so much fear? I don’t want to hurt him. I don’t want to lose him. But I also don’t want to keep living like this — doubting myself, my feelings, and my past. I feel like I’m stuck in a cycle I can’t break, and I’m scared I’ll always feel this way. Has anyone ever felt like this before?
Hi. I wanted to stop posting here, but I can’t hold it in anymore. I’m feeling so lost. I’m in a relationship that, from the outside, looks wonderful. We’ve been together for 2 years. He loves me deeply. He’s kind and caring. And still… I can’t feel anything. I can’t imagine a future with him — living together, starting a family, growing old. When I try, it feels like something in me shuts down, like it’s wrong. I don’t feel happiness in the relationship. I don’t feel love, warmth, or comfort. I feel anxiety, numbness, guilt, and fear. We fight over the smallest things. My thoughts scream that I don’t love him, that I’m forcing this, that I’m just used to him. The scariest part is: sometimes I feel okay, even calm. And that’s when it hits me — “What if this calm means I’ve accepted the truth? What if I don’t love him?” It feels like I’m in shock. Like I’m finally seeing clearly… but I’m terrified that it’s a clarity I never wanted. I don’t know what’s real anymore. I just know that I’m exhausted. And I want peace. If anyone else has felt this — the numbness, the fear, the doubt that feels like the truth — please tell me how you’ve gotten through it. I don’t want to lose him. But I also don’t want to keep living like this. i know that people reading this will tell me to leave. but i dont have any reasons. All the problems started because of my never ending thoughts. i feel like i ruin everything. i feel like i have changed. im so lost and scared. i dont understand what is happening. It feels so real. im in agony, im crying so much. I wasnt always like this. i am trying to remember times i felt better and i cant. i cant feel anything. its so hard. i can’t explain how i feel and in scared what are you going to respond if someone will. i usually see “if you feel so bad then leave” but its not like that. he loves me so much and if the thoughts werent there it would gave been so different. everything was perfect. but i keep thinking that when the thoughts started, one and a half years ago, i realised that “i just dont like him” and gbat i couldn’t accept the truth and i am denying it. i feel fake. do i even have rocd? or is this cope?? why do i feel like this. why does it feel so real? please somebody help me
