I wish I could tell you when:/ I wish I could tell you progress is always linear. I’ve begged for these answers myself. OCD sucks. Feel free to go scream in your pillow, indulge a bit in some chocolate or something, break down crying. You don’t always have to be strong. But know that you will always be stronger than this. You have what it takes, even in your lowest, most chaotic moments. You have a community of support behind you every step of the way. There is always hope. OCD is never real - it will always be “what if’s” told to you as facts. Reality sneakily clothed in discomfort. You are in control, even when you feel completely out of control. These are the lies OCD tells. These are the normal, physiological responses. But xMariax, you do you. Because even through all of this, you’re badass;) I believe in you - the you underneath OCD’s lies - the one who will win?

Thank you so much!! Its just that I had been doing really good for days but then the anxiety left and the backdoor spike came in and then I started to get worried about not feeling anything and now I feel again like I maybe dont want to be with my partner but I dont want to think nor feel like that

It’s really isn’t a bad thing, I’m in the backdoor spike I don’t get anxiety anymore. I’m scared that I’m actually gay. I come on this app for reassurance so I know I need to delete it. I delete and then feel the urge to get it again, “just to check it” when I’m really looking for reassurance. I can’t tell what’s real and what’s fake anymore

❤️ I feel that. It’s always something:( Our track record for getting through terribly bad days is 100%, though. When you’re ready - shove that in OCD’s face. Maybe the hopelessness and fear will still be there, but coping through it every.single.day. is something to take pride in. You just gotta be here when things click into place:) Because they will. Your endurance has brought you this far, and this community is here to lift you up as you fight the next saga. You are you no matter what OCD says. Don’t lose hope in that, xMariax.

Lately, I’ve been feeling like something has changed in me — like I have changed, and like my feelings for my boyfriend have faded or shifted. It’s one of the worst sensations I’ve ever felt. I keep thinking things like “I don’t love him like before” or “I’ve changed too much to feel anything now.” Sometimes when he calls me or makes a joke, I get irritated for no reason. I feel like I’m being mean, cold, disconnected — and then guilt crashes down on me. I remember how I used to feel: warm, close, expressive. And now… I just don’t feel the same. That makes me think: “Maybe I’ve fallen out of love.” But I’m also constantly anxious. I overthink every moment. I can’t relax into anything without analyzing if what I feel is “right.” It makes me wonder — maybe I haven’t actually changed. Maybe I’m just overwhelmed and tired from months of these thoughts and fears. I don’t know how to feel right now. I just want to believe that this disconnection isn’t proof that love is gone, but a sign that I’m scared and burnt out.

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?
