Not enjoying things
Sometimes I feel like I don't enjoy my activities like I used to. I don't know why.

Don’t read into it too much. Things like this fluctuate and can be affected by other things you’ve got going on in your life… it’s also normal for you to think you know what I don’t really think this is for me anymore and to try something else. Other times there is no ‘why’ - if you’re feeling a lack of enjoyment in life in general speak to your doctor or therapist about it.
Depression can do that.
I’m so sorry to hear you are not enjoying things the same way you use to. Sometimes OCD can effect our enjoyment in life but practicing non-engagement with these thoughts can be very helpful. Remember, the more we ruminate on these thoughts, the stronger it will make them. You got this!
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.
I hate how ocd targets everything I love to do. Walking, excercising, gym… I used to love those things. It was my therapy. It were the things I could escape my thinking. Now those are the things i get stuck in my head. Why? It makes me sad. Sorry not so positive today.
I feel like I’ve lost who I am , even since my depression and ocd started. I don’t even know what I like anymore:(( I doubt everything I think and it’s so draining because I just want to feel like my old self again😭 I feel like I have no motivation to get better which is bothering me so much because I want too but something is holding me back from doing what I need to do :/ with all my thoughts and doubts , I feel like I can’t trust myself . I don’t know if I’m the only one that feels this much pain
