is there any place where you feel like not even the obsessions can get to you?

honestly no, it’s like my brain is never quiet but i have noticed that when i play video games or listen to music the thoughts go away mostly but never completely
For me, the answer is no which is why I always take my OCD with me wherever I go. I don't let OCD get to me and I continue on with my day as best I can. This does take time, so please be patient with yourself and never forget that you've got this! OCD is not in the driver's seat - you are!
@Anonymous Thank you so much ;D
@SilviaRodriguez - You're most welcome! I'm happy to help!
Nope, anywhere I go, I still have to face myself.
I'm struggling really hard with relationship obsessions. Do I really love my partner? How can I know? Am I really just faking it? That kind of thing. It's making my life and relationship a lot harder than they need to be. I could use a few helpful coping mechanisms, trying to move away from less helpful ones like chasing reassurance.
for me it’s getting to the point where i don’t feel in love with my boyfriend anymore. i’m trying to keep myself from compulsing since my compulsions are all mental. it’s like the thoughts consume my mind every second of every day and i can’t catch a break. it’s like i want to be with him so bad but my brain won’t allow me. any advice?
I'm wondering if this is a common OCD experience: does anyone else find that when you have idle time, your mind just spirals into endless rumination on negative "what ifs" & intrusive thoughts? It's been happening to me for the past three years, which coincides with starting a really high-stress job. Weekends used to be my time to relax, but now I dread weekends...I only feel relief when I'm sleeping because it's the only time my mind seems to quiet down. It's honestly so depressing to lose that enjoyment. Does anyone else relate to this, and if so, what helps you cope?
