I’m in this stage too. It’s really hard during this stage but I’ve learned this is really the ocd talking. It’s a doubting disorder that eventually will make you doubt you even have ocd. What’s helped me is responding to the thoughts saying “maybe i love him maybe I don’t” I don’t need to accept the thought but I just recognize it’s there and try to let it fly by. (It takes a lot of effort tho) if that’s too triggering right now then just try to label every doubting thought about your relationship or if you even have ocd as “ocd thinking.” That helps, for me at least, put things in perspective and get a sense of reality

Thank you both for the post and response. It’s soothing to know that I am not the only one and that the thoughts can change. I’m wondering how long these intrusive thoughts can last ?

I make lists of good qualities- sometimes going back to the good qualities I appreciate about my person help. Also, I don’t always have to be IN LOVE with him to be choosing the relationship. My kids make me crazy a lot and I don’t feel overwhelming love for them everyday but I choose them everyday. I think maybe love could be consistently choosing even when someone is less than loveable. I think I would feel more loved if someone liked me even on my worst days - maybe my partner feels the same?

freaking out

my therapist suggested that some of my less bad rocd intrusive thoughts are actually mine, and not intrusive. She ended up taking it back when she saw the alarm on my face and saw how panicked I got. I feel really freaking anxious. We were only talking about it because I mentioned a lot of doubt surrounding those less bad ones, but it only filled me with more doubt. I don’t want those thoughts to be mine. I really don’t. I feel scared and so discouraged after this session. I feel scared about the worst thoughts, what if those aren’t intrusive. I feel so much doubt.

Does any one ever question if their ocd isn’t ocd?

That’s kinda my question. All my thoughts feel so realistic and so now I doubt if they are ocd and if I just can’t make my mind up about something and I’m using ocd as an excuse or something idc I feel like this post is word vomit.

Advices and similar stories

So for a while i have been suffering of HOCD combined with a little of ROCD and had massive episodes of anxiety and panic attacks, because of that I lost my attraction and my libido while also being in a relationship and that stresses me bad. Also since the start of the severe anxiety I started to lose it gradually over time and at the moment I do not feel any anxiety anymore while having these thoughts which makes me think that I want this to happen because they don’t disgust me anymore. Any advices on how to hold on and get over my OCD? Also is the disappearing of disgust a sign of recovery or denial?
