this really relates to the situation i’m in and it makes me feel like such a horrible person because i know i love who i’m currently with but i seriously cannot stop thinking about someone who i was once with before (and it was years before i was even dating the person i’m with now so it makes no sense to me) so you’re not alone. I honestly haven’t found a way of trying to solve this yet, i’m not sure if i even know how but i do think about just having a break from relationships altogether, as you’ll be on your own and if you want to see whoever at one time, i’m guessing that isn’t hurting anyone if you make it known you’re not looking for a serious relationship or even a relationship. But, this can be very hard and for me, would probably make me feel worse but atleast i’m free.

is there anything you can think about to get these thoughts out of your head at the time they come? like something quick to say to yourself? idk if this makes sense but with me, i tend to think the person i’m with is the other person and that’s sooooo messed up but in that moment, i just quickly repeat the person i’m with over and over again so it gets out of my mind so maybe like a safe place in your mind would help getting these thoughts out by thinking of something only you and your boyfriend knows or have been?

I’ve been in a relationship for over 8 years and have been dealing with this exact problem the entire time. It has caused me to break up with him before, but I ended up regretting it right after. Just remember that if you actually wanted to break up with him or be with someone else, you would be more certain. It wouldn’t be something you question so much. Whenever I’m having bad ROCD, I just remember that my OCD uses my fears against me. I fear losing my boyfriend, I fear cheating on my boyfriend, I fear hurting people (emotionally or physically). OCD will use any of your fears and anxieties against you. Knowing this helped me accept my ROCD intrusive thoughts and they don’t affect me as much anymore.

I’m scared I keep asking myself is this what I want? Do I want the other guy? Yet this guy didn’t wanna date me for real so I ended things and now it’s like it’s repressed feelings all of a sudden... I’m so worried

I know it’s so hard but try not to worry about it, time will tell what happens and if you make a mistake, that’s just life and everything happens for their certain reasons. I personally believe feelings will always come and go and maybe if you know you should be with a certain person, then go with your gut.

I don’t know what to do anymore, this started nearly a year ago and caused so much stress and panic attacks over the thought of loosing my boyfriend. Now it just feels real and that he always liked girls and suppressed it (but like the boys i always liked in the past were real feelings they had to be and with my boyfriend i love him) but i haven’t got much anxiety now feels like i want the thoughts and that they don’t bother me even tho they used to, this seems to happen every time i get a lil better, idk just feels so true and that’s what i acc want with no stress, just a lil scared.

my thoughts are screaming at me telling me that i dont want my relationship anymore and that i realized i lost feelings. i have a beautiful relationship of two years with a beautiful boy that loves me dearly and i deal with this thoughs for a year and a half. Im so scared it feels so real im scared i have changed and my last therapy session made it worse she basically told me i have to realise the thoughts are true and stop lying to myself.

Maybe i dont want to hurt him??? im always questioning my feelings for him 24/7 for over a year. I wm tierd

My brain keeps comparing how I felt then with the same thoughts to now and how it is diff now to prove it had changed. I’m feeling like I know it isn’t right and that maybe I’d pair better and I want to be with someone who is good for me but I also don’t want to break up and can’t tell if that’s the ocd using his faults against me. I feel like if I were to tell someone I have no feelings at all for him anymore I’d know I’d be lying and doesn’t feel right but when I say the opposite it doesn’t feel right either. I’m also worried that this time it is real and it’s the guilt of not telling him that’s making the ocd worse not that it’s just ROCD. My thoughts are also saying so many diff things I’m confused. It feels like I can’t connect to him anymore or like I don’t have empathy which scares me cause I know I did before and I felt it but is it just that I’m frustrated w some of the issues? But it’s upsetting it feels like I don’t have the endearing feelings and love I felt and I want it to come back but then I also think I don’t cause then it will prevent be from seeing what else is out there And the thing is looking back on how it was I feel like I could def see how that was ocd but this is different… and like I at least felt I knew I loved him or wanted to be with him and i had thoughts of wanting to be with someone who this or someone who this but I didn’t actually want it and now it feels like this time I rly do mean it like I want to find better qualities but I still don’t wanna move on from him and my brain is like wel that’s how everyone feels when they breakup regardless…it rly doesn’t feel like ocd anymore 😭 and my thoughts keep saying if you don’t you don’t like this or that and it most likely won’t change cause you have been with him so long why are you with him and then I feel guilty like I need to tell him
