It seriously sucks after being reassured something but you still canāt stop thinking about it. My bf definitely gets tired of it. I got a therapist and I went to one session and poured my heart out, and I felt guilty, so so guilty after. I need to figure out ways to think that can rationalize my thoughts, but I seriously canāt do that bc I havenāt learned how to. Iām proud of you for trying to understand yourself though! It takes a lot to want to make a change in your life and commit to it. Just like it is to commit to another person. I had trust issues even in my first relationship, and i was young and wondering why I couldnāt just trust him. What I came up with, the most simple shit. Didnāt really help but make me think. The only way to trust someone is to, just. trust. Well yeahhh??? Duh. But if you think about it, the events arenāt actually happening, youāre just thinking about it, they are just thoughts and they are not actions. Now if you figure out your man is making an action you donāt like, thatās when you can talk about it. This is so hard to do, and Iām sayin this as though I can confidently do that. But i cant. Iāve learned and tried to come up with ways of thinking to let things go. And if things arenāt going the way youād like them to, have a sit down and ask about boundaries. What are things you wouldnāt let slide? Also hearing his can make you more comfortable and confident in being interested with what he wants in your relationship. I so need to take my own advice but your girl is stubborn. Constantly having thoughts is exhausting. Talking and writing about it helps so much though, so youāre taking a step in the right direction!
@faithsophieann I just hate the feeling of constantly being scared that something bad will happen. Heās not a huge texter and told me that from the start, but I just wish we would talk through the day more. But then when weāre in person, he shows me such affection and I donāt question his feelings towards me. Heās so sweet and gentle over the phone too, but I could text all day long. Itās just eating me alive. Is there any other social media we could connect on girl?
@cam1724 Iāve realized that I thought Iāve made a lot of progress with my insecurities and confidence (I have definitely I canāt be too hard on myself) but now being in a relationship brings it all out in me. I think I havenāt been progressing my emotions and how I really feel about myself all these years and now that iām finally in this journey of trying better my BRAIN. itās fing hard and you just feel so alone. ocd only makes it worse š. but be curious!! you want to know him, talk to him, thatās not a bad thing to want to talk <3 and communication is a learning process bc not everyone communicates the same, just need to cater to how your partner does! i hope you can calm your mind. one thing that has helped me with my codependency is realizing i donāt NEED him. i really really want him and thatās what is making me have anxiety! you got him! he wants you! you donāt need him and you need YOU. being okay with yourself and being able to rationalize your thoughts is so talented, i hope to make it there one day and for you as well! and yeah, definitely :) i have instagram, itās faithlarson
@faithsophieann Youāre so right girl!! Thank you for that. Iām so codependent and always have been. I need to work on my self worth!! Itās always been a problem for me. I think that would help a lot and even strengthen our relationship. Thanks girl, Iāll follow you!
@faithsophieann Thereās a few it looks like lol, you can follow me at camelendez1724
I do as wellā¦my relationship is semi new and was diagnosed with ocd this year. It has been more than a struggle to try and understand my thoughts. What have you been experiencing?
@SophieAnn20:) Omg girl this is torture. This is my first healthy relationship so Iām not used to peace, Iām used to trauma. Iāve had thoughts since the beginning but have had the same ones in past relationships. My thoughts are āare you really compatible? āYou guys wonāt lastā āyouāre forcing itā āyou donāt love himā and then I get a feeling that something is off or missing. Weāve been together 4 months so itās new. But heās everything I could ask for. Iām so not used to it. I also get really scared that he doesnāt wanna be with me and is scared to tell me. And then I get sad and anxious when I think of it ending
But then when weāre physically together, I donāt ever want it to end. We live an hour away from each other so see each other on the weekends
Itās so tiring!! I have also been used to trauma and trying not to having really bad thoughts about those traumatic events happening again in my relationship just wonāt stop. Iāll hyperfixate on one thing that triggered me and I will NOT let it go. I will just think about it until it pisses me off and I have to say something about it and then it ends in a fight bc I wasnāt thinking rational! I feel the same way about having someone you feel like is everything you want in someone, and that makes it even worse bc then iām like well whyyyy am doubting him if I feel like heāll never do anything to hurt me on purpose??? This has been a huge process for me. I just recently moved in with him and you could imagine my ocd during the move !!! Man. I felt like i was never insecure before I as in a relationship and now I feel like iām judging myself and learning things I never knew about myself. But itās HARD. I try to talk about how I feel but I donāt wanna come off as insecure or nagging anymore. I just want reassurance. I feel like because of my ocd I cannot let things go because I donāt know if they are true or not and I feel like ??? .
ngl as we speak iām having anxiety bc he said to me āi had a bad dreamā and i said āwhat was it about?ā and he groaned and now im legit overthinking like wtf what it about. why didnāt he wanna tell me? was it involving me and he feels bad about it or was it a dream involving another girl? and he groaned bc he knows that i just wanted to know what i was about. and so now iām just mad. itās something i canāt control and and if i knew what it was about and it wasnāt about something i wouldnāt want it to be, iād be good. but since i donāt knowā¦.. like wtf. woke up a couple hours ago man.. just wanna move on with my thoughts.
@faithsophieann Itās so unbelievably hard. Idk if itās bc itās my first healthy relationship that Iām just not used to it, and itās causing me to overthink or what. But the one Iāve been stuck on most is āyouāre forcing itā or āit wonāt lastā. He reassured me the other day bc I was freaking out but Iāve been freaking out every day and donāt wanna constantly bring it up bc I know it can ruin things. I go back and forth from being scared I wanna leave and that thereās something missing, to being scared he wants to leave me. Like last night he didnāt seem very talkative at all and I havenāt heard from him since 9:00 last night and Iām freaking out thinking the worst
I am suffering from pure o & anxiety since 2001. I m 20% better now, i hv started carnivore diet, its been 4 days. M hoping to get better as I continue the diet. U can try it too.
