I’m finding it really hard to argue back with the thoughts/feelings. I don’t understand why I’d feel this way if I truly loved him. I feel like I’m just trying to make it be OCD when In fact it isn’t. I have found him annoying recently and the idea of intimacy has suddenly made me feel uncomfortable (it didn’t beforehand). I just want this to go away but i really can’t see how I’ll ever feel the same about him again. I want it to work and go back to normal. Everything was fine until recently and this started out of the blue- I don’t think it’ll ever be good again now.

I feel the same- 80% of my brain might be screaming ‘leave, it’s over, you don’t love him’ but there’s a tiny little whisper saying ‘you do, stay, make it work’. It’s so hard! I finally get over one thing and it throws another into the mix.

I have struggled finding one- Alexis and Kiyomi were my only option. And okay that’s good to know- I’m hoping this passes too. It’s such a weird thing, I’d love to know why it happens

Reading articles is never a good thing .... ocd can make u feel and think all kinds of negative rubbish and be so real I’m at point at the moment where the thoughts are not what if there like it’s over just leave don’t want this anymore etc but somewhere in my heart there is a little voice saying it is what u want don’t let ocd throw this away

Can totally relate last week I finally felt free of ocd for about 4 days then boom it’s back with a bang I want to be with my partner so much but all these thoughts are saying otherwise I feel guilty and angry for feeling this way then I feel nothing because so tired from it then I start worrying that I don’t want to be without her and I can feel emotions and love then I’ll get a thought of it’s over and and my guy just sinks

Ah brilliant ... my therapist in uk is very good ... I went thru the I don’t find my partner attractive and couldn’t bring myself to touch her but it passed they say rocd fixates on what matters the most and the most distressing thoughts will heighten the anxiety as we don’t want to feel it so will feel it a whole lot more if that makes sense .... but when spiked nothing makes sense or reason does it

Hey everyone, I wanted to come on here today to just share this post because I’ve been struggling with this recently. I just wanna know if this is a common thing in relationship OCD. So last Friday me and my boyfriend had a conversation that was important, and my emotions were high and I got a little emotional about something he said and we had a long talk about it, the conversation went great and afterwards everything was okay. On Saturday I was so excited to see him after work and I was overflowing with feelings of happiness and excitement. Sunday was great and we stayed on FaceTime just enjoying the day together after he went home that morning, and then came Monday. I remember getting a thought like this, “What if I’m losing feelings for him and I’m just leading him on?” And even this thought, “I don’t really feel anything towards him right now, does that mean I fell out of love with him?” And then the anxiety came, I could literally feel myself breaking out in cold sweats and I could feel the pain in my chest after these thoughts crossed my mind. But what bothers me so much about this is on Saturday and Sunday I felt so content and happy with him and I was so happy and I didn’t have any anxiety whatsoever, and then Monday came, and I had those thoughts and I feel almost numb and I can’t feel anything else except the feelings of worry and fear and my anxiety has been at a all-time high and I keep feeling this pain of guilt and hurt in my chest and I just wanted to know if anyone else has experienced the same. Because personally one thing I hate is that one day I can be so happy and energetic and then the next day I can feel numb and feel absolutely nothing towards my boyfriend. I’m not sure if this can correlate with my menstrual cycle as well, but I’ve heard that that can also make your relationship OCD worse and cause you to feel differently about your partner. Just wanting to see if anyone has dealt with the same!

I’ve been really struggling the last week and I need some help. I’ve been seeing a guy for about 2 months who checks a lot of my relationship boxes. He’s so kind and we have a lot of fun together. The first few weeks I was totally smitten but had moments of fear about being committed. We talked about it and decided to take things slowly, and then I would have days of feeling like every thing was perfect with some fearful feelings in between. Two weeks ago now my SO-OCD and ROCD started to come back a little as well as my more anxious-avoidant behaviors. I started to get more scared of the future and it was more intense. At the end of last week, he asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes. He is exactly the type of person I see myself marrying and has great values and is so secure about me. Until last week, he generally made me feel so safe and secure. Ever since saying yes, I feel so scared and anxious and my SO-OCD and ROCD is on max. I also find myself getting more annoyed and irritated about things that were minor annoyances or non-issues before. I’m having intense physical responses to both OCD themes, and the nagging thought and feeling that I need to end things with him because we aren’t right for each other. It makes me feel so sad and guilty. Sex is becoming harder because of the thoughts too, whereas at first it was perfect. I don’t know who I can talk to about this without them telling me to just break up with him. Everything is so new so I think they’d chalk it up to my intuition. But I do want to be in love and have less fear around relationships, so I don’t want to give into the fear. I think it could help me to set boundaries and have space for myself more often. I think I need some advice or insight. I know I shouldn’t ask for reassurance, but having some around how other people have felt at the beginning of a relationship would help. Why is it that the label is freaking me out so much? How do you guys set boundaries to prioritize yourself when you feel this way?
