Does anyone else cringe/feel uneasy at the thought of intimacy with their SO? I read an article that says that’s a sure fire way to know your relationship is over.

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 will do! It’s in an hour or so, I’ll let you know as soon as I’m done!

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’ve got an appointment with Alexis tonight! I hope it’ll give some insight

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

Guys let me know how those sessions go!

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

I just started the awaken into love course with kiyomi fae it makes so much sense and how devastating rocd can actually be

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

How did it go with alexis hope was good for u
