Are you on antidepressants? Also, it sounds like it could be depression as well, but I ask about the antidepressants because they are known to have some of those kind of effects on people. I would recommend talking to your therapist about this if you are currently seeing one.

I always wondered why most of the time I just felt "nothing" when I should be having some sort of emotional response to something. I couldn't even feel bad about not feeling!? I thought it was just me.

I’ve experienced the same, when a person goes through ocd they emotional numbness, which is normal especially when you feel axioms and sad a lot, I recommend which I am on now, which has helped me because I was going through the same numbness and my emotion are returning it’s a serotonin drug called Paxol

Nope! Never been on any anti depressants. Im Strictly against anti depressant. Sure I feel Sad but I’m still able to go to work and eat and laugh. It’s this super weird feeling like I feel like a robot. My brain feels weird. Like one time I was yelling and arguing with my mom I couldn’t get mad. Like I was screaming but I felt empty inside

@Naeun — what resources are you using? I know you’ve been to see a psychiatrist but didn’t want meds. Are you seeing a therapist? Have you bought any books or other resources to help you treat your OCD? I know you don’t support antidepressants but I think you need to take a look at the evidence for them verses your grandfather’s individual experience. Take a look at the worksheet I just posted to 0823’s post about medication fears. I don’t mean to pressure you into doing something you don’t want but SSRIs definitely make the road to recovery MUCH easier and no supplements have been found effective in the same way.

@worrieddriver hey! I went to my psychiatrist and told her and she said moderate OCD but the place doesn’t specialize in OCD. So I still have to make an appointment at the place with OCD therapist but college started and I don’t have any time! But the past three/four days intrusive thoughts have been super minimal! But sometimes I sit next to a person and I still get super gross horrific thoughts but no anxiety?!! And I said I’ll try meds as my last resort. Side effects are horrible and I’m emotionally scarred about my grandpa. Idk what to do? Can you please also post the worksheet here as well? Can’t find his post

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!
